After a multi-year hiatus and far too many password recovery steps- ModernbossMama is back. The last few years have been a fog,  a race on the hamster wheel, and can only be defined as chaotic, intense, and yet full of growth and increasing clarity. What more can you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we shouldn&#8217;t compare our highlight reels- one of the most common pieces of advice I give to employees, friends, mentees is to acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments. It&#8217;s so powerful and often times humbling in list format.  So here&#8217;s my list of highlights from my 2023- &#8220;Year of Me&#8221;  in no particular order. As you can see the scale is different for each of these, but that doesn&#8217;t make them any less important. Growth comes from reflection and intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Surviving the first semester of three kids in three different schools with different pick-up times. Thank you to the carpool friends and parent\/grandparent tribe that have helped support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoying our first adult only international trip since kids . Our trip to the French countryside brings me to a place of calm, slowness, where people start the day with bubbly and savor their food. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connecting and meeting people all over the globe in with my work- traveling to Mallorca, Bangkok, Mumbi, Pune, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo.  I love eating the local foods, understanding the cultures and getting to know people. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accepting a position on the Caring for Cambodia board of directors and finding a way to continue to rebuild a country and a people that have been struggling since their education, economy, and country was decimated. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Honoring the life of my grandmother, bonding with family as we made funeral arrangements, and continuing to make memories with the kids and their grandparents and cousins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healing and rebuilding myself. Improved bloodwork, hitting bootcamps and achieving milestones I never thought I could (having a coach know your name at the gym, making gym friends, lifting weights), daily meditation, journaling, yoga, and intention setting. Yes, I&#8217;ve always been a little woo-ey and I&#8217;ve found my tribe for that too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letting go of perfection- ongoing and hard work. There&#8217;s probably a whole blog\/book talk I could give on this one. It&#8217;s the toughest of all for us xennial, overachieving, TypeA, eldest child of immigrants, and survivors of trauma. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raising children that are kind, witty, with just enough sass to make me feel good about their ability to survive ( positive reframe). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all- another great year for this modernbossfamily. But not because of the instagram stories, but because we&#8217;re just living our best, messy, loud lives and trying to make a difference in this world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess whose back?
