The promise I made to my family for 2024
So many of us are already thinking about goals we want to set for 2024. My goal is not about doing MORE, but doing LESS.
I have been "grinding and hustling" hard since 2017. That was the year I took my very first Health Coaching course and started on my journey to help others reclaim their wellness.
Since 2017 I have enrolled in a "big" course or program EVERY YEAR.
2017- ACE Health Coach
2018- Precision Nutrition & ACE Behavior Change Specialist
2019-2020: Functional Medicine Coaching Academy & HeartMath
2021- Sat for my National Board certification, did Business coaching & ACE Behavior Change Advanced Applications & Mentorship
2022- Nutrition Coaching Institute
2023- Functional Nutrition Alliance & Business Coaching
And in between all of these BIG courses, I have done mini courses.
When I sat down and added up the time and money I have invested in these courses I felt physically ill. I immediately thought about the family vacations we could have taken, the bills we could have paid off, or the money that would now be in our savings account and an extreme amount of guilt came over me. Not even just the money invested(because it was an investment), but the time that I have spent on this which has left little time with family and friends and actually enjoying life.
I do NOT regret any of these courses. The education I have received has been life changing to say the least, and more valuable than that are the close friendships I have built with some amazing ladies in these groups.
However I need a break. I am going to take a breath in 2024 and reevaluate my route forward.
I have promised my family(and a friend who will keep me accountable) that I am not going to be enrolling in ANY big courses or trainings in 2024. I literally have more content than my brain can hold right now.
I have a deep, visceral pull to help others reclaim their health and wellness, and in order to serve you better I need to pour back into a few areas of my life that have been severely neglected for the last few years.
I am NOT quitting. I am NOT giving up. I have learned a TON about what doesn't work, now it's time to find what DOES.
And that is going to take some internal reflection which requires time and energy, both of which have been in short supply since 2017.
I hope you will continue to follow me on my journey and please know that I am still committed to my original goal of helping others. But it's going to look a bit different moving forward.
