Hey friends! Welcome to a new episode of the Empower Her Podcast!    This week’s episode is a solo cast sharing my goals and hope for 2023.    Quarter four was a rough one with an incredibly heavy workload and not much margin for fun and relaxation. I was encouraged by a business coach to ask myself why I couldn’t have both. It’s okay to shoot for big numbers but I can care for myself too.  Reflection and Expansion Workbook

• Walk through the dual actions of reflection and expansion with this guided workbook. This week’s episode shares my responses to some of the prompts.
• Family: My husband and I had a wild 2022 and we are committing to date afternoons. It’s easy to get fully focused on our businesses so we are consciously scheduling more time together.
• Friends: I love time with my girlfriends and I will try to make it out of the house for at least one night a month for girl’s night! I’d also like a couple coffee dates in there, just for fun, not business related.
• Business: It’s been a while since I connected 1-on-1 with a business coach. I don’t have anyone in mind yet, but I know it’s something I need. Shoot me a DM on Instagram if you’ve worked with someone awesome.

• I’m also focusing on this Empower Her community and reflecting on how I can really give value, care, and support.

• Physical Health: I have made the goal to strength train three times per week. On opposite days I will get out for a walk or use my treadmill. I feel so much better when I limit sugar and dairy, so I will keep an eye on that too.
• Mental Health: This is the year that I prioritize fun! I’m not great at relaxing so I signed up for a lettering workshop with Lovely Little Lights to make a commitment. I’m going to journal more regularly and make meditation part of my routine.
• Spiritual Health: My faith is super important to me. I am part of a mentoring program at my church and I’d like to attend a women’s bible study or something similar.
• Financial Health: This year I’m working on keeping a personal budget. I’m already learning so much with Val Marlene Creative’s Creative Income Cure course. I want to grow in leadership and will challenge myself to grow and develop my speaking skills.
