Get ready to venture into the heart of personal transformation as I sit down with my number one fan, my husband Trevor, for an intimate and profound chat. Join us as we navigate our journey, shedding light on traditional mindsets, their influences, and the shift towards entrepreneurship. We'll also share our struggles with comparison and imposter syndrome. Trevor opens up about the influence of his prior 'work hard' mentality on his life, and our shared experiences will get you thinking about your own mental frameworks.
Amidst the laughter and deep introspection, we talk about those 'aha' moments that have shaped our lives. Remember the time we tore down a wall in our house? That wasn't just a home renovation project - it was symbolic of breaking down barriers in our lives. Listen in as we discuss the power of ideation, stepping out of our comfort zones, and acknowledging accomplishments. We celebrate Trevor's exciting new podcast venture, Doing Awesome Daily, and share some words of wisdom for those embarking on a similar journey. Come along, take a seat and let's chat about growth, transformations, and the pursuit of happiness. The journey is long, but the rewards are definitely worth it.

Episode 50: Preserving Precious Moments: The Story Behind 'Letters to Ollie'
Ever wished you could freeze time to cherish those precious fleeting moments of your child's early days? That's the exact conundrum that led me, a new parent, to create Letters to Ollie, a customizable journal notebook designed to help caregivers capture and immortalize those heartwarming memories. Inspired by the birth of my son, Oliver, this memory milestone book is more than a journal; it's a treasure trove of prompts and pages for recording every special moment that would otherwise be lost in the haze of new parenthood.
Struggling to choose between a hardcover copy or a digital file? You're not alone. I grappled with the same question before realizing the tangible, emotional value that a hardcover version offers. There's something undeniably special about flipping through the pages of a book filled with the moments that made you smile, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two. But don't worry, I haven't dismissed the idea of an electronic version. Join me as I share my journey of creating this keepsake, explore the emotional weight of a hardcover book, and discuss the potential for a digital version of Letters to Ollie. This isn't just about creating a journal; it's about preserving the precious essence of a child's early years in a timeless gift.
