Word(s) for the year 📝 and a pre — SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! 🦋
Choosing a word or words as a theme to the New Year is one of my fave journaling things to do in December. And, today is the perfect day to share with you! #wintersolstice 🌙 ❄️
I have thought long and hard about how I want my life to look next year…
The word for my personal life is 𝗥𝔼𝗖𝕃𝔸𝕀𝕄.
The word for my entrepreneurial life is 𝗥𝔼𝗣𝕌𝗥𝗣𝕆𝕊𝔼.
I am reclaiming my time, my energies, my passions, and repurposing my best work.
________________________________________________________________
Here is how I plan to create my day…
The first 30 mins each day…
- Journal
- Read
- Research content for podcast — newsletter — socials — Medium
Next up…
- Scheduling and creating client socials
- Writing for Medium — use for socials
- Record podcast
- occasional meetings and client sessions
BREAK — more reading, walking or chatting with friends
Afternoons — Coaching sessions, voice students, creative time.

Mind you, this is a 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚 schedule. They won’t always look like this. I am done with the all-or-nothing game I have played in the past. If an important deadline or event “interferes” with this schedule THAT’S OK!
One of the greatest skills an entrepreneur/small business owner can have is the ability to remain flexible. Don’t be derailed when life or business throws you a curveball.
Those of you who know me personally, know the curveballs I have been dealing with over the last few months. It’s been rough. I am not good at being flexible. 😬 I found that the more I simply allowed myself the grace to breathe and move forward the best way I could, the better it was for all concerned. The Universe loves to teach us what we need most.
With that, I share with you that next Monday I will FINALLY be announcing a very exciting endeavor. And, it’s made with YOU in mind. Enjoy the next few days with whatever or however you may or may not celebrate.
Look for my email on December 26th. The first place I will announce is here with you. I am so deeply grateful for each and every one of you and LOVE when you reply and say “hey” and ask me questions.
I will also share my content creation plan for 2022 in the hopes it helps you even more.
I wish you all the joy and love of the season. 💙 🦋
XO, Karen
On to an update that is making my announcement even more important… Instagram’s announcement was the largest and clearest but make no mistake…all the platforms will move to some version of this.
Instagram Comms on Twitter…”We’ve been experimenting with Favorites, a way for YOU to decide whose posts you want to see higher up, and we’re working on another option to see posts from people you follow IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.” (emphasis mine) — twitter.com
FRIENDS! This is literally so incredible it is what is driving my content creation plan for 2022.
I believe that the platforms are moving in the direction of Web 3.0… that means USER and CREATOR driven emphasis. Not only that, AR and VR are moving in crazy beautiful ways… teachers — musicians think about this!!
We could be “displayed” in someone’s living room teaching or performing! OMG. Ok, that’s my Clifton Strength futurist showing itself 😬 😆.
In short…just know this… the platforms will be a conduit… the creators will hold the reins, the users will tell us what they want to see/hear/read.
There is SOO much more to talk about in regards to 3.0.
For now, I welcome you to think about this and I can’t wait to share my thoughts and strategy for marketing and social media in 2022.
