Goals for 2025✨

In a recent video I made on Instagram, I talked about how I'm not a big resolutions person. For me personally, if I want to do something, I don't need January 1st to tell me to do it.

However this year, I did decide to make a resolution, just for the sheer fact of holding myself accountable. Something I love about the company I work for is that they challenge us in more than just our every day work lives. They aim to provide us with guidance, tools, and education to help us in our personal lives too. We're lucky enough to have our CEO speak to us every Monday, and the first one of the new year was a good one.

We talked about the importance of looking in the mirror and gauging the positives and negatives, so we can progress forward at a steady rate instead experiencing a ton of highs and lows throughout the year. A couple questions they challenged us with were:

1) What are you proud of of 2024?

2) What are you not proud of on 2024?

3) As we reflect on these answers, the biggest key take away should be self awareness.

As a new mom of two, I found 2024 to be my hardest year yet. Figuring out my groove as a working mom of TWO and growing in my career was something I didn't think would be as hard as it was. It's no joke when I say my husband kept me afloat. When reflecting and answering those questions above myself, I found my biggest struggle to be reliability.

Now before you go throwing stones, it's probably not for the reasons you may think. I always fulfilled what I said I was going to do, but not in the timeframe I wanted to as often as I feel like I should have. This is a two part fault of my own. 1) Not communicating time frames better and 2) underestimating how much I had on my plate, thinking it would take me much less time than it actually did.

When all guns started pointing to me as I was navigating a schedule of two littles, I lost myself a bit. I very much got caught up in trying to please everyone, without taking into account what was really on my plate. When reflecting on 2024, there is a lot I am proud of, but there is also a lot I'm not proud of. The self awareness piece is taking a mental note of the things I'm not proud of, learning, maybe eating that $h!t sandwich, and getting back up and trying again.

That's truly the key to success. You just don't quit.

I take pride in being someone that's there for those close to me — someone you can come to through thick and thin, and who will get it done no matter what. No matter how long it will take and even if it's out of my way. But what I want to grow in 2025 is to communicate better and be consistent with my delivery.

Not gonna lie, that's hard to admit that publicly. Mainly for the fear of being judged or fear of failing. But holding yourself accountable is a great way to achieve the goals you set for yourself.

So I challenge you with this: Write down what you are proud of in 2024, and what you are not proud of in 2024. From me and my family, we wish you the very best 2025 and cheers to more growth in the next 365 ❤️
