734: What Worked and What Sucked in 2023

25:02And I was talking to this woman whose daughter was also in a swimming lesson. And she had been talking with Drew the last two weeks. And she said, it's so fun talking to your husband. He just lights up when he talks about you girls. And I just paused for a minute and reflected of like, we really do light up about our kids. And every night when they go to bed, we're just like, man, they're so awesome. They're so cool. They're so smart. They're so brave. They're so beautiful. Like, I feel like we're very awake to the gift of parenting and the fleeting nature of parenting. And we really find a lot of joy in it.

25:37We find a lot of joy in our children. And so it's just interesting and beautiful to be able to watch your children evolve and grow. And, you know, it's crazy. Like Coco now wants to write out our grocery shopping lists and we do brain quests during breakfast. And, you know, they're just at these stages where they're just developing like lightning speed. And so it's just this constant reminder to like, be awake to it, stay awake to it. You know, as parents were on the same team, let's not battle each other and figure that out. But I do feel like parenting overall was a win this year. And there was just like a lot of joy in parenthood.

26:16And I've had a lot of moments this year where I've just really unpacked, like, how can this process and this thing be joyful? Because it goes so fast and it's only going to go faster. One thing that I love about parented is just like the partnership. It was so fun. One of my team members, Marissa came to stay with us for a few days. We were wrapping up a launch and doing some annual planning and she has one daughter and she was just witnessing the amount of teamwork that goes on between me and Drew every single day with the kids. And it's so funny because I'm so lucky to have a partner who is very, very involved, who takes the brunt of, you know, the housework and planning and different things like that.

26:58But she was just laughing because she's like, you guys are like a delicate dance. Like, you know, we just have the things we do. Like I get the kids up and dressed every morning. He starts breakfast. He makes the lunch. We pack the backpack. I do the hair. I get the socks and shoes on. We load them up into the car. Like there's just this literal dance happening every single day. Bedtime is like a dance where I'm putting Coco to bed. Then I'm meeting Quinn up. then I'm putting Quinn down. Drew's reading to Quinn while I'm reading to Coco. Like it's just this like huge teamwork thing. And I feel really fortunate that I feel like we found a really good groove in parenthood this year.

27:33And that's chalked up as a what worked. So if you are someone who is already parent or you're hoping to become one, or you will become one in the next year, here are a few unsolicited pieces of advice for you. So first do not isolate yourself in the motherhood experience. Whether you are joyful in it or it's feeling really hard, try to find at least one other mom to be there for you, to send out the SOS texts, to ask, is this normal or what should I do? I just think that having community and motherhood is an absolute game changer. And the only other thing I want to say is do your best to enjoy every season, even the hard ones.

28:14The one constant in parenthood is that everything is always changing. It is so fleeting. When things are going amazing, they might turn a little bit and take a turn. And when things are really hard, it's so temporary. Everything about parenthood is so temporary. And so try to stay awake to that and remind yourself of that as you're navigating all of the different seasons that parenthood is going to bring to you. Okay. The next thing that worked is our team rhythm and launching. So it was really interesting because last year was a really like interesting year in the business because I launched my book and launching a book took up so much time and energy and promotion and space.

28:53And so this year felt really easy and really light because we didn't have a book to put out into the world. And so the rhythm of this year felt beautiful. There was this really nice, relaxed ebb and flow doing one launch per quarter that gave us enough time to like optimize and strategize at a restful pace. And then the launching part was so much fun. We had our best ever launches this year for every single launch we did. And I feel like that's not even possible, but it is like we did the best we've ever done with each of my courses, with our affiliate launches. It was just like a chart topping year.

29:30And it was so promising because I feel like there's always a piece of you that you're like, okay, this worked in the past, but is it still going to work? It's still working. That is awesome. So one of the things that I've talked about on the show lately is just the business is kind of in this beautiful place where it's like more rinse and repeat. And it's everything that I work to build it to, to get to this point, because that allows me to be more freed up as a mom. It allows me to just be more freed up in this season and stage of my life. But it also allows me to be so intentional with the offers we have.

30:00So we recently did an episode talking about how you don't need to create more things. You need to go deeper on what's already working. And that worked really well this year. And we're going to carry that forward. So if getting into that sort of business model, where you can anticipate, where you are not creating from scratch, where it is more rinse and repeat, if that is on your goal or your vision board for 2024, here are three things that you should do. So first do an inventory, look at what is working, get really, really clear at what is driving the results. Remember Pareto's principle, usually 10 % of our efforts lead to 90 % of our results.

30:36When you can get really clear on that, you know what you need to do in order to grow the business or sustain it. The second thing is, is create a rhythm that allows for more ease and optimization in your offers. So again, instead of focusing on creating new things, look at how you can optimize what's already working for you at an ease filled pace. And then lastly, get organized and track your progress. We had a recent episode, episode number 726. And it's, if you want bigger results, you have to do this. And it is all about tracking and measurement. It'll walk you through how to set up Google analytics, measure your efforts, how to use that data in a way that helps you to make educated decisions moving forward.

31:18That episode is a goldmine for you. If getting to this place in business is one of your goals. Okay. The last thing that I want to talk about in terms of what works this year is just the results around this year. I am just like blown away. So we had two separate million dollar launches, which is so insane. And I remember one time listening to a podcast episode and the host was talking about a million dollar launch. And I didn't even know that was a thing. So if I just painted a four minute mile for you, you're welcome. It's real. We had two separate million dollar launches, which were amazing.

31:55And the best part was, is that they weren't super stressful. They were really fun and just incredible. We brought in over 175 ,000 new email subscribers to my email list. I love my email community. You know, my email list is my number one way that we drive profits in the business. That is huge. I love showing up in people's inboxes every single week, serving them with incredible exclusive info. And so that was a huge win. We had our top year ever in our course sales. So our online courses, we just hit the highest year we've ever hit by a landslide in our course sales, which was amazing. And something to note here is like, I have not created a new course in over four years.

32:39So these are courses that I've had running and refining and optimizing over the last four plus years. And so again, reminder, you don't need more offers, make your offers really, really good. We were able to double our affiliate revenue from last year, which was a huge win. So we literally were able to double what we earned from affiliates. And if you want to learn more about that, we have a free guide. It's linked in the show notes, but it's jennacutcher.com slash affiliate guide. If you want to learn how to get your first sale as an affiliate, affiliate marketing is one of my favorite things.

33:12And then lastly, a huge result contributor was our chat automation. So I've talked about this on multiple podcast episodes this year, but through our chat automations, meaning when you're on Instagram and I say, DM me the word chat, and then a sequence happens and a funnel happens and you're served, that has been a huge contributor to this year's success. So through our chat automations, we were able to collect over 50 ,000 new email addresses new to our brand. We were also able to drive over$1.6 million in revenue, and that's only counting the launches. So not counting our evergreen efforts, our email list growth or anything.

33:53So a huge contribution to our increase in profits this year had to do with our chat automations. If you're curious, our top three chat campaigns that we ran this year were our Pinterest lab launch. So our webinar registration to teach people how to use Pinterest, our podcast lab launch, which was our webinar registration to teach people how to start a podcast and our level up quiz where we ask you some questions and serve you with the best resource that is based on your needs. And it was just an amazing year using that. So if you want to see how to do this and learn how to do it for yourself, hop on over to Instagram at Jenna Kutcher, DM me the word chat, C-H-A-T.

34:36Just send me a DM with the word chat. You can see how this sequence works and you can be connected to the people who are doing it for us and who taught us everything about this. But that would be the number one results driving strategy that I would definitely consider adding for 2024 for you. And it was a huge win in terms of what worked for us this year. All right. So what sucked this year? All right, let's get to it. Let's be honest. You probably came here to listen to this part because we all love hearing where people struggled, which is such a weird thing about being a human. So first, there was a lot of change this year for me.

35:09And it was really interesting because at first when I was thinking, okay, what sucked about this year? There really wasn't a lot of things that were like standing out in my brain. I am forever an optimist. I can't help it. I've always been this way. But when I really started to think about it, there was a lot of change this year. So first we moved into our new house, but it was delayed. So we were kind of displaced and our stuff was in boxes and we had storage units. And again, it was like the most beautiful blessing and a dream come true. But being displaced with kids, messing up school schedules, you know, it was just a tricky start to the year.

35:42It felt like we weren't grounded and it felt like we were just in this very long transition. And so that was how we started this year. Look, I've become kind of a systems nerd and anything that gives me more space in my day, I'm all in. And a reliable connection is a huge part of that because when the internet lags or cuts out, everything pauses and suddenly the simplest tasks take forever. I learned really early on that dependable internet, it's not a luxury, it is a must. Whether you're a content creator like me, a restaurant owner, or running a busy dry cleaning business, you need that steady connection to support your team and your clients.

36:20That's why I'm excited to share a solution for my fellow business owners.

36:58Can you believe that we're already wrapping up 2025? This year was packed with travel and so many new memories. One of my favorite moments was our team retreat in Arizona with the incredible women who helped me keep this business running. I also recently took the kids to Nashville during fall break, and somewhere in between, I squeezed in a trip to Puerto Rico with friends. We booked some of our most memorable stays this year on Airbnb. There's something special about finding a place that doesn't just look great in the photos, but actually feels welcoming the moment you walk in. That this feels right kind of feeling.

37:32If you've got trips coming up, whether it's a family vacation, a retreat, or a work trip, your house will probably be sitting empty while you're gone. Have you considered hosting your home on Airbnb and letting it work for you? It's a simple way to earn some extra income that can be put towards a future trip or home improvement projects. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com forward slash host. The next big change that we encountered is there was a lot of changes on my team. And it's so interesting because most of my team members have been with me for years and years and years.

38:06So Kylie, who is the producer of this show, left for great reason. We recorded a whole podcast episode about that. And then I ended up adding three new team members and a handful of new contractors in the business. So there was just like a lot of transition within the team itself, which was slightly overwhelming. And I am someone who doesn't have this desire to have a massive team. And so just that expansion just felt uncomfortable. We also transitioned platforms for many different things like the podcast. And I had to learn all these new systems and we kind of had to create new standard operating procedures and learn new things.

38:43And like, I am someone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not super tech savvy. And so doing a lot of those transitions just left me feeling like a little untethered. And then lastly, we brought on new contractors. So we're really growing our LinkedIn strategy. We're also exploring YouTube. So if you like to watch the podcast, you can now go watch it on YouTube. We're experimenting with these different areas. And so we had a lot more meetings and a ton more Slack channels. And if you were to ask me, Jenna, what is your dream day? My dream day is a day on the calendar where I have nothing scheduled.

39:18And so having a ton of meetings, some of them that are weekly meetings, I don't know. It's something about my personality. It drains me. And there's probably people, you're probably listening to this and you're like, Jenna, I have like eight back-to-back meetings a day, every single day. And like, I am just not built that way. I love to have the freedom on the calendar. And I'm not saying I like a free day to like go gallivant around. When I have a free day, I get so much work done, but I like doing it and like following my own energy. It's very weird. And there's also this ADHD thing. Like today, I have one appointment at like 4 p.m.

39:50And all I can think about is that appointment. Like I'm so close to not getting anything done today because all I can think about is my chiropractor appointment at 4.45 p.m. My brain is crazy. I don't know how to explain it, but that is a struggle for me. The next thing that didn't work that drove me absolutely bonkers is what was working on social media this year. It was so annoying. So this is kind of a funny one, but it is a pain point. and it's something you might be feeling too. Did anyone else notice that the only content that was really popping off, especially towards the end of the year was content talking about how much money you make.

40:24I hate that content. If you saw that content come out of me, I was cringing right alongside of you. I do not like creating that content. I think it's dumb and I don't think it often tells the full story and whatever, but that was the content that was performing. And it was so frustrating to me because like I create my own content. I'm paying attention to trends. I'm watching what is trending. I'm trying to pay attention to like what's working because I can see that social media now gets us epic results because of this many chat integration and this chat funnel thing. And so it is worthy of my time.

41:00However, when the content that you're working so hard on isn't translating the way you want it to, and the only content that is working is content that makes you cringe, that sucks. That totally sucked. So it was just really annoying because even like for a launch, I created 30 reels. I, Jenna Kutcher, created 30 reels for one launch. Two of them had to do with money. Those two drove 90 % of our results. How annoying. So that really sucked. And I really hope that things shift because to me, it is not about the money. It is about the freedom. It is about the peace. It is about the joy. It is about being in control of your own life and choosing your own adventure.

41:41The money is a vehicle for a lot of that, but it's not the only reason why I do that. In fact, it's very low on the list. And so to have to lead with that to get people's attention, annoying. Okay. The next thing I want to talk about is something that I have not shared at all. Even my podcast producer didn't know this until she looked at this outline. I got a health diagnosis this year, later this year, and I haven't talked about it publicly, but I was diagnosed with PCOS, which is polycystic ovarian syndrome. And it's very interesting because Drew and I ended up going in for elective MRIs. We had met a few people and we know a few people who had done these and they had found cancer and different things.

42:23And I can get a lot of anxiety around my health. And so we elected to do these MRIs. And when the results came back, one of the things that they noted on my MRI, which was overall very, very clean, was that I have so many cysts on my ovaries. They literally wrote too many to count and that I need to go in and that there's a good chance that one of them can rupture. And there's just a lot of things around that. And my response to that was very twofold. So part of me was relieved to have that diagnosis. And part of me was like angry that I never received that diagnosis in all the years of like my fertility struggles, miscarriages, trying to conceive, weight, like so many things in my life, like where now I'm like, oh my gosh, it added up.

43:12Now here's the blessing of this. So the blessing of this is that so many of the lifestyle changes I've literally made over the last six years after my second miscarriage are things that help contribute to not allowing PCOS to have a huge impact on you. So what's beautiful about this is now that I'm aware that I have it, looking back, I have made so many of the shifts that doctors would have prescribed for me that I likely would have been very overwhelmed by if I would have gotten them all at once. And so I, you know, I don't eat gluten. I have really been focusing on my cortisol. I've changed the way I move my body.

43:52I've been focusing on blood sugar stabilization and metabolic health. There's so many things I've been doing unknowingly to support my body. And I'm grateful that I've been doing those things on my own, but I'm also like, would it have changed anything if I would have known this? I don't know. I don't know. But I got that diagnosis. What's really interesting is according to the World Health Organization, PCOS affects an estimated eight to 13 % of reproductive aged women and up to 70 % of affected women remain undiagnosed worldwide. And so just Google PCOS symptoms and see if you fall under there.

44:31There are so many symptoms that I had. And again, there was this little piece of me, this little knowing that thought that I might have it, but just getting that diagnosis was really interesting. And I really went inward when I got the diagnosis because I just wasn't really sure what to feel or think about it. But now I've kind of let some of my healthcare professionals in on it and share those results. And now we're kind of trying to work towards an even better plan to just help ease the symptoms that come along with it. And it's just an interesting thing. So didn't talk about that, but that happened this year.

45:02Another thing that happened this year is I just had a much deeper desire for privacy. It's interesting, even this podcast episode, I'm like, I haven't shared some of this stuff. And I have lived a public life. And I mean, I'm not a famous person. But like, if you think about it, like my journey has just like unfolded in front of the eyes of hundreds of 1000s, even a million people. And so I've just been used to running a business in the public. And so what's interesting is, is I've always actually been a pretty private person. Like I am comfortable sharing certain aspects of my life. And I'm also very sacred with other aspects of my life.

45:41And so this year that desire for privacy, just like increased tenfold. I think being a mom really shifted that for me. I think that I've had to learn the difference between privacy and secrets and really get comfortable with like, not everyone is entitled to know everything about me and that's okay. And so it's just been really interesting navigating, having a personal brand, which I love. And I love connecting with you. And I love letting you into my life, but also really saving space for what I consider sacred. And so in this season, I've just felt way more protective, way more private, way more inward, which has been just really interesting.

46:22I did a whole episode about not sharing my kids' faces online anymore. So Mother's Day hit, and it was the day where everyone shows how beautiful their children are. And I just felt this deep guttural mama instinct of like, done, I'm just done. So we have not shared their faces online for months and months and months. And that was a huge shift for me as someone who has openly shared so much. And that has felt so good and so in alignment with me. And this is not out of judgment of what you choose. But I also just think that we're the first generation that are raising our kids in this digital space where like their lives are unfolding online.

47:00And so we do have to have some level of discernment of what is appropriate and what our kids are going to want to have out there on the internet about them. And so I've really tried to find a balance of sharing motherhood because it is a massive part of who I am and what I love and what I do, while also being conscious of my children's own stories and their privacy and their own unfolding of their lives. And so that's been really interesting, but I just feel like I'm just craving more privacy. And I'm not sure exactly what that looks like. But it was still something that was like sucky and hard to like navigate.

47:34Another thing that I failed at this year, and it was on the suck list of last year. So I really didn't do much to improve it is just figuring out how to support this crazy brain of mine. Oh, ADHD. So I got diagnosed with ADHD. Gosh, was it a year ago or two years ago now? And one of the things I wanted to work on this year that I just didn't do a great job at is just figuring out how to support my brain better. And this is really a carryover from last year, because I feel like I'm still just getting to know myself and understand what ADHD is and how it presents and all these things. And I found some amazing Instagram accounts that like keep me laughing because I'm like, oh my gosh, they're inside of my brain.

48:11But I feel like one thing that was really hard this year is that Marissa, who's like my right hand integrator, she was my integrator for years and years and years, she transitioned into a new role within the company. And so I didn't really have that buffer between me. So before it was almost like she was like my bodyguard digitally, where people would go to her and then she would figure out how to task different things for me and get things onto my calendar. And once she transitioned, I really wanted to respect that transition and pull her out of that. And so I lost the buffer. And so people were just constantly coming to me and I can get so derailed so quickly with like one Slack message.

48:47And so that is something I really want to work on next year, because I feel like there were so many days where I had a million tabs open, both metaphorically and realistically in my life. And it just doesn't feel good. Like it just doesn't feel like you're actually moving the needle. It doesn't feel like you're doing what matters. It doesn't feel like you're being productive. And I just, I want to get better at that. One thing that was very helpful in that realm was just having an office space. but as someone with ADHD, I have to like move around. So like just today I worked from my bed. I worked from the kitchen Island.

49:22I worked on the couch. Like I liked variety, but having this office has been great in terms of like really hammering out work and focusing there. So improvements, but something I definitely need to explore more with my ADHD. two final things of what sucked. Um, so I started therapy this year and if you've ever done therapy, you know, that it kind of sucks, right? Like it's so good, but it kind of sucks. That's how I can describe it. Every time I see a therapy appointment on my calendar, I'm like, Oh, I don't want to do it. And then I do it and I'm like, Oh, I'm so glad I did it. So I did a girl's trip with a bunch of people who you probably know and follow on the internet.

50:04and we stayed in this beautiful house and it was just like really, really wonderful. And we were kind of talking about just different things we've experienced in our lives. And my friend Mel Robbins was like, I think you need therapy. And she said it in a nice way. It wasn't like a bad way. We're working through some things. And she told me about her therapist who she loves. And so after that trip, I got on that therapist wait list because she's very, very in demand. And I had to wait a couple months to start with her. And it's so interesting because I was like, I just want to start now. But I was also like, I have not done therapy ever in 35 years of life, which is crazy.

50:38And so I just waited and waited and waited. And so I recently started therapy right around fall of this year. And it's been beautiful. I feel like it's broken me open. I feel like it's been hard. I feel like it has me processing a lot of things. I feel like it has me going back in time. And it's, you know, it's only the beginning, which is so interesting. And one of the things that I love about it is that the woman I'm working with, it's not necessarily like me just sitting down and like just unleashing everything that's happened in my life or the week, but she's giving me a lot of tools to really just have a deeper sense of awareness and consciousness around the way I'm thinking or feeling and really pay attention to those things.

51:21And so I feel like I'm walking away with literal tools to explore how I'm making decisions or how my past impacted me or how I want to parent my children. And I feel like therapy is hard because I'm looking at it through two lenses, right? I'm looking at it through the lens of like my own inner child work, my own shadow work, my own wounded daughter work. But I'm also looking at it through the lens of like, what do I want for my kids? What do I want them to experience? What do I want them to believe? So it's just beautiful and raw. And I feel like it's like ripping me open, but it's been good and hard.

51:56So it sucked and it's also worked. And I think that falls under that category there. And then the last thing that I would say sucked about this year, and it's really hard to even put into words is like, I just sense that a shift is coming and I don't know what it is. And so I feel like I'm walking through a room with just a flashlight and I can kind of get glimpses and I can kind of get urges and intuitive nudges, but like, I, I don't know what it is. So I just am like sensing like there's going to be a shift. There's going to be a change. There's going to be something new, but like, I don't even know which direction to move into.

52:34Like my human design is, is like, if you give me a step-by-step process, I am going to execute on it. But when there are things like this, where I just like sense something, but I don't know what it is. It's really hard because you're just like in the middle and I'm working with someone and she's like, you're going to know what it is when it comes. You'll have utter clarity on it. So I'm just like waiting. So I'm definitely in a waiting season. I don't know what that is. And one of my goals for next year is to keep my calendar a little bit more easeful so that I have more bandwidth to like go inward because I've just really found, and you know, this is something I've talked about in my book.

53:09I've talked about a lot. It's just like the more that I leave time and space to go inward and get honest with myself and ask myself the bigger questions. That's how I start to like reveal what's next. And when I'm too busy to do that, I just keep doing much of the same. So that would be the last thing that sucked is just like the sensing of change and evolution and shift without really knowing what that is and how it's going to look. So final year reflection. So earlier this year, Drew and I sat down and we outlined what our intentions were. We had it in a shared document, which I loved. And I visited it only a couple of times this year.

53:45I wasn't really great at it. So this year I'm going to like have to like print it out and put it on my desk. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to like have it be like in my awareness every day, but here were my intentions for this year. So two solo three day getaways, which this one was like not a hit or a miss. It was kind of like a shade of gray. I did get in a few work trips where I traveled without my family, but I didn't actually end up doing like a solo getaway, which I think would be really good for me. So this is something that I'm putting onto my 2024 vision board. My goal would be to do like a wellness getaway that's solo, like just be alone with myself.

54:19So that's my goal. So I kind of did this kind of didn't do this. One thing I did that was really awesome is that whenever I traveled for work, I always extended it by one day so that I didn't get home just feeling exhausted. So I had one extra day. That was awesome. Another goal that I had on my vision board for this year was to strength train three times a week. I feel like I did accomplish this, but not in the way I intended. So like I said, I kind of envisioned like me getting really bulky and strong again, and that didn't really happen, but I did get a lot of inner strength and a lot of like small muscle strength with my yoga and Pilates and my little hand weights.

54:52So I feel like I did this, but maybe just not in the way I thought. One of my biggest intentions was a solo weekend trip with Coco. So Drew and I, this year, we both had this intention of, we want to take our girl on one-on-one time. So daddy and Coco time, mommy and Coco time. This child loves to travel. And I would say if you're considering doing this, ages four to five are the perfect time because she like is very aware of travel and she knows what happens and she's excited to go on the airplane and things like that. So I took her to Chicago. We had the best weekend ever. We ate noodles in bed.

55:26We went swimming five times in the pool. We went to the National Museum of Ice cream. It was so much fun. And I hope that it's like the first of like 50 different mother-daughter dates. Like I want this to be an annual thing where we escape for a weekend. Drew took her to the Mall of America. They went on roller coasters. They went shopping. They ate at the Rainforest Cafe. I'm like, these are her core memories. So that was a huge win and something that is also going to carry over. Another goal of mine was to host one time per month at our new house, which we did. And I turned from a person who hates hosting to someone who loves hosting.

56:02Now, here's my caveat. If you come over to my house, we're probably going to order Domino's pizza. We just had a birthday party. We had Domino's pizza and a Dairy Queen cake. That is just my style of hosting. You're not going to get like a perfect charcuterie board. The table's not going to be set beautifully. I just don't roll that way. I don't function that way, but I will be present with you and you're going to have a great time. So hosting was so much fun and I just love hosting in this house. So that was awesome. Another goal of mine, which was a total fail was playing piano three times a week.

56:31I was in the practice at the beginning of the year, totally fell off the bandwagon. So this is something that is going to carry forward onto the next one. I want to do more things with my hands that don't require a screen. So playing piano is perfect. So 2024, I'm coming for you with the piano. Transition to four day work weeks, total win. We did this successfully. We might've done it a little later than we had initially intended, but we're sticking to it. me and my team love it. So that was a huge win. And then lastly, take one week off per quarter. And I'm not totally confident on this one. I think I got close to this.

57:01It might not have been like, I'm taking this whole week off at a time, but I definitely took off days here and there for trips and things like that. And I definitely logged off to spend a lot of time with family and friends. So that felt really good, but I might get a little more, a little bit more intentional of like blackout dates just to like really be present in whatever's happening. So there you have it. I've yet to finalize 2024's list. You'll probably hear about it on this very show. Once I do that, something tells me it's going to be a lot of the same. I loved this year overall. I loved this year.

57:30I just, I really, I can't say it in any other way. I loved this year. So I think I'm going to carry over a lot of these goals and intentions and this feeling and desire for peace and ease in 2024. I cannot wait for it. And I just want to say before we sign off, thank you so much for inviting me into your life and hopefully walking alongside of me throughout this entire year.
