What This Year Taught Me: Community, Faith and Showing Up

Hey everyone, This week, for the final episode of 2025, I sit down for a heartfelt solo chat and share my Wita Recap of the year. ​ I open up about the highs and lows, a personal family grief that changed us deeply and how our overseas trip became a place of healing, faith and connection.

It reminded me of the power of community and why our village matters so much when life feels heavy. ​ This season also brought me back to the heart of why I created Wine with Wita. I share what this platform has taught me, the privilege of building a community where families feel seen, and how meaningful this year’s collaborations have been in supporting children and parents. ​ I talk about: The highs, lows and lessons that shaped 2025 Walking through family grief and finding healing overseas Faith, family, food and the strength of community Reconnecting with the purpose behind Wine with Wita Collaborations that helped raise awareness and support families Navigating the NDIS changes as a clinician and business owner Celebrating 85 episodes and nearly 10k downloads Gratitude for winning Voice of Influence A meaningful way to wrap up 2025 and look toward a new year of connection. Thank you for following along this year and being part of this beautiful community. I am so grateful for every download, message and moment we have shared.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful, safe and joy-filled holiday season.

I’ll see you back here in 2026.

Lots of love, Rita
