A Memory Dump as we look back at 2022.

At the risk of thinking last year was all downhill, trading a pandemic for a recession and a war, it's worth celebrating the carousel of memories.

We started wearing masks at the beginning of the year and ended up wearing slippers that every guy says, "Oh, I wish I was wearing those," at every convention I attended.?

My year always starts in Vegas with CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, and the return of events this year included the Connected Health and Fitness Summit in LA, EHFF, FIBO and the FitTech Club in Cologne and Munich, Boutique Fitness Summit in New York City, Mega Quarterly in the Netherlands, IHRSA in Miami, CanFitPro in Canada, where I was so honored to take out the International Presenter of the Year - thank you so much to Mo and the delegates, BOLD in LA and London,The Fitness Future in Sweden and SC Fitness in Portugal.

I met legends in industry all year long.

We became US citizens.

We went to a one child family with Zoe starting college.

I secured my masters in being a soccer mom with the boys, making the semis last year and Max making the under 17 LA GalaxyAcademy Squad. Taking us around the country and to Venice and Croatia, thank you. And the first team made the playoffs. Yes. US soccer is rising.

Friends popped up all over the planet.

Good Soul Hunting all got in the room in Miami for the first time ever, and rocked the year of search, placing amazing people in purpose-driven roles.

I presented at conferences, webinars and podcast ad nauseum with wonderful people like Matthew Januszek at Escape Your Limits Podcast.

We covered events together and you know you've made it when you get in a Pete Moore Cartoon. Tashie talked me into making an audio book, which seemed such a good idea at the time, due this month January, look out for it. Building a Badass Boutique - Your 10-Touch Journey to Designing a Fitness Studio that Rocks.?

I kicked off Badass Bullets this year with my inner circle. Please make sure you join. We'd love to see you on the inside.?

Strengthened and toned another year's worth of Basic-Fit BOOTY. Got addicted to Stranger Things and reruns of Top Gun. Managed a birthday at Nobu Malibu, a near impossible task where Max ordered 10 tacos, which I'm still paying off, and he's now officially the tallest in the family.

Hilarious mini vacations with teenage boys, but it's never all light and rainbows. Some friends passed on, which was devastating so live your life y'all and Rest In Power Mac!

My Instagram was hacked and you don't realize what you have until it's gone.

Lots of friends lost their job. Lots lost their sanity.

Closing the year out in style with a one week on jury duty and then off to London.

Three years since I've been down under, and I can't wait to get back to New Zealand and Australia in 2023.

Whatever your showreel for the year, don't let the bad stuff drown out the good.

Thank you for being in my life and remember to stay CALM.

C is for Connect- stay connected with the many fabulous people in your life.

A is for Act. Take action on the things that really matter to you. These are activist times and it will fester if you leave it.

L is for Laugh. Do shit you love. Do it every day.

M is for Move, to keep the energy going and to keep your vibrancy high, defy regression as we sit down in our lives and we forget to stand up.

Be the beacon of hope we need you to be for the people looking to you for inspiration.

I love you.

Happy New Year.

Let's get ‘23.
