Thanks for being so honest. My pitch acceptance rate was also so much worse this year! Also, I'm so, so sorry to hear about the things going on in your personal life. My mom had Alzheimer's and was in a memory care facility for a few years before she passed. Going back and forth to check in on her was a lot to say the least! I can't imagine dealing with a sibling's passing on top of that.
Thanks, Meredith. It's impossible to know how challenging the situation is until you're in it. I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Even with the best care available (which was the case for a friend's mother), it's still heartbreaking to watch a parent decline like that.
Oh big hugs Cassandra, what a tough year. I'm so sorry about your brother. Thank you for sharing all of this (and woohoo- those accomplishments!!). It's a good reminder that each one of us is going through something that not many know about.
Cassandra, I appreciate your transparency more than you know. I too lost my brother to addiction last year, and being a new mom with a new PR business struggled with how to manage “real life” while keeping up a front that everything was normal. It’s such a good reminder that everyone is going through something, and we just never know.
Wishing you peace and strength for the year ahead.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Because I looked after him for so long, I felt the loss more than I did when my father died. I can't imagine how much worse it would be to also be managing being a new mom. I wish you strength, resolve, and comfort as you navigate the challenge. Here's hoping it gets better. They say time heals all wounds and I'm still waiting for that to happen.
Thank you for sharing this and for reminding us that we're all human. I can only imagine how challenging this year has been for you, and I deeply admire your courage in writing and sharing your story as I'm sure revisiting those moments is incredibly hard. Your vulnerability is truly admirable. Wishing you an easier 2025 filled with more joy, growth, and well-deserved wins!
Thank you, Nicole, it definitely isn't easy to revisit all of this but it also is never too far from my mind. Thank you for your kind words and I wish you a wonderful 2025 as well.
Cass, I so admire your ability to balance family needs, work, and travel. This year sounds like it was a tough one for you, but despite that, you still have so much to show for it. Proud of you, and wishing you lots of ease and abundance in 2025!
