Hot Take: WHAT THE HELL, HOW IS IT ALREADY 2023?!? This year, my focus phrase is: "Show up for ME" so, here I am, showing up for this podcast, getting uncomfy and sharing some vulnerable stuuuuufff today. 

I'm doing a live autopsy on my 2022 year, what does that mean? Well, we do autopsies on the deceased to figure out what caused death, but why don't we do it before we get to that stage? What I mean is self reflection... getting real with ourselves with what's going right, what's going wrong, what we want more of, what we want less of, etc. So that's what I've been focusing on this past week. I encourage y'all to dig deep within yourselves to figure it out for yourself too! Part of that autopsy is looking at lessons learned/takeaways from experiences you've had. So, here are some of mine from the past 365 days:

1 -Evolving is HARD

2- Just because you didn’t achieve the goals you wrote down at the beginning of 2022

doesn’t mean 2022 was a waste

3- relationships take EFFORT

4- being home sick is a blessing

5- there are seasons to life, be okay with the transitions

6- life goes FAST, make the most of what you have in front of you

7- its easy to spend money, but be mindful that money can’t buy happiness

8- its important to have friends who call you out

9- finding yourself also means meeting the dark sides of yourself…

10- Don’t get complacent, its easy to get into bad habits and its hard to

correct them after too much time
