Happy 2025! I hope you enjoyed celebrating last night, early night or night out! 🥂
I’m continuing my series of monthly check-ins to see how solopreneur and therapy work is going…
What is going well, what's not going so well, and what I'm doing about it!
Borrowing my first check-in prompt from my actual therapy sessions...
How are you?
I’m good! I’m feeling positive about 2025 🥳 Easing into the new year, spending time with my family; plans include bowling on the Nintendo Switch with my daughter while the storm rages outside! 🎳
What are your wins this month?
I collaborated with the one and only
on Hype Yourself! I found Lucy as soon as I joined Substack in the summer and I loved her cheerleading and accessible PR information. I posted my Deep-Dive: Letter at the end of November and Lucy got in touch about cooking up my own PR Recipe for Twixtmas - I could not have typed yes faster! 😅 It’s been brilliant to connect with new people following publication on Sunday, and a happy hello to all my new subscribers! I’m very happy to have you here 💗 Here is the post:Becoming crystal clear on my niche has been a game-changer for me. I know who I am talking to and what I want to say. After months of circular motion it’s been liberating to promote my services and share my new website confidently!
I visited my 97 year old grandmother over Christmas. I feel so blessed to have her here, and the bond she has with my daughter is heart-warming! She lives independently, she loves a cup of tea, and there is always a new story to hear 🥰
✨ Bonus win: I updated my About Page for this publication!
What has not gone so well this month?
I was unwell for most of December - so many of us were dropping like flies. Roll on spring time! 💐
Overwhelm’o’meter rating: 2/10 - all is well.
How are you going to approach 2025?
With courage! At times during 2024, I felt paralysed about which way to turn and what to try next; there was so much external noise! “Do this, don’t do that, do that again, stop!” Exhausting. I am going to turn inwards this year and follow my intuition.
I am really proud of myself for seeking a solution which I can run with this year. I am going to trust myself to choose aligned action which works for me (and my nervous system!)
What are you looking forward to in 2025?
Going on holiday with my friends to Italy (an early celebration for our 40th birthdays!)
Enjoying family life with my husband and daughter
Starting my new Substack series: Past to Possibility 👀 stay tuned!
