The Posts You Viewed, Loved And Shared The Most — 2025
A look back at the posts that resonated most in 2025 — the favorites, the surprises, and the ideas readers kept coming back to.
Every year, I love pulling together this list — not just to look back, but to notice what truly resonated with you. I pay attention to what you read, save, and return to, because it helps me better understand what you’re drawn to and what you’d love more of in the year ahead.
If you’ve been here for a while, many of these will feel familiar. But chances are, one or two slipped under your radar — and those are often the ones that quietly become favorites later on.
These are the 20 posts you spent the most time with in 2025. As I look ahead to 2026, this little ritual helps guide what I create next — and I hope it helps you discover something you didn’t even realize you missed.
