In this episode, we dive into what it really means to take control of your education and growth. I share how my own journey began during long commutes, first with entertaining podcasts, then growth-focused shows, and eventually audiobooks.

We put so much pressure on ourselves by setting timelines for our success, and when we don't hit these goals, negative self-talk kicks in. I want to tell you from experience that it doesn't matter if you arrive late as long as you arrive.
