It’s time for a new series, and with the start of this new year, Maria and Michelle have decided that this one will be all about reflecting upon the year that was 2020. There is no denying that this past year brought a great deal of suffering to so many people throughout the world, and our hosts want to pause and take a moment to honor all of them. There is also no denying the fact that some positives can be found in 2020 - some growth that happened and lessons learned - that are worthy of being reflected upon as well. In light of all of this, get ready for a series that looks at the ‘good, bad, and ugly’ of the past year, and uncovers any inspiration it has to offer.
Today’s episode begins by looking to find the good in 2020 and exploring Michelle and Maria’s reasons for starting their company. Michelle shares the big step she took this past year and the lessons she learned from it, Maria recounts her great things from 2020, and together they discuss the important role that sleep plays in achieving both personal and professional success. They conclude by offering a glimpse of what to expect in the remaining episodes of this series. The reality is that 2021 is here and 2020 is done, so join our hosts this month to take a look back, find the positives, and hopefully gain some momentum to move forward through the tragedy with hope and inspiration.
