Reset Complete: The Tea on 2024 and What’s New for 2025
Whew, where do I even begin? 2024 was… a lot. It wasn’t just tough; it was a year that tested me in ways I didn’t even think were possible. Imagine being good at managing chaos, yet still drowning in it. That was me.
I lost clients. Revenue got shaky. I joined program after program, chasing solutions that promised the world and delivered absolutely nothing. I said “yes” to too much, and for the first time, I didn’t know how to say “no.” My ADHD brain needs space to breathe and reset, but instead, I filled my schedule to the brim. I was overworked, overwhelmed, and—to be real—starting to resent everything about my business.
I stopped everything. My podcast, this blog, and even the community I started building. If one more task had hit my to-do list, I would’ve lost it completely.
I felt like a failure. Like I had let down my clients, my team, and even myself. But sometimes, stopping is the only way to find clarity. And that’s exactly what I did.
Now, I’m back. Not just back but better (sounds cliche but it’s true). Let me serve up this hot tea on 2024, the hard lessons it taught me, and the epic comeback on the horizon of 2025.
Out with the Old: The Tea on 2024
Let’s just call 2024 what it was: a hot mess. On the outside, things looked fine—clients were getting served, projects were moving, and my agency was coming along. But on the inside?
• I Lost Clients and Revenue: Things were rocky, and I kept trying to patch the holes without addressing the deeper issues.
• I Overcommitted and Overworked: I was saying yes to work I didn’t want to do, chasing way too many shiny programs, and leaving no time for rest. And my ADHD brain? It was screaming for freedom.
• Systems Were Falling Apart: My team was doing their best, but we didn’t have the tools, processes, or clarity to deliver the level of service DST is known for.
And then there was me. Burnt out, resentful, and asking myself, Why am I even doing this? That question hit hard. Because if I didn’t know the answer, what was the point?
So, I stopped. I stopped it all. And honestly, the guilt was real. Guilt for walking away from things I had worked so hard to build. Guilt for not showing up for my team or clients in the way I am used to. But looking back, it was the best decision I could’ve made.
The Reset: How I Got My Mojo Back
The power of the pause literally saved me. It gave me space to reevaluate everything—the what, the why, and the how. And from that newfound clarity, a whole new version of The Digital Solutions Team (DST) and of me was born.
How I managed to turn things around:
I Overhauled My Systems- I finally sat down and created the SOPs my team needed to thrive. I revamped client onboarding, streamlined processes, and set us up for long-term success.
I Leveled Up My Team- With systems in place, I was able to promote a team member to Team Lead. I delegated the internal tasks that were draining me and FINALLY fully stepped out of client work.
I Developed the FOCUS Framework- DST now has its own methodology—the FOCUS Framework—that gives our clients clear, ADHD-friendly systems to support their businesses. It’s a game-changer.
I Wrote and self published a whole Book! - Yup, amidst all this, I published The Chaos Queen. It’s proof that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing the mess and making it work for you.
And you know what? It’s working. My team is thriving. My clients are excited. And for the first time in a long time, I feel like me again.

Goodbye Chaos and Hello Clarity
2024 was a wake-up call. I learned the hard way that you can’t pour from an empty cup, no matter how capable or resilient you are. I had to stop everything, take a step back, and rebuild the business—and myself—from the ground up.Here’s what I realize now:
• Rest isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
• Saying no creates space for the things that matter.
• Systems and processes are the difference between chaos and clarity.
I went from burnt out and overwhelmed to confident, secure, and excited for what’s ahead. My team is operating at their best, my clients are thriving, and I’ve built the foundation my agency needed to grow.
