Chasing Courage

I got to interview the most handsome man I know, my husband!!

This conversation is a "highlight reel" of our story, from meeting in early 2014 to being a married for almost 4 years with a 2.5 year old. Find out ALL (Well MOST) the details about when and how we met, where we went on our first date, when we knew we loved each other, how Rob proposed, some favorite wedding day highlights and the birth of our son.

Rob - Thank you babe for being you and overcoming your nerves to get behind the mic with me! :)

Park, Reverse, Neutral & Drive

What gear are you currently selecting for your life?

Drive- the only transmission position most people select for forward progress

Reverse (Verb) - to move backward (Noun) - a complete change of direction or action

Neutral - a disengaged position of gears in which the engine is disconnected from the driven parts

Park (Verb - as it pertains to motoring) - to bring a vehicle that is driving to a halt and leave it temporarily

I make some connections between PDNR and the book I am currently reading (& listening to) How to Stop Feeling Like Shit by Andrea Owen, she has such an eye opening take on Self-sabotage, what I refer to as being in the neutral gear.

QUOTES

"Self-sabotage is your one-way ticket to feeling like shit over and over again" - Andrea Owen

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Albert Einstein

Join me as a sit down with the owner of a BODY by Erica, a Holistic Wellness Spa in Sandusky Ohio. Erica Taylor is a friend and local entrepreneur who is working full-time as a HR specialist for the city WHILE ALSO participating on boards and building her spa business. She is a wife, mama of 3 and grandma to 1.

We discuss:

1. What is the role that your spouse / partner plays in the ability for you to chase your dreams
2. She shows some amazing appreciation for her husband - who cooks + cleans!
3. The role that faith has played in her blooming business and marriage
4. Challenges she has overcome as a black woman - having a baby at 15 and still building a life and business that is valued and successful.
5. What it means to be a 20 gallon woman
