  • Who did you become last year? What is something you could not do last year that you want to be able to do by year's end? Shan Boodram shares how 2022 - the most transformative, miserable, lucrative and full year of her life - is grounding her 2023 with these twenty questions in mind.
    Who did you become?
    What was the single best thing that happened this past year?
    What was the single most challenging thing that happened?
    What is one change you made that improved the quality of your life?
    What was an unexpected obstacle?
    What can you give yourself credit for this year?
    Were you dishonest with yourself or others last year?
    What’s your most memorable story
    What were the best books you read this year?
    Who poured into you this year, who do you want to thank?
    What’s something you couldn’t do a year ago that you can do today?
    What’s something you want to be able to say you can do a year from now that you can’t do yet?
    What promise do you keep breaking to yourself?
    What promise will you make to yourself this year?
    What was the most enjoyable part of your work?
    What was the most challenging part of your work (both professionally and at home)?
    What was the best way you used your time this past year?
    What was your single biggest time waster in your life this past year?
    What one word or intention do you hope will define your 2023?
    What was biggest thing you learned this past year?
    What would you do this next year if you knew you could not fail?

    Can I just say how much I love your colour palettes: it's giving me tropical, Caribbean, California cool, happy, diverse - YET - slightly muted and confidently calm. Mature. It’s all very playful and soothing at the same time. I also love that damn blue bottle 😂

    My roommates and I have a tradition where we pull a vulnerability card with questions and answer them every night before bed. My question was “has a stranger ever changed your life?” My answer was “Yes, Shan Boodram changed my life. I have learned so much, healed some wounds, and just felt a little less alone by listening to her speak”. So thank you Shan.

    I was pumping milk and watched this video and I want to say thank you for this. I became a mother at the end of last year and it’s the struggle but a beautiful one. The push and pull of am I good enough since this transition plagues me but you saying do the best you can and bring okay with all experiences and parts of you regardless brings so much assurance that I’ll be alright. Love this episode

    Your definition of self-love cannot be based on your favorite things about yourself.
    Because that means when you cannot be the best version of yourself, you don’t have access to loving yourself because nothing that you love about yourself do you qualify for.
    Self Love redefined: My love for my ability to be there with me despite who I am and what I currently am not.

    I’m so glad you mentioned The Mastery of Love to this community! I hope people read it. It genuinely changed my life and made me cry. I have recommended it to more than 10 people in my life who have all been deeply impacted by it to. Love all your recommendations this one is near and dear to my heart ❤

    Thank you Shan for your honesty and interesting, relevant content as always. Love your outfit here 🤩I also lost genuine joy over the last couple years with peri hormonal changes affecting weight/not feeling great, then being laid off from my dream job (or what I thought was my dream career..still figuring that part out). May this bright new year be filled with hope, inner & outer sexiness, new opportunities for financial abundance & thriving health (mental, physical and spiritual). Stay encouraged. Appreciate your contribution to this conversation. Wishing you the best!!! xxx

    Hey Shan! I’m new to the community. Within the few videos I’ve watched, I love to see how you hold space for past versions of yourself. It’s helping me already to start training my brain to “stand with myself” in the various ways I’ve shown up and will continue to show up. So thank you ❤

    Shan, as always thank you for sharing your journey and hard truths. It’s always insightful and inspiring to hear!
    The part where you said you don’t even identify with your old self anymore though really shifted something in me. I always carry what i did in survival mode with me, even though i haven’t engaged in those behaviors in years. I will still eat ramen noodles though 😊.

    This was so spot on for me as well for 2022. It was truly a hard year and really like breaking my perception of who I was so I can jump into a new version of myself. I relate so much as a mother, entrepreneur/business owner, everything down to being disconnected from sex and my body. Really great questions. Thank you for being so vulnerable on here in this episode and on others.❤

    The before, during and after effects that u explained. Thank u for putting it into words.
    I feel so immature as a single parent with so many unfulfilled goals, but it’s so gratifying.
    Alas those f*** u hours will be for studying soon. ☹️
