2022 Q4 Media Round-Up | Jessica Cording Nutrition

Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but when thinking about my intentions for 2023, I needed a lot of time to reflect on 2022 first.

2022 was a big and intense year for me. In my professional life, the biggest highlight is that I launched my second book, The Farewell Tour: A Caregiver’s Guide To Stress Management, Sane Nutrition, and Better Sleep. I have been so heartened by the responses from people sharing how much this book has helped them.

In my personal life, there was a lot going on behind the scenes. I’ve been pretty open about the fact that while there were lots of good things (spending another year with my wonderful husband, moving into our new house, finally getting a handle on some physical health issues) there were some very low points too. The lowest was having a miscarriage in November and navigating all the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges around that.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: it’s important to remember that what we see on social media is just a small piece of the picture. Be gentle with yourself and others. As I shared in this podcast episode, don’t compare yourself to what you see on social media.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this Rumi quote: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

I’m curious to see what I’ll say about this period in my life when it’s in the past, what I’ll feel I learned. As we get ready to close out this year, I’m celebrating the good but also taking my own advice and giving myself time and space to process the challenges, to trust my intuition and the universe to show me what I need to know at the right time.

And if you need this reminder: don’t rush the 2023 goal-setting if you’re still not feeling it. I really like the approach of taking things one quarter at a time when the idea of planning out an entire year feels overwhelming.

Speaking of quarters, as I do every quarter, today I’m sharing a look back at publications, podcast episodes, and media appearances from the previous quarter. Q4 of 2022 was a juicy one, with lots of fun book promo. I’m so grateful to everyone who made time to connect with me to discuss the project and share on their platforms. I’ve also been blown away by the responses from people sharing how much the book has helped them. It’s truly an honor to be able to support you on your journey.
