A Thank You and a Look Back 🎁

Hello!

It’s Christmas Day!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a warm and heartfelt Happy Christmas to all our lovely readers and podcast listeners. One of my favourite carol lines feels even more appropriate than ever (if that’s possible). “A Weary World Rejoices” is a Christmas reminder of a Peace and Hope beyond our circumstances. 

I also wanted to take the chance to say a big thank you to all our wonderful clients, listeners and readers. This year has had some wonderful moments and we have so much to be grateful for. 

Here’s my top 5 things to be grateful for at work this year (on top of you all, of course)

•  A fantastic team that give their all and really care about what we do

•  The re-filming and total updating of The Purpose Pursuit™ (now also trademarked!)

•  The launch of the podcast (can’t believe that was this year!)

•  Our very-first viral reel (watch it here)

•  Something I can’t yet tell you about - I promise I will next year

Anyone else love getting their Spotify Wrapped, or their Apple Replay? Or is your algorithm skewed by having to play your toddler’s favourite tunes? I think mine will be wildly distorted by the amount of focus music I listen to to help me get stuff done!

We thought we’d do our own version of this for The Purpose Pursuit podcast, to give you the chance to catch up on any best episodes that you might not have had the chance to listen to (or watch - did you know we were on YouTube, too?) So, here’s the top 5 episodes of 2024 in case you’d like to listen in on a quiet day over Christmas: 

Our Top 5 Pods:

1. Life lessons from our marriage

2. Tough Conversations (Giving critical feedback) 

3. Parenting and supporting parents 

4. People pleasing 

5. When you need a fresh start 

I’ve got two more things to say. 

The first is a huge public thank you Zo. Zo moves on from the team this week. We are so sad to see Zo go, but we know it is the right thing for her to step into the next season. She has brought focus, big dreams, future thinking, kindness, singing, peace and joy to the team. My heart is sad, but it’s time for the next adventure for Zo. We love you, Zo!

The second is to say that you might be feeling like Zo, ready for the next season. You just might not yet know what that is. If you’d like some support as you figure this out, then I would love to help you. The Purpose Pursuit™ starts again in January and there’s no time better than a new year to get a new focus. We’re not in the business of quick fixes or fluffy promises. We are here to give you our full attention, support and the tools you need over the six weeks of the course. You will gain confidence, clarity and courage. If you’d like to find out more, then join the waitlist. 

Also, if it’s not you, but you know someone who is in the situation, this is the nudge you need to forward this email. Let them know there’s help and support out there. 

So, all that’s left to say is that I wish you all a very happy Christmas, and a wonderful New Year. I’ll be back next year (!) to support you all as you work towards a life filled with purpose.
