Your past is preparing you for your future. Today we’re going to hear a story about how one woman pivoted, reinvented herself, her vision for her future - with confidence, class, vision, and audacity. There’s so many lessons in this episode for anyone who is unsure about starting something new - and needs some encouragement on starting again. We're not talking about starting over, but starting again...because all that you’ve been through is preparing you for where you’re going. You just have to trust the journey.
