My life has been nothing short of incredible over the past 6 months. I made the decision to stop looking outside myself, to stay in my lane and doing some really scary things … that actually turned out to not be so scary after all.Today's episode is one that I’m sharing so I can explain what I did so you might pull a few bits of inspiration out of this for yourself … to step into your own sovereign self to see you’re stronger and more resilient that you think.What you'll learn in this episode:How I tore it all down and completely started my business over this summerHow I made space for what was wanting to come inWhen I stripped every bare, I realized I had everything alreadyFinding refuge in the absence of the illusion of what I thought was safe learn what I did during my "summer of reinvention" and how it was a little quirky and unconventional, and how I created “home away from home” at a local campground. I spent my days in our family RV. which became my haven, my refuge. A place to explore, be curious and begin the reinvention process. And asked the big question: Who is that I’m called to serve?As you'll learn, when I flipped the switch to make my transition, what I know for sure is that when you hit on what's right for you, the Universe has one big happy dance.I have a lot of exciting things to share coming in the coming weeks and months, including, a relaunch of this podcast, so that means, there will be a podcast-a-palooza party.
