While reflecting, we actually realised that most of our learnings have come from our mistakes rather than our wins.

This reminded us about the importance of pushing boundaries or stepping outside our comfort zones and being ok with not always getting it right because that’s what will help us improve, grow and make better decisions both for ourselves and for the business in the future. Doing this has absolutely confirmed that we have no regrets and we’re excited to do things differently and even better in 2023.

Here are some of the things that Laurs and I learnt in 2022…

• We can only do what we can with what we have in any way given moment. Every day is different, sometimes we can give more and sometimes we can only give a little and that is ok.

• We never really feel 100% ‘ready’. Don’t wait for the ‘perfect’ time as it may never come, lean into the unknown – it is where we grow.

• Trust your instincts. You don’t have to take on board every single piece of advice you are given. Always listen, but never underestimate your own personal experience and gut feel.

• No one has all the answers or knows exactly what they are doing. It is ok to say ‘I don’t know.’

• We are all flawed, and no one is perfect. Embrace the imperfections and don’t expect from yourself what you would never expect from someone else.

• You can’t pour from an empty cup. Burnout is unavoidable if you don’t take time for yourself.

We’re wishing you all the best break and we can’t wait to KIC’ it with you in 2023!

Love Steph & Laura
