Well, well, well. Sometimes things do NOT go as planned! I had recorded this episode middle of December of 2024 - but then my grandmother passed away and I had to take a couple emergency trips to DC, my assistant had a mental breakdown and suddenly left the country, the fires in LA hit as soon as I got back from DC and then 47 was inaugurated and it's been a bit chaotic in my mind and life lately! Anyway, I figured I'd get this episode to y'all anyway because even though it seems a little out of time right now with no recognition of anything that's happened since mid-December, it's still relevant! Stay tuned as we're getting our wheels greased and turning for weekly (or more) episodes now and going forward! In this episode, I reflect on 10 things I'm proud of from 2024, share 3 challenges from the year and 5 things Im excited about for 2025. It's a fun practice to try out for yourself! Take a listen.
