2024 - A Year in Review - Learning from All We Experienced
As the primary care partner of a parent with dementia, 2024 has been anything but easy. Amidst all the challenges, it’s imperative to intersperse as many joys as possible, and I’m continually inspired by the grace, resilience, collaboration, thoughtfulness, creativity and emphasis on self-care shared by my squad as well as the community around me. As we continue to find healing and joy through music, sports, spa days, physical activity, travel and time with friends, let’s celebrate those who’ve stepped up and the many ways in which we’ve all grown throughout this year. Life is a constant rollercoaster ride!

We’ve learned many productivity tips and hacks throughout the joys and challenges of this year:
🏃🏻♂️ Stick with realistic expectations alongside habits that make us better.
🗓 Align our investment of time, energy and focus with our values.
🧘🏻♀️ Offer grace to ourselves as we hopefully do to those around us.
👩🏻💻 Always work to be flexible.
📲 Create synergy with others to uplevel desired results.
👩🏻🤝👨🏾 Embrace diversity.
🗒️ Lean into work-life integration as the various elements of life complement each other.
From sports to advocacy work, supporting non-profits to quality time with friends, public speaking and consulting clients to lots of great music as well as trips to Atlanta, DC, Jackson Hole and all across North Carolina, 2024 was a very full year. As exemplified in this summary video, focusing on work-life integration boosts productivity for what matters at work, at home, in society and in bettering our minds, bodies and spirits. We must remember that teamwork proves repeatedly how “together, everyone achieves more”.
