2021 Wrapped: Reflecting on a Year of Growth and Transformation in Life and Business
It’s that literal same question we ask at the end of every year: where did the time go?
2021 brought its struggles and triumphs for the Reed family and my coaching business, and in honor of transparency and celebration, I wanted to recap the top highlights of the year with you, in as chronological order as my brain will allow. 😅😉
WINTER
One of my biggest 2021 business goals was to become a certified coach, so naturally on the second day of the year, January 2, I applied for the Quantum Coaching Academy! At the time, I had no idea how impactful this program and certifications would be for my confidence coaching career.
Brandon and I packed up our Nashville belongings and moved back to the Kansas City area. We’ve enjoyed being back and being closer to family, but definitely miss our friends and outdoor adventures in Tennessee.
SPRING
The 12-week Spring 2021 cohort of the Creating Confidence™ Group Coaching Program launched with 4 beautiful humans inside! This program is intentionally intimate for the ultimate high-touch experience with personal development and growth.
I flew to Dallas to spend a week in a house with seven women I’d never met before - all to experience the Quantum Coaching Academy Live. While there, we experienced massive healing and transformations, I shot mini brand photo sessions for each of them, and made some pretty powerful friends, too. This experience solidified my desire to create a retreat for women!
Probably my most memorable accomplishment of 2021: I graduated from six-week stand up comedy class and hosted my first virtual Stand Up Comedy Show for Charity! With the help of an incredible audience and 30 minutes of laughs, we raised over $1200 for To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) - a a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.
Ditch the people-pleasing–The Badass Boundaries Bundle launched! This value-packed bundle includes the Badass Boundaries Blueprint (a self-paced curriculum to help you build boundaries that protect your energy and strengthen relationships - a $497 value) AND a 60-minute 1:1 Boundaries Strategy Session (a coaching call with yours truly to dive in to specific blocks and strategies for your unique boundary-setting situations - a $333 value) for only $444! Psst - this bundle is expiring January 28, 2022. Snag it before it’s gone!
I was named a Top 10 Inspirational Self-Love and Confidence Coach to watch in 2021 by Disrupt Magazine! I’m honored as hell to receive such a title.
SUMMER
Our first retreat for entrepreneurial women, Hey Biz Besties, in Nashville, TN was a sold-out success! We refreshed our business marketing and strategies with workshops and brand photoshoots, recharged our batteries with pool time, movie nights + delicious food/drinks, and built lasting relationships with other business women from across the United States. It was incredibly magical, and we took our learnings and began gearing up to host another retreat later in the Fall!
Oh, and the day I got home from the retreat, Brandon and I found out we were expecting. (Baby Reed coming March 2022!)
I took my QCA final certification exam and passed with high marks! I became officially certified in Quantum Life Coaching, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping), Emotional Timeline Release (ETR), and Reiki Level 1.
FALL
The Fall 2021 cohort of the Creating Confidence™ Group Coaching Program began, with 6 badass souls in it! This round was especially unique, as we’ve extended the group program (TWICE!) for a total of 24 weeks of working together. Yeah… it’s that good! 🤩 (Exciting news for what this looks like post-baby 2022… stay tuned!)
After many discussions and ugly tears about the world and traveling, Taylor and I made the difficult decision to cancel the Fall 2021 Hey Biz Besties retreat in Scottsdale, AZ and refund the women who had signed up to attend. We’re looking forward to releasing the details for our Fall 2022 retreat!
I began a full-time job, and resigned from that same job 90 days later. While it wasn’t an easy decision, it was ultimately the most aligned decision. My best advice: if your heart leaves, take your body with it.
I went on to complete the Level 2 certification for Reiki! I’m now able to offer distance healing sessions, as well as in-person.
THE NUMBERS
I gave 12 presentations, spoke on 6 podcasts, received 5 certifications, donated 4 figures to causes dear to my heart, was featured in 2 articles, and worked with 38 dream clients.
THE WRAP-UP
I’m so grateful for this whirlwind of a year, and looking forward to moving into 2022 with intention. I’m releasing all expectations, and allowing abundance and joy to find me with ease. If you were a client of mine in 2021, thank you and I love you. ❤️
If you’re looking forward to working with me in 2022, send me an email ASAP. With Baby Reed on the way, I’m only accepting three (yes, 3!) clients for the next 6-9 months and I’m enrolling them right now. (I’m not planning on opening my books again until Summer 2022, so get on my calendar now!)
