#416: My Birthday Episode: Hard-Earned Lessons I’ve Learned This Year

December 14, 2021

Listen on…

How The Last 12 Months Have Changed My Mind… About A Lot

There’s leftover cake in the Porterfield kitchen, which can only mean one thing. 

We’ve had a birthday! Mine, to be specific. 

And while I wish I could treat you to poolside mai tais to celebrate, I thought, at the very least, we could have a little heart to heart to mark the occasion.

Because the last 12 months, as you know by now, have brought high highs and some low lows. 

So, in this special birthday episode, I’m taking stock of the lessons, wins, and losses of the last year…and sharing the brand new mindset I’m taking into this next one.

I can confidently say I’m another year wiser because the struggles of the last 365 days brought some profound lessons that I wouldn’t trade for the world.

And, as always, I hope that my lessons learned can make the load of life, leadership, and business a little lighter (and less lonely) for you, my friend… so let’s chat.

Here’s a glance at this episode…

  • [03:02] I just had a birthday. On December 12th, I turned 45 years old.
  • [05:07] This episode is dedicated to being one year wiser and some of the lessons I learned throughout the year. 
  • [05:31] While this year was a challenge for me, I did learn some profound lessons. No matter how far we've come, we all get to a season where it feels like we've taken a step back.
  • [06:57] One of the biggest lessons I've learned this year is that I have to give myself some grace. 
  • [10:21] We have to lean into the seasons of our life. Even in a dark season, we can have really great moments. Seasons of life happen. Be present and know that the bad seasons will pass.
  • [13:48] Action creates clarity. Acknowledge your feelings and then get into motion. Things feel better when I'm clear about what I want and moving in the right direction. 
  • [16:26] 1. You can't live in the past. 2. Seasons of life are real. Some are amazing and others less so. 3. Ask yourself what you want. Answer the question and put together a plan of how to get there.
