Happy New Year Tiders!

It's that time of year where we turn the page on a new calendar year in the dead of winter. You are likely coming off putting energy into finishing out the last year strong at work while also managing the holidays and for some of you dealing with having the kiddos home for that week between Christmas and New Years. Somewhere amidst all of this we expect ourselves to create resolutions for the new year and put undue pressure on ourselves to have a plan January 1. Is it really that surprising that most resolutions fail?

That's why this year we are disrupting old patterns. Together we will walk through a series of exercises that help you tap into insights from 2023 and how to leverage those to set your vision for the coming year. And it's kicking off with today's episode where we focus on 2023 reflection. On this episode I'll share how to:

  • Capture key highlights and learnings from the last year
  • Identify the themes or through-lines across your life in 2023
  • Share these findings with others
  • Add any catalyst events to your lifeline document

I look forward to jumpstarting the year with you.

p.s. If you are interested in additional support for the exercises here are additional options:

It’s easy to overlook or forget just how far you have come in a quarter, let alone an entire year. Especially if your growth has happened outside your career.

Change can happen so gradually that it’s easy to lose sight of where you started and just how far you’ve come. It’s also easy to lose sight of what you’ve set out to accomplish. You get to the end of the year and when you see those goals and realize you completely neglected to make any progress toward them because other things took priority.

What if you had a recurring space to capture your learnings, accomplishments, and reassess your goals. Not just for work but for your entire life. You set aside time to slow down for a moment and reflect so you can move forward in your career and life with intention and purpose.

On today's episode with co-host Chandra Keel we discuss the power of Quarterly "X" Reviews (QXR) and listeners will walk away knowing:

  • What the heck the "X" stands for
  • How to gain clarity and confidence through regular QXRs
  • What is included in the QXR framework
  • Steps to begin implementing this habit into your routine

If you're ready to claim your growth and move forward with intention you need to hear this episode.

I am also launching a Life on Purpose Cohort this summer centered around community and the QXR framework. More details coming soon. Sign up here to be the first to hear about it

11/02/22 • 55 min

Imagine having a clear vision of yourself in the future. You picture your surroundings and even see a title but important details are missing. You see a corner office with a view but not what you're doing in that office. Or you can read your title that says "President of _______".

These were Psyche Terry's directional goals. Starting in college, Psyche had big ambitions but what and how she would bring them to bear was unclear. Until one day while working for a non-profit making gift baskets things began to take shape.

Today Psyche Terry is the Founder of UI Brands. Their signature brand Urban Hydration is sold in over 35,000 stores worldwide including top retailers like Ulta, Target, and JCPenney to name a few. The journey to success has not always been an easy one. On today's episode, Psyche shares:

  • How "stepping on skinny branches" fueled her early entrepreneur days
  • Navigating fear so it does not control your decisions
  • Learning from all experiences, especially the failures
  • And much more

Psyche is credited by Drug Store News as a Leading Woman in Beauty. She won America's Most Beautiful Mrs. Texas in 2022. With quadruple digit growth over the last 3 years, her brand, Urban Hydration, was the #1 fastest growing face cleaner in the industry according to Neilson & Inc 5000 as fastest growing Small Business in America. Named Women to watch, Rising Star, Influencer of the year, Trend Spotter, & Philanthropist.
