The time of year is here, our yearly Women’s 2022 Predictions!

This year we received 1,266 responses from the SheSpeaks community. We asked women about all kinds of topics, from their social media usage, 2022 goals, and economic outlook to current emotions.

Here are three key insights from the results, check out the deck below for more!
 

  1. The Pandemic Has Caused Trauma and Ongoing Anxiety. In 2019, 60% of the SheSpeaks Predictions survey respondents felt excited and optimistic about entering 2020. After a year plus of economic hardship, job loss, and pandemic trauma, the optimism seems to have faded with a consecutive 27% drop in anticipation for the new year.
     
  2. Self Care and Self Progress will be the Theme of 2022. Along with improving fitness, optimizing organization, and doing more for well-being, self-care will remain a common goal amongst women. In 2022, 61% of women will be placing their energy into building strength and improving fitness. Organization of the home and increasing travel have the most significant year-over-year difference in this category. Many women (51%) have also reported the desire to learn a new skill either through reading, listening to podcasts, or joining a class.
  1. The Growing Desire for Connection Strengthening relationships with family and friends seems to be the most sought-after accomplishment for women in the upcoming year. Up 15% from last year, 61% of women hope to spend more time with family & friends. For singles, the desire for connection in the form of a new love interest has also increased by 75% from 2020!

I would have to agree with them. As crazy as this world is right now. Anxiety is at an all time heigh but so is self awareness and trying to better one's self.

I think the desire to be closer to other people is going to be a huge thing. It's great to me, that we are starting realize we do all need one another and are learning to be kinder.

Since the pandemic and all the riots and protests, I cry much more easily. I liked the reconnecting with family. I did because I didn't know if one of them would pass from Covid.

Yes. I'm still worried about the Covid because of the new strains. Also my family has respiratory issues so this is a huge problem even though we're vaccinated. I do want to travel a bit more this year and am working on decluttering my home and life if that makes sense. Fitness is something that I definitely want to get back into but I always seem to quit so Im going to try find ways to make it stick. I want to start a few new healthy habits this year. Hopefully I can keep them up.

The Pandemic for sure has changed the face of day to day living.

Very accurate. Definitely experienced a lot of anxiety these years and I think it is great that so many want to focus on their loved ones and also themselves, because self-care is so important.

I definitely believe the Pandemic has caused so many to suffer emotionally. I miss spending time with my family as much as I used to😥

I would definitely agree with these. I just sold my business a couple of weeks ago so there is a lot of uncertainty going into the new year. I plan on doing more things to take care of myself, as well as, spending more time with family and friends. Something I've missed out on the last several years.

I wish we didn't have a negative prediction.

I agree with these, I think we are so over the new normal, we miss our relationships with friends and family
