68: How To Rebound From A Tough Year

WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk

It's that time of year when everyone shares how great their life is…

• Their vacations
• Their increased wealth
• Their VIP experiences with Beyonce and Taylor Swift, BLAH BLAH BLAH

It can be overwhelming and, let’s be real, annoying. *eye roll*
Because not everyone had a great year, which may include you, many people had a rough 2023.

Here are some actual #facts from this past year:

1. Dr. Murthy, the US Surgeon General, shared loneliness is the #1 epidemic in our country. This makes sense, especially after COVID and living in a life where we all use our screens to drug ourselves from reality
2. What’s happening in the world right now
3. Going through an inflation

What I’ve heard from a lot of you is -- WTF?!

• Elaine, WTF!? I got laid off…
• Elaine, WTF!? My company just laid off a bunch of people, and now I’m doing 3 people’s jobs completely overwhelmed
• Elaine, WTF!? I am no longer with this business machine I created.

In all transparency, I had a great year. But last year, 2022, was a complete shit year for me. I lost my grandma, and my partner lost his dad.

Despite last year being hard, I learned to honor that season of pause and healing.

In this podcast episode, I share 5 tips on rebounding from a tough year, whether you had one this year or one you might have in the future.
What We Cover in This Episode:

• The importance of seasons of winter - the pausing and healing
• How to embrace and honor this time
• What I’ve done when things are hard
