Good day my friends. Welcome.

0:24

good day. Welcome

0:26

Hi Colleen.

0:28

Hi,

0:29

All right, you guys we're winging this

0:31

shit today 'cause life happens and

0:33

we were gonna have a lovely guest on today that we're

0:36

so excited to have on. But

0:38

Oh my God, I am

0:38

two hour marketing meeting, So

0:41

here we are,

0:42

I.

0:42

rescheduling

0:45

And you know what's so funny is like the guest,

0:48

this amazing guest that we're gonna have talks

0:50

about, like women and entrepreneurs

0:52

and burnout and like all

0:55

the overscheduling and all of the things that

0:58

I am basically doing. So

1:01

it would've been helpful, but such is

1:03

life.

1:05

Do as I say, not as I do. That

1:07

is, that is the, the moral

1:09

of the story. So this is a

1:12

very quick episode between Christmas and

1:14

New Year's is when this is gonna come out. And

1:16

so we thought we would talk to you guys today about,

1:19

a recap of how 2023 went for us and

1:22

a look forward of what's to come in 2024

1:25

for us personally, us and

1:27

our businesses, our podcasts.

1:29

Like what's to come.

1:30

Yeah.

1:31

But first I was just telling Colleen

1:33

right before we jumped on, I did EMDR

1:36

yesterday and she said, what

1:38

the fuck is that? So eye movement

1:41

desensitization and reprocessing.

1:44

It's a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed

1:46

to alleviate distress associated with I

1:48

think trauma. Um,

1:52

and it was,

1:55

it was. I really, I've

1:57

heard people say it's like the most effective therapy

1:59

they've ever had. Now I've been in therapy for

2:01

like a long

2:04

time. I've done hypnotherapy, I've done regular

2:06

therapy. I've done like meditation.

2:08

I'm this little self-help guru. Maybe you've

2:10

picked up by now. And

2:14

I went in with like this thing

2:17

that I'm like, I need help with this. Like, I

2:19

need to stop having these thoughts over

2:21

here. And so she's like, okay,

2:23

let's give it a go. Like we talked a little bit before to

2:25

try and like set up the, the way it was gonna

2:27

go, and get

2:30

relaxed. Close my eyes. You hold these like

2:32

things in each hand. There's like a vibrating

2:34

thing in each hand, and the vibration moves back and forth between

2:37

Your two hands, but you're like in a very relaxed

2:39

state, kind of like hypnotherapy and

2:42

then you like she kind

2:44

of guides you. You're like responding and talking. She's like,

2:46

what images are coming up? What feelings are coming

2:48

up? Like, what memory are you having Man?

2:51

I did not anticipate where

2:53

that was gonna go. I was

2:55

sobbing, like crying so

2:58

hard and it was like

3:00

this thought I keep having that I need to like reprogram

3:02

over here is like. Rooted

3:06

in something I had no idea would be related to.

3:10

So it was interesting, it

3:12

was heavy. I, maybe TBD,

3:15

she said some people feel like relief

3:17

very quickly and some people it's

3:20

like, maybe it's gonna bring up new

3:23

like responses or like,

3:25

kind of like now you're gonna

3:27

have be triggered by something different. And

3:29

then we just come back and we work through that and

3:31

like continue. She's like, think of it as like you

3:33

have this one thing that happens and then there's a rope

3:36

and every time something happens, there's like a knot

3:38

in the rope and it's like if

3:40

something feels similar to what,

3:42

like the chaos that I feel in my house with my

3:45

kids when they're like being developmentally

3:47

appropriate, that

3:49

triggers it like a fear chaos, like outta

3:51

control response that I have from

3:54

The circumstances that I had when I was a child, that

3:56

as a kid. So then I start to like feel

3:58

nervous and your brain trying to protect you is

4:01

like, okay, this is happening. You need

4:03

to have a big response to protect yourself from

4:05

this. But if you can, like untie those knots

4:08

and so you're not just like on this long rope

4:10

of like, yes, see, see, see.

4:12

Like all this reinforcement of that

4:14

behavior was necessary. Then you

4:17

can kind of like reprocess it. And so

4:20

really just very interesting. And

4:23

TBD we will yesterday

4:26

just felt wiped out. You

4:28

know, like crying is exhausting and

4:31

anytime you do any kind of

4:34

yeah, it just was a lot. So.

4:36

it's a lot that's, it's very physically

4:38

demanding when you're doing

4:39

Yeah, and then I call Alex after and

4:42

I'm like, oh my God, I

4:44

had no idea. And he's like, okay,

4:46

so I'm at work and I really want to know

4:48

more about this. And

4:51

I was like, you have to do this. You really need

4:53

to do this. And he's like, yeah, it

4:55

sounds really appealing right now. Let's talk

4:57

more about that later. you're

5:00

crying. Why would I wanna do this?

5:03

Our poor are specifically

5:05

your mine. I don't know about other people like

5:07

our poor husbands that

5:09

have to deal with us like

5:12

midday. Like I don't know how many times I called

5:15

my husband midday and

5:17

I'm just like, blah, blah,

5:20

blah. This happened and I'm so angry, or I'm

5:22

so sad, or I'm so blah, blah, blah. And he's like, oh,

5:25

okay. I

5:27

am in the middle of. And,

5:32

And, then I get angry

5:33

so am I

5:37

Oh, my gosh. Okay, well, I let's

5:40

TBD on that, like

5:41

Yeah. Well, and I think that brings me to like 2023,

5:44

kind of a look back. I have invested

5:46

a lot in myself this year as

5:49

far as like therapy,

5:52

hypnotherapy growth,

5:54

traveling. For myself

5:57

and for my career and the things that I want,

6:00

and I, I feel like, you

6:03

know, you guys have all heard me reference this, but from 2016

6:06

to 2022, I was pregnant or breastfeeding

6:08

constantly. There was

6:10

never a break in that time. So when

6:13

I would travel in that time, because I was

6:15

still in a corporate job and I was required to travel

6:17

a couple times a year, it was very, very

6:20

stressful to travel. I was like packing

6:22

the breast pump or like away from the baby for

6:24

the first time or uncomfortable and really

6:27

pregnant and Nervous about a

6:29

number of things with a high risk pregnancy. So it was just

6:31

like, I mean, how many years is that? 2016

6:33

to 2022. That's a six years. Six

6:36

years of like nonstop. And

6:39

now 2023. I'm

6:41

untethered. I have, I

6:44

mean, I still have my family. I wanna be here with them. I have, you

6:46

know, obviously I have responsibilities here, but I

6:49

can travel, I can go and

6:51

I did this year. And

6:54

Alex stepped up much to his dismay,

6:58

know, he's, he doesn't like it when I'm

7:00

gone for a number of reasons. It's harder,

7:03

although I really do set him up. Let

7:05

me be fair. I set him up. I usually have my

7:07

mother-in-Law, his mom come, we have the au

7:09

pair, like we put it together. So it's

7:11

not hard for him, but he still misses me

7:13

and the kids miss me and like, I

7:16

don't answer the phone a lot. When I'm gone. I'm

7:18

busy, you know? And. So

7:21

he doesn't like that, but he's

7:24

also supportive of me, like getting out, thankfully.

7:27

And I, I mean, let's be clear, like I wouldn't

7:29

have a partner. That's not because that's

7:31

important to me. That's a value that I

7:33

have. And, in these traveling,

7:35

like the San Diego trip, or I

7:37

just went to Philly and

7:40

like just the friendships from

7:42

2023 were remarkable.

7:45

Yeah.

7:45

Started a new Bunco group in 2023.

7:48

That was like the highlight of the year. Our

7:50

Compass mom collective group, or

7:52

now mom, collective we may

7:54

need to rebrand. You know, like really

7:56

incredible friendships in that group. And

7:58

just like people, women

8:00

that like are gonna fix your crown and

8:03

not tell the world that it was crooked it.

8:05

And like people that are gonna say your name in

8:07

a room full of opportunities. And

8:10

that's what this group, these groups that

8:12

I've been in, like it's really. Just,

8:15

yeah, just real happy and feeling super

8:18

grateful.

8:19

I just got an email literally

8:21

on my way here. From,

8:23

so I, you know, I have a lot of changes

8:26

in my year and I'll go through my year as well,

8:28

but I changed brokerages, which

8:30

was a big deal for me.

8:32

It's a big deal for a lot of people.

8:33

It was a big deal for a lot of people. It

8:35

was a big, very, very big deal. Emotional

8:38

deal. I'm very happy where I am. But I,

8:40

it was a big deal to leave. It was a big change. But

8:43

one of our friends

8:46

and, and members of our group,

8:49

Amy Pisano, who,

8:51

who like, by the

8:53

way, Amy is

8:55

like the real deal,

8:58

like she is. Like

9:02

a real deal person, friend,

9:05

colleague,

9:05

She shows up.

9:07

she shows up. So

9:09

authentically and passionately and,

9:11

and anyway, anyway, I

9:13

got an email from the director of

9:16

marketing for all of my new

9:18

brokerage, like the head of

9:20

marketing for my entire brokerage,

9:22

which is an international brokerage. The

9:25

agency. And it

9:27

was an email that said, Hey, I

9:29

was just at a luncheon at school and

9:32

I ran into Amy Pisano and she

9:34

just told me that you moved to the agency and

9:36

congratulations and welcome and we're

9:38

so happy to have you and blah, blah, blah. And

9:40

I was just like, I

9:42

literally started

9:46

to cry

9:48

Yeah.

9:48

because that's

9:52

like real. That's

9:55

like real deal, right? Like that is, I

9:58

don't think I've cried on our show, but my

10:00

God. But that is like, that

10:05

is collaboration without ego. That

10:08

is, you know, fixing your

10:10

crown. That is like supporting

10:14

somebody regardless. And

10:16

it was like. So

10:19

kind and like compassionate and

10:22

it, and I sur I

10:24

really like to surround myself with people who are

10:26

that way, but there are so

10:28

many people who are not that

10:31

way. There have been people who will

10:34

not have anything to do with me. Anymore.

10:37

And I'm not even talking locally. I'm talking like

10:39

people I've met nationally who

10:41

are like, well, you're not with this. You're

10:44

not in this group anymore. Then I, then you're

10:46

dead to me. And I'm like, what? What the hell, man?

10:48

like, that's so weird. But

10:52

we have like to

10:55

bring it back like we have created

10:59

such a beautiful Collection

11:03

of women and agents

11:06

and people who are just like, so

11:09

real deal, like, and I'm

11:11

just so grateful for, I mean, you talk

11:13

about the friendships that we made. I mean, we talk about like

11:16

this, like this whole podcast comes

11:18

out of like our

11:21

friendship and our business relationship

11:24

and, you know, meeting

11:26

people who are on your same level.

11:29

Who are just like, you wanna do something? And

11:31

then that person's like, hell yeah, we're doing

11:33

that. like, I

11:36

don't know, man. 2023 was,

11:38

was a wild ride for me

11:41

and in so many amazing ways.

11:44

I also traveled more this year than I have traveled

11:46

in Decades.

11:49

You know, like, I went to

11:51

Paris, I went to Scottsdale.

11:54

I went to New York. I went to

11:57

Florida. I, I went to, yeah, I

11:59

went to 30 A in Florida. I went to

12:02

San Diego. I, I mean, like, I've

12:05

been all over. Country,

12:08

the world this year. And yes,

12:10

David has backed me 1000%

12:13

with that. Like never did he say

12:15

like, are you sure? Can you not go? Or

12:18

whatever. He just said, do

12:20

it. Like, okay, do

12:22

it. And my business has

12:26

grown exponentially in like

12:29

so many ways. You know, in a new business you

12:31

get to see exponential growth. Sometimes

12:35

I'm gonna give myself a little bit of credit here. Like I moved

12:37

here with no, with nothing and nobody, and

12:40

built a business in

12:44

two years that most people don't have ever

12:47

and during like a downturn in the market,

12:50

you know, like the real estate market took a

12:52

40% hit, I think I heard,

12:54

Yeah.

12:54

and you

12:56

I I 10 x my

12:58

sales this year.

12:59

that's because of. Relationships

13:02

and friendships and like I

13:04

know you and I both, it doesn't matter what our endeavor

13:06

is. However, we're gonna create

13:08

an income for our family. It's going to

13:10

be born out of like authenticity and

13:13

like true relationships with people.

13:16

And it's clear that that is what works

13:19

is relationships and

13:21

like being a real true blue person,

13:23

like either one of our social medias.

13:25

If you're on there, you're getting

13:27

the good, the bad, the ugly. You're seeing us. As

13:30

we are on any given day and

13:33

we're bringing it, I mean, certainly there's still some

13:35

elements of highlight reel because you guys don't

13:38

wanna hear all day long the

13:40

shit that's happening. But it's

13:43

like being a genuine and authentic person

13:45

and showing up as you are and

13:48

allowing other people to be themselves and

13:52

fixing their crowns too. Like that

13:54

is the, I mean, that's where it's at.

13:57

So.

13:57

and like also being

14:00

so intentional about who

14:03

you surround yourself with, that is something I

14:05

really worked on in 2023. I

14:07

went to a luncheon yesterday and I was invited

14:09

by this woman who I'm in another bus,

14:13

women National Association of Women Business

14:15

Owners Group. She invited me and

14:18

I, silly stupidly

14:20

assumed it was gonna be all women, and

14:22

I walked into this room and

14:25

it was 90%.

14:30

Old white men, all men over

14:32

the age of 55, all predominantly

14:35

white. And I was like, oh, oh,

14:38

oh, I was so, I

14:40

was so jarred. I was like, how dare you

14:42

invite me to this This is not my people.

14:45

Because I hadn't been in a room like that

14:47

intentionally. I hadn't

14:49

been in a room like that in a long

14:51

time in, in several years because.

14:55

I have worked so hard intentionally to

14:57

support women, to support women owned

14:59

businesses, which is what I was doing. She was giving a

15:02

presentation and

15:04

I learned a lot and it was fine that these men were

15:06

there, but I, it was such an interesting

15:08

perspective of like, what

15:10

are the rooms that I want to be in and what are the rooms that,

15:12

that I've chosen to be in this, in

15:15

this year? And then I walked

15:17

into this one last luncheon of the

15:19

year and I was like. Oh, oh,

15:21

okay. And it was such an odd

15:24

feeling. And

15:27

I was very much reminded why I don't put

15:29

myself in those those things.

15:31

Like, I asked this guy next to me, I was like,

15:33

oh, can you, I was like, can you pass me the water, please?

15:36

And he said, no. And

15:39

I said, and he was like, joking. But I'm

15:41

like, why is that a funny joke? And I was like, okay, great. Well

15:44

then I'm just gonna take it like,

15:46

and he was like, oh, can I just joke with you? I was like,

15:48

yeah, but then I'm gonna joke right back buddy.

15:51

Like, I was like, these are not the environments that I

15:53

want to be in. But anyway, so in

15:55

2023, I was very intentional about

15:59

who, where I was spending my time, who I

16:01

was spending my time with, and

16:04

the endeavors that I wanted to support. I

16:07

think that made a huge difference in my

16:09

business, but also in just who I am and

16:11

my own personal growth. I mean, I think that that

16:13

has been pretty

16:16

amazing and it's not like you need to block

16:18

out like

16:21

echo chamber, but kind of like, I think we

16:24

talked. You guys touched a little bit on

16:26

this when you were talking with the hypnotherapist

16:29

about like ultra focus, like

16:31

kind of putting your head in the sand, but it's kind of like ultra

16:34

focus, right? Like putting your focus

16:36

on something in such a firm direction

16:39

that you're like, that meme with the kid,

16:41

with the glass spoons over his eyes, it's like I'm blocking

16:43

out my haters. Like that's

16:45

how it, that's how it feels for me

16:47

right now is that I'm just so laser

16:50

focused on These

16:52

goals that I wanna achieve, both like,

16:54

you know, in my career, my personal

16:57

life, physically, mentally, emotionally

16:59

with my family that like

17:03

I'm just moving in the right direction.

17:06

And it's

17:08

a really interesting feeling. 'cause I thought that I would feel

17:10

this way in my twenties or thirties, but

17:15

it wasn't until I could Exactly

17:18

what you're talking about. Kind of untether in,

17:20

in lack of a better term, from

17:23

the everyday physicalness of parenting

17:27

and feel like I achieved those.

17:29

I'm still parenting, but I think you're gonna know what I mean

17:31

when I say this. Like, feel like I've achieved those goals.

17:34

I got married, I had my beautiful children.

17:36

We're raising them. We're actively still doing

17:38

that, but I

17:41

get to really focus on me for

17:43

the first time and put myself at the

17:45

center. For the

17:47

first time and really recognize

17:50

that by

17:53

doing that, I am making myself and my family

17:55

better. Like when you put yourself and

17:58

your, you know, self-care, whatever you wanna

18:00

call it at the center, I'm

18:03

happier. I am. Better

18:06

looking I am healthier.

18:09

I am, you know, like working

18:12

on goals to make myself healthier.

18:15

I am working on goals to make us

18:17

financially more stable. You

18:19

know, I set it quickly like I 10 xd

18:21

my sales from last year to this year.

18:24

I made more money this year than I've ever made as

18:27

an adult and. It's

18:30

because I've worked so hard and

18:32

because I've worked so intentionally, like

18:35

that's, that's what I want

18:37

people to, to, be aware

18:39

of is that I

18:42

am not a hater of hard work. We talked about this, but

18:44

I don't think it has to be hard, hard. I think

18:46

it has to be intentional, and I think you have to be

18:48

persistent, and I think you're

18:50

gonna get your ass kicked and then you have

18:52

to just get up

18:54

Be gotta be resilient.

18:55

And keep going. Right? Like, and

18:58

figuring out very quickly and

19:00

sometimes not so quickly, like, who

19:03

are the people that are, that

19:05

you need and who are the people that, that

19:08

you need to support to kind of

19:11

do that ladder of like pulling each other up.

19:13

Right. I think of that. Have you seen that

19:15

like gif of the women like pulling each other up?

19:18

It's probably my most used jif on Jif

19:21

or gif. I never know, but probably my most used

19:23

one on Instagram is

19:25

that one of like we rise by lifting

19:27

others and I there is.

19:29

So like I'm gonna put my money where my mouth

19:31

is and continue to do that. So this might

19:33

be a good time then to talk about what

19:35

we're gonna do in 2024. We

19:37

are gonna rise by lifting others. And Colleen,

19:41

20:15

20:21

Oh, Kristen Hitch is God,

20:45

I'm so excited about that. She

20:47

20:50

is a c-level

20:52

executive in the marketing world who

20:54

has earned her way to

20:57

big, big things all

20:59

while being a mother, all while handling

21:01

all the things that life kind of throws at

21:04

you and in such a beautiful

21:06

and graceful way. And without

21:09

You know, I, I've watched her kind of grow up, right?

21:11

I've been to both her weddings, I've

21:14

been, you know, seen her kids, her

21:16

girls grow up. I've seen her become a stepmom.

21:18

I've seen all this stuff, but I've

21:20

also seen her business career

21:24

just flourish in the

21:26

most graceful and beautiful way

21:29

that I, I'm just so empowered

21:31

by her. So I'm really excited about sharing

21:34

her with you guys.

21:36

Rebecca Lynn Thomas is

21:38

my invite. So she's a life coach. But

21:41

she left an abusive relationship, took

21:44

her family, her kids away from an abusive

21:46

relationship. So, and then just like is

21:48

thriving with life after trauma. Uh,

21:52

let's see. Leslie Bailey.

21:55

Oh my God. Leslie Bailey. I am, can

21:57

you tell I'm so pumped about all these people. So, Leslie

21:59

Bailey is the CEO founder

22:01

of Indie Maven, which is a

22:03

publication here in Indianapolis that has over

22:06

5,000 subscribers 99%

22:10

women. And she also. A

22:13

year ago created an

22:15

all women's coworking space

22:18

and social club in downtown

22:20

Indianapolis and her

22:23

mission and the things that she's

22:25

doing, I. The way

22:27

that she's creating equity in a, in

22:29

a really beautiful way equity,

22:32

inclusion and diversity and

22:35

the way that she supported me and my business

22:37

has been incredible. And when you meet

22:39

her, she's just like the coolest, like most down to

22:41

earth lady. So I,

22:44

I'm so excited for that.

22:47

After that we have Susie Adamson coming back,

22:49

Yes.

22:49

and I believe, I mean, this is

22:52

Susie. We can talk about anything with Susie, but I think

22:54

we're gonna talk about like adult female friendships. I

22:57

think that was the goal and the goal for the next one,

22:59

we wanna do with her. And then we have Jen Miller, who,

23:02

Jen. Had a baby on her own

23:04

folks, and she's gonna tell us

23:06

all about her journey and her

23:08

path, and I know she's feeling super

23:10

vulnerable about it, but Jen, we love you.

23:12

We're so excited to talk about it. I know

23:14

that your story's important. I was just with another

23:16

friend the other day and she. Is

23:20

like, thought she'd have kids by now and

23:22

she doesn't. And she's like watching

23:25

that window close. And so I think

23:27

it's a really important conversation for women. And

23:29

then we've got Adrian Broadband, I'm

23:31

gonna say that wrong. She's another friend of mine

23:34

who was laid off and

23:37

is now like in the job market and

23:39

it's not pretty out there. So she's gonna kind

23:41

of talk through all of that. So

23:44

there's like our first couple months of guests,

23:46

but then fall of 2024,

23:49

we've got our passion project. We're

23:51

gonna rise by lifting others and

23:54

Yeah. So we want you all to save

23:57

the date for fall. We don't know exactly the

23:59

date yet, but fall of 2024, keep

24:01

it on your radar. We

24:03

are going to be launching the

24:05

first ever we're

24:08

doing this right Women's entrepreneurial

24:10

retreat, and I am calling it, and

24:13

maybe we're gonna name it something different, but

24:16

I am calling it a holistic from

24:18

the, from the true meaning of

24:20

that word, meaning the whole woman. Retreat,

24:23

right? Like, we're gonna talk about business,

24:25

we're gonna have guest speakers coming to

24:27

talk to us about entrepreneurship. We're gonna

24:30

have them come talk to us about you

24:32

know, just like Our bodies, our

24:35

minds, the whole woman. Because how we

24:37

need to be approaching life and

24:39

work and business is by making

24:42

sure that we are I

24:45

don't wanna say balance because we know the balance is not a

24:47

thing, but that we're making sure we're touching all of

24:49

those aspects and we're gonna

24:51

do it ideally like

24:54

Somewhere in the northeast during the

24:56

fall where it's really beautiful and

24:59

there are more details to come. But I

25:02

am just so excited for that. And

25:04

I will say it is not just for female

25:06

entrepreneurs, it's for any, any woman.

25:09

But we will touch on business, we

25:11

will touch on, you know, like entrepreneurship.

25:13

We will talk about careers and

25:16

you know, things like that. So I'm

25:19

just so pumped for that. And that is a big,

25:21

big dream that we Have had

25:24

and to make that happen in

25:26

2024 is pretty incredible.

25:29

It's gonna be awesome. Personally,

25:31

2024. Well, first of all it's 1111

25:33

where I'm recording, so everybody make a wish.

25:35

You're welcome. And so

25:37

I guess that's the perfect time just to like set my

25:39

intentions for 2024. I am

25:43

continuing to work on being like a peaceful

25:45

and calm, safe place for my children.

25:48

That is like, at

25:50

the forefront of my mind is like showing up

25:53

for them how they need me to show up, how I would

25:55

want someone to show up for me. I need to continue

25:59

like Giving my husband the

26:01

attention and our marriage, the attention it

26:03

needs, because I'm so busy working on me and

26:05

doing all this stuff. Sometimes it's easy to forget

26:07

like, oh, I have a partnership at

26:10

home and I want to stay in that partnership.

26:12

So I need

26:13

Yeah.

26:13

lean into that And then

26:15

my career, I mean, I just want to be

26:18

very intentional about relationships,

26:21

friendships, and like filling my

26:23

days with things that fulfill me and bring

26:25

me joy and let let the universe

26:28

pay me for that. You up

26:31

and be who I wanna be. So

26:34

I love that. My intentions

26:36

for 2024 are I.

26:39

Process. I,

26:41

that is my word for 2024.

26:43

And gonna.

26:44

I know you and

26:47

Cheryl are gonna be so pumped for me.

26:50

But I just want to really continue

26:52

to build my business and my life

26:55

in a way that is scalable and

26:57

in a way that is sustainable and

27:00

in a way that is Livable.

27:04

You know, like for so much of, of

27:07

my young adulthood and,

27:09

and adulthood, I felt

27:11

like I was scraping

27:15

and, and like hanging on like tooth

27:17

and nail, right? To just fight

27:20

for every inch of everything

27:22

that I want and have and.

27:27

Never having a plan for that, just

27:30

doing it right. And so now

27:32

I've gotten to a point where like, I'm

27:35

doing it right, like I'm doing

27:38

the thing and now how do

27:40

I maintain this in a way that

27:42

is calm, in a way that is

27:44

sane in a way that is just

27:47

so livable, like.

27:49

Gentle success.

27:50

Gentle success. That's what I, that's

27:52

what I want for 2024 and like exponential

27:56

gentle success, right? Like, I want

27:58

to be really successful in what

28:00

I'm doing and my, and, and

28:02

having the processes to help me do

28:04

that so that I can pay attention and give care

28:06

to my clients, to

28:09

my family to my husband to,

28:12

to you, to the, the,

28:14

to our listeners so that I. Can

28:17

be in a place where I can be intentional

28:21

again, right? But, but so intentional

28:23

about what I'm doing with my time and not worrying

28:26

and not trying to figure so many things out.

28:28

So I think 2024 will be a

28:30

lot of figuring out in putting those processes

28:32

in place. But you

28:35

know, by the end I'll

28:37

be in a place where like. You

28:39

know, you've said to me that Susie said like,

28:41

if you have to do something more than once, then you need a

28:44

process for it. And I

28:46

want that. I want that in my business and I

28:48

want that in my life. And I'm gonna

28:50

do a lot of who not Howing in

28:53

2024. Those are my

28:55

goals.

28:55

Well, you guys, thank you so much for supporting

28:58

Colleen through our new endeavor this year. It's

29:00

been so fun and we cannot wait

29:02
