2022 Overview ✨

The last blog post I created was nine flipping months ago, back in Spring. 😅

Since then, life has changed drastically... and thankfully, so have I.

The biggest 🐘 in the room would be my major career change.

I had my entire life set on journalism, especially after graduating with a first in broadcast journalism back in 2021. 🎓

For the past decade, I told family and friends that I'd be in broadcasting and they'd see me on their TV.

But life is full of twists and turns, filled with endless possibilities. ↩️

And in April, I secured my first big girl job as a Content Writer for a small recruitment agency.

Despite the sarcastic gif, saying yes to digital marketing has irreversibly changed my life for the better.

Even though I've faced many struggles as a new digital marketer in a solo team, it's forced me to grow and develop. 📈

For so long, I always cared about what others thought and how it'd affect my reputation.

Two weeks ago, I let go of that narrative. 🏌

This is why you're now seeing my face a LOT more on LinkedIn and there's no plan to stop 😊

Building relationships in the industry and creating content to build my personal brand is now my lil passion project - which leaves me feeling full and satisfied before bed. 🌙

And since starting this, my priorities have slowly started falling into line...

1. Deleting social media apps that take up WAY too much of my time yet serve such little purpose (Twitter and Facebook I'm looking at you 👀 )

2. The feeling of FOMO is sloooooooooowly fading. This is huge as anyone who knows me, knows I always end up going out. 🥴️

3. Spending time alone, switching off my phone and watching feel-good films of an evening sounds way more appealing than wasting £££

So, compared to January Millie, this has been a huge transformation in habits and mindset.

I can't wait to see what 2023 has in store and what I'll be producing this time next year...

A few goals I want to set out are:

• Book and pass my theory test (a very long time coming) 🚗

• Start another podcast - any co-host offers are extremely welcomed 🎙

• Build a responsive and engaged LinkedIn community 🗣

• Further my skills in digital marketing; complete more online courses and keep saying YES to opportunities 🚀
