God can't bless you for tend to be or who you compare yourself to. He can only bless you and the lane that was created for you.

I feel that for somebody.

You don't need no itch, it's a tea you need boundaries. What? I don't need your lights, I don't need your elevation.

All I need is a God party for me that's there are things, all things, all things.

I know we're almost a week into the new year, but I feel like today is day one since it's the first time we're connecting.

I need to bring back singing on the podcast. I feel like somebody misses it. Who are you?

Email us and let me know if you miss me singing. I'm not sure if y'all are like me, but I operate from the spirit of new years saying me.

Not that I'm not looking forward to the burst of new energy that comes with the new year, but because I refuse to leave behind the lessons earned in the previous year, I don't want to forget what I've experienced because I know I'll need to tap into previous lessons again at some point.

I think my friend Marissa can relate. She's had some experiences from last year that she is carrying with her into 2022.

She's going to share those with us, but she's also going to give us some tips and strategies on how to maximize our 2022, especially for those of you starting businesses. She is the plug.

Matter of fact, check the show description because you're going to want to be able to connect with her.

She's been using the lesson she's learned to help others navigate through similar circumstances. Let's check in with her and see what's up.

How are you?

I'm good. How are you doing? I'm doing great. Thank you.

What made you want to sign up to be a co-host?

So it was really funny. I was listening to the podcast and I literally heard you say it at the beginning.

So I pulled over literally like I was headed to Starbucks. I pulled over and I sent an email real quick.

Finish the podcast at the end. You give us actual instructions and tell us that we need to give a little bit of information about ourselves.

So I'm like, oh my gosh, like I was super excited to come on and share.

Try to shed some light and they are not going to choose me because I could not follow directions.

But got got worked that thing on now because look at you sitting here shining with your iPad turns sideways.

How's this year been for you?
