Our time together is meant to inspire you to think bigger, and empower you to live your life in a way that makes you proud to be YOU. I believe that the only box you should fit in is the one you build for yourself and I'm here to help you lay the foundation. My journey has taught me that we all deserve to create our own definition of success while meeting ourselves with love and a playful curiosity. My goal is to provide practical tools and fresh perspectives so you can rewrite your story, start living your life on purpose, and ultimately become more freely YOU.

In this episode, I sit down with Yvonne and Tony Glassman to talk about entrepreneurship, building businesses alongside your partner, and staying grounded through it all.As owners of three businesses, they share what it really looks like to navigate entrepreneurship as a couple—from making big decisions and managing stress to learning through failure and growing together along the way.

This could have been a confession corner, but honestly, this conversation is about so much more than me. It's easy as individuals who "do it all" to forget to take an inventory to see what it is that we really need - beyond checking something off of the to-do list. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed lately, been under a lot of pressure, or just need a reminder to prioritize yourself, I hope you will press play on this one.

The conversation dives into the concept of self, exploring the difference between identity and true self, the impact of feeling disconnected from one's true self, and the importance of prioritizing and aligning actions with one's values. We're talking about creating space for self through rest and recharging, and the role of small aligned actions in strengthening one's sense of self.#selfdiscovery #selfdiscoverycoach #selfdiscoverypodcast #awareness #personalawareness #selfimprovement #selfimprovementcoach
