It’s been a while since I last posted. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to write. I didn’t know even how to start.
I’ll start with this…pivoting is hard.
Job searching sucks.
and
Entrepreneurship, can be as grueling and unforgiving as it is freeing and fulfilling.
Let’s talk about it.
2024 was filled with unexpected surprises both good and not so good.
I graduated in December of 2023 with my master’s degree. I fully expected to eventually move into a full-time position at the gym. Well, that didn’t happen after not one or two, but three full-time coaches were hired, and I was still PRN. At that point I knew what I had known for a while; it was time to move on from there. So, in August coincidentally the last time I posted a blog I put in my resignation.
In March I went to Denver for a conference. This conference was one I had done the prior year and was familiar with the team I was working with. The conference was great. At the end, someone who would become pretty special met me out there for the weekend.
Most of this year was spent traveling and I have loved it so much. From Denver to Atlanta and surprisingly Missouri. One of the best surprises was my return to Missouri. I had no intention of ever going back. I was ok with that, but it seems God has other plans.
I have accomplished so many new things this past year.
I worked in my own company.
I started an Etsy shop.
I completed the first round of edits in my book.
And I applied for job after job hoping to land one.
I had interviews that went amazing and didn’t get the job. I edited and reworded my resume more times than I can count. It felt like a full-time job just searching for one. It’s now January and I still haven’t found a job. I have a couple of clients in my business but, I still have a lot of building to do.
Through it all God is faithful, and He sustains better than any job. I will keep searching and working and building. I get to enjoy sports and be creative in my business. So, if God is going to give me the grace and favor to go after this goal then lets geaux.
Pivoting, I think, isn’t meant to be easy. You don’t find out what you’re made of until you face stuff right? 2021 (Thirty) was a challenging year. 2022 (and) & 2023 (Flirty) also brought its own set of challenges. 2024 (and) was a doozy. I can only imagine what my thriving year will hold.
One of my goals for 2025 is to embrace myself and my accomplishments in a way I never have. I want to not be afraid to stand in the greatness that God has given me.
Part of that means blogging more consistently about all the things I enjoy. You’ll get God, sports/fitness, books and lifestyle. Some heavy topics and some light. I will see you in 2 weeks.
Cheers
