Goodbye 2023, Hello 2024!
As we turn the page to the New Year, I find it valuable to spend some time reflecting. I like to consider the good, the bad, the fun times and the challenges that each year brings.
2023 was an amazing year! My word for 2023 was ‘delight’ and I definitely felt the power of this intention throughout the year. Yet, there were still challenges and lessons that I needed to learn, some of them the hard way.
In the podcast this week, I share some of these reflections and I hope you will be inspired to take your own look back.
Here are some of the (delightful) highlights:
- I took 7 vacations, some work and pleasure, some pleasure only.
- My community grew by 700%. That means I get to help more people on their AF journey
- I had fun in my business, collaborating with 2 new partners, Sarah with The Sober Edge Book Club and Karolina with the Alcohol-Free Coaches Retreat.
- We got a puppy!
- I recorded 51 new podcast episodes and met many fascinating new guests.
- I created new programs for women 50 and beyond
Some challenges:
- My grandson was in the hospital multiple times in 2023.
- I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition this summer.
- A close family member continues to struggle with AUD.
Some lessons I learned:
- I have new compassion and empathy for those of you with food restrictions (I miss eggs and cheese!)
- While addressing one health challenge, I have the opportunity to discover new ways to support my overall health.
- I love having an alternative doctor on my medical team – my naturopath is amazing and someone I would not have sought out without my diagnosis.
- On the advice of my naturopath, I joined a gym. The senior class I attend has been one of the highlights of my year. They are warm and inviting, hilarious and inspiring! What was I waiting for?
- It’s more important to bring the right energy to my business than it is to bring more tools.
- Connection continues to be the number one thing my audience and community are seeking.
- It’s never too late to make new friends
I hope this recap inspires you to reflect on the highs and lows of 2023.
