After a highly successful 17 year career in the restaurant industry, Lora Harris retired from corporate America and became a serial entrepreneur. That journey took her through coming face to face with her addiction, going through financial hardship, leaving toxic relationships, and completely rebuilding my identity and how I want to show up in the world. I am quickly approaching my 4 years in sobriety. Lora is the co-founder of rebel mental wellness, celebrity dog mom, and content creator. She is determined to reach and impact as many lives as possibly through her testimony and story of overcoming and taking back her power.

Welcome to this episode of the podcast, where we'll be discussing the importance of perseverance in achieving your goals and dreams.

Have you ever been discouraged after hearing a "no" or facing setbacks? Our guest, Tamika Reid, has a powerful message for you. She suggests being as relentless as a cockroach after a nuclear war.

In this episode, we'll explore what it means to be relentless and how you can adopt this mindset in your own life. One of the first steps is to develop a growth mindset, which means embracing challenges and seeing failures as opportunities for growth.

We'll also discuss the importance of setting clear goals that align with your values and passions. Breaking them down into smaller steps can make them more manageable and help you celebrate each milestone along the way.

Another crucial aspect of being relentless is surrounding yourself with a supportive network of mentors and like-minded individuals. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it; reaching out for assistance is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Join us as we explore the power of perseverance and how you can cultivate a relentless mindset to achieve your goals and dreams.
