Hi listener, I wanted to take a few minutes in the final episode of 2021 to reflect and review what we have accomplished this past year both at Empower Her and in the King household.    Thanks for being here and happy holidays to you and yours! May your holiday season be blessed with family, friends, and lots of laughs.   Key Takeaways  

• One of the biggest gifts this year has been welcoming our son Jackson into the world. He has been such a gift that my husband and I are incredibly thankful for. 
• The arrival of Jackson has allowed me to slow down, enjoy time with him, and be grateful for my entrepreneural career. 
• “What can we do with the time that we have? How can we get more comfortable with saying no.”  Are questions I have been repeatedly asking myself throughout this transition into motherhood/entrepreneurship.
• Listen to your gut when you’re setting boundaries and considering new things: Ask yourself, do I feel good about this or do I see this as a red flag? Whatever the answer is, be okay with that. 
• Celebrate! Empower Her Co. launched its second collective this past year, and there are twenty-two members a part of it. I’m so thankful for the community we’ve created in Dubuque county and in the Corridor. These women are inspiring and true cheerleaders for one another as we pursue our goals.
• In March, Empower Her Co. hosted it’s first summit, and it was truly AMAZING! We were able to gather so many phenomenal women in one space and learn best practices for growing our businesses.
• We’re fourteen episodes into this podcast, and I’m so proud this podcast was able to get off the ground 2021! I had been contemplating a podcast for years, and I’m thankful for the women who have graciously been guests as well as our listeners who’ve welcomed us into their ears and homes.
• Lastly, I’m proud of the parternship we have made with The Innovation Lab with locations surrounding Eastern, Iowa in rural communitites. This organization not only has beautiful co-working spaces for businesses to utilize, but coaching and innovation services to guide entrepreneurs through challenges and pursue greatness.
• “The woman are what makes this so special”
