• 2024 Reflections | Lessons from a "messy middle"

  “The most precious gift you can give someone is your time and attention” This is it - the 52nd and final episode of doing it my way by beata matras in 2024. It’s been a year full of lessons, challenges, growth, and new beginnings. In this personal episode, I’m reflecting on the key lessons I’ve learned this year, both in my career and personal life. From the messy middle to moments of clarity, I hope these lessons resonate with anyone navigating their own journey. ✨ My key lessons: Struggles don’t erase progress - they’re a part of it Growth can feel lonely but often happens in solitude Challenges are life’s greatest teachers Love starts within - it’s a foundation, not a destination New beginnings are risky but worth the leap Life is unpredictable, and that’s where the magic is Resilience and self-discipline build quiet strength Relationships go beyond networking - they require care and consistency Actions speak louder than words - they build trust Time and attention are the most precious gifts we can give. As I step into a new chapter and take a break from podcasting, I hope this episode helps someone out there who’s navigating their own messy middle. Until next time, take care and - keep doing it your way 💫 --- Explore more episodes: https://linktr.ee/doingitmywaybybeatamatras⁠ Youtube: https://youtu.be/G9AjhHQYabU — 🍵 Enjoying the content?
