Quick Recap

Hey there, Happy New Year! Usually, this is the time of year when I share a long year in review. However, when I went to write this, it really just came back to I became a mother this year. I went through an extremely personal transformation that I'm not really sure you're interested in reading about. I'm going into 2025 a much different person than I entered 2024. There's been a ton of behind-the-scenes hardship and growth. The highs were high (like meeting my little one), and the lows were low (like health battles). And I'm still in the midst of some big shifts, so the transition isn't over yet. On the newsletter front, we hit 3,000 subscribers and have published 50+ issues. For something that was just supposed to be a little email sharing my lessons learned in operating remote teams, I'm still surprised by what it has turned into. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. For anyone who had an unexpectedly upending year or is in the middle of some big transformations, you are not alone. The unknowns are scary, but you've survived big changes before, and you'll do so again. I'm rooting for you. If you wrote a year in review, please send it my way. I'd love to read it! We'll be back to our normal content next week. If you're looking for something to read in the meantime, please check out some of the top articles of the year:
I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. Hope you have a lovely day! Marissa
