February Forecast – Julia Berolzheimer

February always feels like a breather, but I have a feeling it’s going to go faster this year. It’s only the beginning of this month, but my calendar is progressing like a boarding pass. There’s a lot going on in New York, a lot of meetings, a lot of momentum.

Behind the scenes, things are changing in ways that are both exhilarating and overwhelming. The project we’ve been building for years is starting to take shape. There’s an energy that comes with it. It’s the feeling of gratitude, the pressure, and the feeling of suddenly standing in a job that used to be all about talking.

So, it’s shaping up to be a busy February in the best sense of the word, with a little travel, a little family time, a few things I can’t share yet, and I’m really looking forward to taking you all with me.

what we are doing

• New York, twice in a row. This month begins with two trips to New York (this week and next week). We have been meeting and have some things in the works and will share them as soon as they are official.
• A winter vacation escape. The girls have winter break in the middle of the month, so we’re going to Palm Beach for a long weekend. So many of you sent in your thoughtful recommendations. four seasons — was by far the most acclaimed option.

• Currently looking for new investment destinations. Thomas and I have been slowly investing in our business over the years, but the last few weeks have been filled with meetings to consider new opportunities. This is exciting and reminds me how much I enjoy other aspects of the business apart from what I primarily see on the blog.
• My goal is to read one book a month. Starting for February the last thing he said to me.
• Interest in health feels outdated. I’m now prioritizing my health, especially my chronic inflammation from celiac disease and arthritis in my knees (which I’ve had since high school).

• My current non-negotiables are walking and weight training. I do weighted vest walking on my treadmill at home. My life is fulfilling now, and I am able to take walks at 5 a.m. without having to adjust my class schedule. I’m wearing it this vest Use with 10 lbs. This walking pad/treadmill.
