When you hear the word "Legacy" what do you think of? Hopefully more than the Jay-Z song "Legacy" on his 4:44 album. Legacy is more than what you're remembered for when you're gone.

A mother, a profession...

Some of us not working and facing some of our biggest fears, being alone. I just wanted to check in with my listeners to see how everyo...

Very often when we're chasing a dream or working towards something we take ownership of something that is not yet ours. We feel entitled to something we haven't yet deserved, instead of living in the moment and appreciating the journey. In this episode we talk about the concept of enjoying your journey and not feeling entitled to something that is not yet yours.

You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  This first episode is the beginning of a new chapter and a new journey for me. I've learned through all my travels and experiences that we all have different journeys and different stories and none of us have it figured out. But that's ok. This podcast is my way of saying we'll figure it out on our time and enjoy the ride.
