4 questions to find meaning in a hard year


Today's Takeaway:

Gratitude isn’t pretending the hard things didn’t happen. It’s simply appreciating something even during hard seasons 🩷


Hey Reader!

With Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., I wanted to share my gratitude to you as well as sharing a slightly different angle on this topic.

This year has been heavy for so many of us.

World chaos. Revenue dips. Unexpected curveballs. Plans that didn’t go as planned.

And maybe you’ve found yourself wondering:

Is this still worth it?
Should I keep going?
Why does everything feel so hard?

In this week’s episode of Accountable, I’m sharing a gratitude practice meant for seasons exactly like this. Not the ā€œjust look on the bright sideā€ kind… but the real, human kind. I walk you through four reflection questions to help you reconnect with the truth of your year:

  • What you learned
  • What decisions brought clarity
  • Where you gained confidence
  • The wins you forgot to celebrate

I hope this episode brings you a moment of peace and gratitude for yourself and all that you've done.

And if you’re in the U.S., I hope you enjoy a peaceful, restorative Thanksgiving surrounded by people you love.

​

Thanks,

Amanda McKinney

Today's Takeaway: Before you choose what you want next year, reconnect with who you want to be 🩷 Hey Reader! As we inch closer to a new year, most entrepreneurs jump straight into planning mode: new goals, new projects, new strategies. But before you do all that… there’s something I hope you (and me!) take time to do and that's to pause and reflect. This week on the podcast I'm talking with systems & maternity leave strategist, Aly Caffrey...who also happens to be a great friend of mine. We...

Today's Takeaway: Approach goals like an interior designer approaches a room renovation 🩷 Hey Reader! If you don't love home renovation shows like I do, let me give you the run down of how the shows go: The client is DONE with the room the way it is so they hire a designer The designer comes in and asks lots of questions to get a feel for what needs to change They determine a budget and timeline and commit to working together The designer creates the plan and gets to work Inevitably they run...
