Happy New Year, WHM's! 💥
2024 is here and I’ve dusted off my laptop, and now I’m back.
Not with my usual bang though. This year I’m seeing January as the ‘warm-up’ month of the year. It’s a time for easing into the year gently, doing the things that nourish me in the winter months, and giving myself plenty of time and space to reflect and dream.
If you're feeling introspective too, I wanted to share with you some questions which I've been using in my own journal to help me be at my best and progress in my career this year. Whether you have 15 minutes or a few hours, I invite you to grab your journal, get cozy, and reflect on a few (or all) of them. Then, when the time feels right and you have the energy, focus and momentum, you’ll be ready to leap back into action.
