Hi associates! Happy Monday and HAPPY NEW YEAR! *throws confetti into the air* I’m again and feeling refreshed after a while with the fam. We acquired along with associates, watched motion pictures, loved some lady time (pedicures, boba teas, purchasing, baking), and are again within the swing of issues this week. I hope you had an exquisite blurry week between Christmas and New Years, and hope you had a protected and completely satisfied New Years’ celebration.

For at the moment’s put up, I assumed it will be an excellent time to look again on the 12 months, assess how I did with my targets, and set some targets for 2023.
I are inclined to have combined emotions about resolutions. I’m the kind of one who typically thinks, “If you want to change something, change it now, instead of waiting for the pressure of a looming date or holiday,” however on the identical time, there’s one thing thrilling and motivating a couple of vibrant, shiny, new 12 months.
I make modifications and set targets all year long, however that is the time that I often set massive enterprise and monetary targets, well being and private targets, and brainstorm a theme for the 12 months: a mantra I can bear in mind when issues really feel difficult or robust. My mantra for this 12 months is “gratitude.” Having a day by day gratitude follow has made a huge impact in my temper and mindset.
Here’s a lil recap of what went down in 2022.
Looking again on 2022 and my targets for 2023
I’m SO grateful that we had been capable of journey extra this 12 months! We went to a few of our favourite locations, like Mt. Lemmon, Great Wolf Lodge (a number of occasions), San Diego, Disneyland, San Diego once more, and Vegas, and in addition traveled to some new locations, like exploring Waikiki as a household. Hawaii ended up being my journey spotlight of the 12 months, and the ladies agree; they’re already asking to return.
The Pilot took command of one other one of many squadrons right here. While his workload has been busy, I’m so pleased with him and the kind of chief he’s. We’ve had much more squadron occasions and navy enjoyable over the previous 12 months.
Professionally, I launched Total Body Reset with Mia, stored creating Fit Team content material for my superb members, ending my Integrative Health Practitioner certification, began teaching extra 1:1 purchasers (digital and in-person), and it was my highest affiliate revenue 12 months so far. I solely accomplice with a brilliant small quantity of firms, and I like spreading the phrase about their superb merchandise.
I did some formal enterprise teaching this 12 months with Dan and Nicole Culver, attended a JillFit mastermind (Jill was my coach all 12 months final 12 months!), and am trying ahead to masterminding with another associates on this area.
Beautycounter was an space that noticed a little bit of a slip in 2022. I didn’t have as a lot time to dedicate to it as traditional, and it’s certainly one of my targets to proceed to develop my Beautycounter enterprise. It’s an unbelievable firm doing nice issues, and I’m lucky to have some associates on my Beautycounter staff, too!
Health-wise, it’s been an excellent 12 months (knock on wooden) and I really feel like I hit my stride with among the issues I’ve been engaged on. I drastically reduce alcohol consumption – you’ll be able to learn extra about my journey right here! – and have been strolling Maisey day by day. It’s achieved wonders for my psychological well being and I don’t have to consider hitting 10k steps every day. It occurs fairly simply with a exercise + a day by day stroll with Mazer.
I’m nonetheless doing my traditional Fit Team exercises, educating barre, and taking lessons, like scorching yoga, F45, barre, Sculpt Society, and hopping on the Peloton once in a while. I’ve been according to meditation, journaling on my PEMF Go Mat, and getting stable sleep at evening.
Personally, I proceed to be pleased about our family and friends right here in Tucson. We have our tribe of mum or dad associates, the children have their unbelievable finest buddies, and I joined a Bible research final summer time that has modified my life. I grew up Catholic, however have by no means studied the Bible on this capability, and am so blessed to have a bunch of insightful, smart, encouraging, and sort women in my nook.
This can also be the 12 months that I actually really feel like I discovered some steadiness and a few respiration room with our routine. I began taking 1-2 days off every week, and began reserving little open blocks or enjoyable issues to stay up for, like a hike with a good friend or a date evening with the Pilot.
It can really feel such as you’re in an limitless slog of labor, baby wrangling and chores, particularly should you solo mum or dad for days/weeks/months at a time, and doing this has elevated my happiness and productiveness. Our babysitter began coming over the weekend, only for three hours, and it’s been a lifesaver to get forward on content material and backend weblog work for the upcoming week.
Some of my targets for 2023:
Continue to put up content material right here, on Instagram, and TikTok
I’m not going wherever right here on the weblog, and have so many concepts for posts this 12 months (and extra, because of your survey responses!). I additionally get pleasure from creating brief video content material, so I’ll nonetheless be posting on IG, and begin to put up extra regularly on TikTok. I fought the platform for therefore lengthy, however I do know that’s the place individuals are hanging out, and I like that it’s much less curated than IG.
Finish my IHP Level 2 certification!
I’m completely loving the certification course of and am so excited to have the ability to run the massive 5 labs for purchasers, associates, and relations (and myself!).
If you’re seeking to discover your well being passions or begin a brand new profession, I extremely suggest the IHP program. You can take a look at this put up about my expertise thus far.
Grow the Fit Team group and launch a bunch teaching program with practical lab testing
I need to proceed to construct Fit Team – the group is all the things and the exercises are fiiiiiire – and launch a bunch program centered on well being foundations, together with non-obligatory practical lab testing as soon as I end IHP2. If you’re inquisitive about receiving the information first, hop on the wait record right here.
Submit one other guide proposal
Each time I’ve write a guide, I’m like, “WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?” however I’ve so many concepts for this new idea. I’ve been chatting with an editor to craft the right title and perspective for this one, so we’ll see the way it goes.
Take the crew to Europe
We are beginning to plan this for summer time 2023! The youngsters are PUMPED. A visit to Disneyland Paris is on the books, together with Rome and (hopefully!) Madrid.
Finally rip out the dang upstairs carpet
I’m fairly positive I’ve stated this for 2 years nevertheless it’s occurring, even when it’s me and a field shredder. I can’t stand it anymore lol.
Keep it up with the podcast
I used to be speaking with a weblog good friend and he or she did some digging on my podcast, and informed me it’s within the high 0.5% globally of all podcasts. And then she laughed at me as a result of I’m fairly informal about the entire thing. I put up when I’ve content material – I purpose for weekly, nevertheless it doesn’t all the time occur – typically neglect to share it on IG tales, edit it myself, and many others. So this was a enjoyable push to maintain at it, and discover extra potential with the podcast. I’ve lined up my first sponsors for the 12 months, too!
Continue to make studying a spotlight
I’m writing the nice guide recap proper now (it will likely be reside tomorrow!), nevertheless it’s trying like I learn round 24 books this 12 months. It was beneath my purpose of three monthly, as a result of I spent some guide time finding out for IHP. My purpose continues to be no less than three books monthly for 2023. Reading is one thing I genuinely get pleasure from, so it’s good motivation to put aside time for studying every day, even when it’s only for quarter-hour till I crash out.
Get again into singing…or one thing
Our symphony had a season this 12 months, they invited everybody again to the choir, and we needed to re-audition for our spots. I realized Beethoven’s ninth, in German, went in and acquired my spot again, after which realized a number of days later that I wouldn’t be capable of take part for private causes. I’m hoping I’ll be capable of return subsequent 12 months, as a result of I actually miss it, however on the identical time, it’s been so lengthy that I can’t assist however surprise if it is a signal to do one thing else. I’m simply on the lookout for one thing to fill my musical/inventive cup, like singing, piano, or dancing, so right here’s hoping there’s a few of that in 2023.
Continue to work to be a extra affected person, joyful, and loving mother and spouse, aka my most essential purpose
I would like the individuals in my life to understand how a lot I genuinely love them unconditionally, and whereas I do know this in my coronary heart, it’s essential to indicate them. I remind myself to be extra current, affected person, and benefit from the individuals round me as a lot as I can. I get pleasure from our infants a lot, and being their mother is my favourite factor in the entire world. It’s my objective for them to really feel that as a lot as attainable <3
