In this powerful episode, we sit down with inspirational speaker and "Possibility Hacker" Shelli Varela to discuss the life-altering power of asking, "Why not me?"
Shelli shares her incredible story of becoming her city's first female firefighter against all odds and reveals how watching her own mother build an empire from nothing shaped her belief in what's possible.
This conversation is for any mom feeling stuck or dreaming of more, offering a practical path to rebuilding your confidence and modeling a life of courage for your children.
