Lessons Learned from 2020 and More Year-End Reflections
Hey, Ambitious Fam! One of my favorite things to do around this time of year is to reflect on the past year as a whole. Reflections are important throughout the year (hence, my monthly wrap ups) as they allow you to learn, evolve, set new goals, and practice gratitude for the things that you have…
