This is the second last episode of the year! I can’t believe we’re already coming to the end of 2021. I wanted to break down the year that was 2021 with you. This is part 1 - the personal episode and part 2 - the business episode will follow. I encourage everyone to separate their business and their personal goals for 2022. Often we only make business goals and neglect having aspirations for our personal lives. I’m so grateful I made personal goals for myself in 2021, it has allowed me to keep working on myself and how I connect with my friends and family. In this episode, I’m going to chat about the three core personal goals I set for the year and how they manifested. These goals include: creating more love and connection around me, taking care of my body, and upgrading my daily habits so I’m focused, creative, and on purpose. I’ll share with you the many highs, lows, the biggest learnings and takeaways, and a summary of the year that was. I always choose a theme for the year ahead. This year it was la dolce vita - the sweet life. I wanted to have a year where play, joy, and fun are paramount. This year has definitely felt like I’ve accomplished this focus. Whilst I wasn’t able to travel, I was able to find the sweetness in the smaller, simpler things. I really wanted to share this episode with you to show the whole picture of a CEO of a million-dollar business. There are so many amazing times that go along with the really challenging times. It is this polarity that can make it an incredibly surprising experience and unforgettable year. LINKS:Previous podcasts mentioned: A First Quarter Check In: A Life Update, My Wedding, Honeymoon & New Biz Beginnings - Shine Online with Ellie Swift | Podcast on SpotifyResources mentioned: Natalie K.
