2022 Recap
I’m diving into writing this 2022 recap both for you who are curious and ready to learn and, truthfully, me too. So often our brains focus on short term memories… what we did last week or maybe last month. With deep to-do lists and responsibilities, the adventures and triumphs of a few months ago become distant memories and often we find ourselves wanting more, forgetting what we’ve already had.
So in this recap, I’m hoping you can find some lessons and inspiration from my year, but also so that I can intentionally soak in all this year has brought me both personally and professionally.
This year has been a year of expansion and maturity. These two words are certainly NOT the words I would have expected if you had asked me in December 2021, but 2022 has truly transformed me. I am quite frankly not the person I was in 2021.
In business, you hear the phrase “next level” or “level up” quite often. I think too frequently it is used in a flashy or vaguely inspiring way but the reality is, it does happen. People do, infact, level up. 2022 was my year to enter my next level. I felt it. I embraced it… and I can never go back to who I was before.
In 2021, we made some big changes. We moved out of our tiny home of 16 years. We moved to entirely different city (or town as it may be). I no longer worked with a client that was taking the majority of my time. I embraced some serious fear as I became the major breadwinner for our family. It was quite frankly, terrifying… but we did it anyways.
Then January came… and I found my place. I created a new system for coaching clients and met some of the most incredible business owners and watched them walk through growth, fear, ups, and downs. I became more profitable than ever before but it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter because I LOVED what I was offering and I KNEW I was making a difference.
And with January came systems and workflows that just WORKED. Then came the boundaries and respect that I delivered and expected. Then came the vision to build more and make a bigger impact. Then came building my team and making space. All the pieces just clicked together like a beautiful puzzle that was so obvious but hadn’t ever been put together before… because I wasn’t ready.
I tell my coaching clients all the time that you are exactly where you are supposed to be in your journey. I believe this more than ever after 2022.
I could NOT have run the business I run now previously in my old tiny house. I could NOT have run the systems I have now when I lacked boundaries. I could NOT have handled the business while still working for that other client. I wasn’t ready.
2022 was the year of expansion and maturity, in so many ways.
If I spent time writing about every detail of the last year… we’d be here til 2024, so here are some highlights:
