We acquired along with associates, watched motion pictures, loved some woman time (pedicures, boba teas, purchasing, baking), and are again within the swing of issues this week. I hope you had a beautiful blurry week between Christmas and New Years, and hope you had a protected and blissful New Years’ celebration.

For at the moment’s submit, I believed it could be a great time to look again on the 12 months, assess how I did with my objectives, and set some objectives for 2023.
I are likely to have combined emotions about resolutions. I’m the kind of one that typically thinks, “If you wish to change one thing, change it now, as a substitute of ready for the stress of a looming date or vacation,” however on the similar time, there’s one thing thrilling and motivating a few vibrant, shiny, new 12 months.
I make adjustments and set objectives all year long, however that is the time that I often set large enterprise and monetary objectives, well being and private objectives, and brainstorm a theme for the 12 months: a mantra I can take into accout when issues really feel difficult or powerful. My mantra for this 12 months is “gratitude.” Having a each day gratitude apply has made a huge impact in my temper and mindset.
Right here’s a lil recap of what went down in 2022.
Wanting again on 2022 and my objectives 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, Nice Wolf Lodge (just a few instances), San Diego, Disneyland, San Diego again, and Vegas, and likewise traveled to some new locations, like exploring Waikiki as a family. Hawaii ended up being my journey spotlight of the 12 months, and the women agree; they’re already asking to return.
The Pilot took command of one other one of many squadrons right here. Whereas 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 army enjoyable over the previous 12 months.
Professionally, I launched Total Body Reset with Mia, saved creating Fit Team content material for my wonderful members, ending my Integrative Health Practitioner certification, began teaching extra 1:1 shoppers (digital and in-person), and it was my highest affiliate earnings 12 months up to now. I solely companion with a brilliant small quantity of corporations, and I like spreading the phrase about their wonderful 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 house.
Beautycounter was an space that noticed a little bit of a slip in 2022. I didn’t have as a lot time to commit to it as regular, and it’s certainly one of my objectives to proceed to develop my Beautycounter enterprise. It’s an unimaginable firm doing nice issues, and I’m lucky to have some associates on my Beautycounter staff, too!
Well being-wise, it’s been a great 12 months (knock on wooden) and I really feel like I hit my stride with a few of the issues I’ve been engaged on. I drastically in the reduction of alcohol consumption – you can read more about my journey here! – and have been strolling Maisey each day. It’s finished 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 each day stroll with Mazer.
I’m nonetheless doing my regular Match Workforce exercises, instructing barre, and taking lessons, like sizzling yoga, F45, barre, Sculpt Society, and hopping on the Peloton every now and then. I’ve been in keeping with meditation, journaling on my PEMF Go Mat, and getting strong sleep at evening.
Personally, I proceed to be grateful for our family and friends right here in Tucson. Now we have our tribe of guardian associates, the children have their unimaginable finest buddies, and I joined a Bible examine final summer season 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 gaggle of insightful, smart, encouraging, and sort girls in my nook.
That is additionally the 12 months that I really really feel like I discovered some stability 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 sit up for, like a hike with a buddy or a date evening with the Pilot.
It could possibly really feel such as you’re in an limitless slog of labor, baby wrangling and chores, particularly in case you solo guardian 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.
A few of my objectives for 2023:
Proceed to submit content material right here, on Instagram, and TikTok
I’m not going anyplace right here on the weblog, and have so many concepts for posts this 12 months (and extra, due to your survey responses!). I additionally get pleasure from creating brief video content material, so I’ll nonetheless be posting on IG, and begin to submit extra ceaselessly 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.
End my IHP Stage 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 shoppers, associates, and members of the family (and myself!).

When you’re interested by receiving the data first, hop on the wait list here.
Submit one other ebook proposal
Every time I’ve write a ebook, 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 proper title and perspective for this one, so we’ll see the way it goes.
Take the crew to Europe
We’re beginning to plan this for summer season 2023! The youngsters are PUMPED. A visit to Disneyland Paris is on the books, together with Rome and (hopefully!) Madrid.
Lastly rip out the dang upstairs carpet
I’m fairly certain 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.
Stick with it with the podcast
I used to be speaking with a weblog buddy and he or she did some digging on my podcast, and advised me it’s within the high 0.5% globally of all podcasts. After which she laughed at me as a result of I’m fairly informal about the entire thing. I submit when I’ve content material – I goal for weekly, nevertheless it doesn’t all the time occur – typically neglect to share it on IG tales, edit it myself, and so forth. 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!
Proceed to make studying a spotlight
I’m writing the good ebook recap proper now (will probably be reside tomorrow!), nevertheless it’s trying like I learn round 24 books this 12 months. It was beneath my aim of three per thirty days, as a result of I spent some ebook time learning for IHP. My aim remains to be at the very least three books per thirty days for 2023. Studying 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 just a few days later that I wouldn’t be capable to take part for private causes. I’m hoping I’ll be capable to return subsequent 12 months, as a result of I actually miss it, however on the similar time, it’s been so lengthy that I can’t assist however marvel if this can be a signal to do one thing else. I’m simply searching for one thing to fill my musical/artistic cup, like singing, piano, or dancing, so right here’s hoping there’s a few of that in 2023.
Proceed to work to be a extra affected person, joyful, and loving mother and spouse, aka my most vital aim
I need 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 vital 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 goal for them to really feel that as a lot as doable <3
