Jesse is back in the studio with me this week as we share some newsy updates from recently. Tune in as I share some highlights from my recent solo trip to Disney World, where I joined my business coach Alli Worthington for a getaway. I had initially resisted the idea of wearing Disney ears, but the trip turned out to be a truly profound experience for me, both personally and professionally. While there, I found myself reconnecting with my inner child and reflecting on the awe and wonder that I had been missing.

I discuss how Alli's approach to life really inspired me deeply and reminded me of the importance of seeing the world with fresh eyes. The trip also gave me a wonderful opportunity to pour into other women and receive coaching that shifted my mindset and leadership in my business!

We also share an update about Silas, who had the opportunity to visit Grand Canyon University during a service trip. It was amazing to see how impressed he was by his experience there, sparking new excitement for his eventual college journey!

Afterward, Kathrynne and I took a spring break trip to Charleston, South Carolina, and I couldn’t have been more grateful when she chose to forgo a trip with friends to spend that precious time with me! Our time in Charleston was all about strengthening our bond and creating memories, and it was truly such a gift!

We wrap up by reflecting on how much our kids have grown, especially in their character and maturity. These recent trips have reminded me how important it is to invest in relationships and how meaningful those moments can be, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did sharing it with you!
