In the Mirror of 2023:
Reflecting on Purposeful Growth and Seizing Opportunities

As I prepare to bid farewell to 2023, I wanted to share my top 10 reflections. From turning 40 and feeling that the best years are yet to come, to having my children embark on their next journey of both kinder and school, really settling down in our new home and learning to step even more into my own authenticity and congruency.

It’s been a year in which I feel extreme gratitude for the life we have created.

Below are my top learnings/reflections:

1. Be Yourself: Don’t be afraid to let your true personality shine through. Even if everyone doesn’t understand your unique quirks, those who appreciate your authenticity will be drawn to you.

2. Learn to Say No: Setting boundaries is essential for protecting your time and energy. Remember, it’s perfectly okay to decline requests that don’t align with your priorities.

3. Surround Yourself with Like-Minded People: Finding your tribe is like discovering your favourite pizza topping – when your values align, it’s a match made in heaven. Seek out individuals who share your passions, understand your humour, and appreciate your individuality.

4. Embrace Life’s Challenges: We all face moments of difficulty and struggle. Accepting these challenges as part of the journey allows us to emerge stronger and more resilient.

5. Set Ambitious Goals: Dream big and reach for the stars. Even if you don’t achieve every goal you set, the pursuit itself is an adventure filled with valuable lessons.

6. Never Doubt Your Worth: You are unique and irreplaceable. Own your individuality and recognize the value you bring to the world.

7. Trust Your Intuition: Your inner voice is your superpower. When something feels off, pay attention to those intuitive nudges.

8. Embrace Routine and Structure: Establishing a consistent rhythm can provide stability and enhance productivity. Find a routine that works for you and stick to it.

9. Schedule Regular Breaks: Just like a car needs fuel, your body needs downtime to recharge. Schedule regular breaks to rest, relax, and replenish your energy levels.

10. Adapt and Pivot: When unexpected challenges arise, don’t be afraid to adjust your course. Embrace change, reframe your perspective, and see new opportunities emerge.

And so, there you have it, a sneak peek into my thoughts around 2023! Is there work still to be done to reach my full potential? – Absolutely. But gosh, it’s been a great year.

As we dive into the uncharted waters of 2024, it’s important to stop and reflect on the journey to date. So, what do I hope it has in store for me? Well it’s, more laughter, continued resilience, and the kind of growth that feels like a friendly pat on the back.
Thanks for being part of this fantastic journey!

Looking forward to sharing 2024 with you.

Your coach,
