From Setbacks to Big Wins: Why Missing Out Could Actually Change Your Life EP | 152

In this episode of Life’s Checkmark, I’m sharing my recent adventure from Pennsylvania to Texas, where I overcame setbacks and made new friends along the way. From a pulled calf muscle and a busted car to meeting amazing people I’d only known online, I reveal the ups and downs, the power of in-person connection, and how unexpected roadblocks often lead us exactly where we’re meant to be. You’ll get the inside scoop on the faith and business event I attended, tips from my podcasting journey, and a reminder that we ALL have a story worth sharing. So here’s my call to action—share YOUR journey, take that leap, and see where life leads. Tune in, get inspired, and let’s keep growing together!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Overcoming obstacles before a big trip
  • Power of in-person connections through podcasting
  • Growth from attending live events
  • Unexpected opportunities from saying yes
  • Simple ways to get started in podcasting
