Motherhood isn&#8217;t easy but it&#8217;s incredibly rewarding. I also had the opportunity to spend lots of time with family abroad.\u201d \u2013 Jules, Global PR Specialist<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI started this job, realized how common pelvic floor issues are and got to work training mine. Basically, I said goodbye to sneezing leaks!\u201d \u2013 Laurie, Accounting Specialist<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSurvived another year of law school.\u201d \u2013 Petra, Content Manager<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHad the best sex of my life&#8230; solo. Sila and Soraya are the winning combination for me.\u201d \u2013 Vesna, Paid Content Specialist<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat I consider success is getting in a 2 minute shower and memorizing all the words to Peppa Pig. Can you tell that I&#8217;m a working mother? <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important KPI in my life is spending time with my baby.\u201d \u2013 Mirjana, Global Head of PR<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy co-workers are awesome, but I really enjoyed working from home this year. Not having my commute saved me loads of time, and now when I see my co-workers, we&#8217;re doing non-work related activities. Although I must say, they aren&#8217;t the best karaoke-rs.\u201d \u2013 Zoe, Creative Illustrator<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI discovered that I&#8217;m pretty good at making alcohol. It wasn&#8217;t my first year brewing beer, but I made new ciders, wines, and even gave liquor a shot. It&#8217;s going to be a fun New Year.\u201d \u2013 Andrew, SEO Specialist<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBought an apartment! May have sold my soul for the next thirty years, but who cares about the details. Having something to call your own is pretty badass, and you can&#8217;t go wrong with property as an asset.\u201d \u2013 Kelly, Paid Content Manager<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI visited 13 countries this year. It helps living in Europe where everything is well connected, but flights were insanely cheap and WFH helped make it possible. I hope to incorporate as much jet-setting as possible while I can.\u201d \u2013 Melissa, Junior Copywriter<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGraduated with my Masters and got a job with LELO social media!\u201d \u2013 Antonia, Social Media Assistant<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I committed to a new eating habit (intermittent fasting) which is working great for my body and concentration while working remotely. With the bustle of the past few years, it\u2019s been nice to slow down and catch my breath for one. \u2013 Sam, DMU Manager<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you have accomplished this year, whether it&#8217;s monumental or making your bed every morning, celebrate the wins.
