Episode #178: 2023 Favorites + Goals Recap

December 25, 2023

Show Notes

In today’s episode, I share an assortment of 2023 personal favorites (book / movie / music / planning tools) and then share which of my own goals came to fruition and which did not. I also discuss the merits of setting goals without the expectation that every single one of them will come to fruition.

I hope everyone listening is having a peaceful and restful holiday break; a very merry Christmas to those celebrating, and enjoy the last week of 2023!!

    When you said your word for 2023 was clear, my immediate thought was “yeah, she really achieved this by paring down her goals”. Interesting how you felt like the year wasn’t aligned with that word. My take, you were clear on your priorities.

      That’s a good point! The things that were important to me largely DID happen. Thank you for the insight!

    This was one of my favorite episodes. I found it so comforting that you didn’t meet and exceed every single goal! It encouraged me to both dream big for the new year and to have grace for myself. Thank you!
