21 Things We Learned in 2021: Reflecting, Lessons and Personal Growth

12/31/21 • 69 min

As 2021 comes to a close, we wanted to sit down and reflect on everything the year entailed. Through good times and hard times, we share lessons we’ve learned.

We switch up our weekly ‘Peak of the Week’ segment for a ‘Peak of the Year’ moment, celebrating our highs and a bunch of yours! We are so proud of you guys and all your growth this year.

We both dove deep into 10 lessons that we've learned this year and saved #21 as a lesson the podcast learned together. It was a really fun episode to put together and we hope you can apply some of these realizations into your own life! Wishing you the best year yet.

Our Goal Setting Process for 2022 + Sharing Our Goals

We all know that January is a great time to reflect and reset after the holidays. While there can be a lot of pressure around feeling the need to “rebrand” yourself and set the stakes high, we want to encourage you to find what works for you. We share our goal-setting process and what has helped us turn our wishes into tangible plans. Through our journey as young adults, we’ve both aimed too high and aimed too low. Ideally, you want to reach enough out of your comfort zone to soar, but not so high that you can’t sustain the process and end up calling it quits.

If you’re interested in sharing your goals with a community that can help hold you accountable, join our Patreon group. Later this month, we will be hosting a remote Goal Setting Workshop with all the members and we’ll host a follow-up event in six months to check in with everyone’s journey.
