If I had to use one emoji to describe the theme of my January, it would be the “I don’t know” emoji. There were a lot of unexpected changes that came with the start of the year, which brought along with it a plethora of unknowns…

Last week I had so much fun leading multiple workshops on 2023 intention and goal setting. This coming week we’ll be moving onto the part of the process that is stepping into that vision…
