The Hardest Decision I’ve ever Made as a Teacher was a huge change. However, this change propelled me forward to being able to step into my purpose. On this episode I’m telling you a story about me (sharing my heart here) and how you can use change to push yourself in your goals. In this episode we’ll chat about:
  • change and how it’s a process and although its feels different every time it’s pretty predictable
  • how to use that process to challenge yourself to propel forward
  • sharing my heart on this one & I can’t wait to hear what you think.

🚃 Fun fact!! I live in Chicago, right next to the train. You'll hear it a few times in the recording 🚂
