Happy New Year, you guys. In this video, I’m wrapping up 2023 (which was honestly extremely overwhelming) so I can reset properly and make 2024 my best year yet. This is also the kickoff for my “Unboring Adulting Series,” where I’m going to ramble more about real adulting stuff—work, friendships, finances, relationships, time management—because I’m literally living through it too. I start my yearly review by taking stock: I look through my photos and videos, rewatch my 2023 YouTube uploads (I’m genuinely proud of some of them), reread journal entries, and just reflect—especially after having alone time on my Bali trip. I walk you through my 2023 mood board (my word was “balance”) and share the three memories I treasure most: a friends’ wedding in Vegas, finding a quiet Mount Fuji viewing spot in Japan (hidden gems + simple joys), and a surfing camp where I found such an adventurous community. Then I share three big lessons: the power of routines (packing my bag the night before changed my mornings), learning from people and cultures that are different (India really expanded my perspective), and how authenticity attracts the right people (I’m done people-pleasing). Finally, I plan 2024 with my word “momentum,” my mood board, and a simple “year on a page” across self, home, community, and work—plus a note from “future Cherie” to stay grounded when motivation dips.
