Dr. Shawna Pandya is our guest. And hey… Dr. Pandya has one of the biggest dreams of anyone we’ve ever featured on DREAM THINK DO.  She… drum roll please… wants to step foot on Mars.  Yup… Mars!

And… when you hear about her background… you’ll know that she’s actually got a chance of getting this big dream done.  She’s a scientist-astronaut candidate with the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences (IIAS), she’s a physician and she’s also an aquanaut.  Oh… and she skydives… she’s a martial artist and she’s a pilot. 

It doesn’t stop there.  Dr. Shawna is also the VP of Immersive Medicine with Luxsonic Technologies and she’s a medical advisor at Above Space Development Corporation.  And… she’s a Fellow of the Explorers Club. 

See what I mean?  This Mars thing could really happen!

We’re going to talk about what it takes to pursue a massive dream.  As we do… we also talk about keys to overcoming the Imposter Syndrome, strategies for breaking free from worry and implementable tactics to increase your resilience as you go after YOUR dreams!  I think you’re going to love it!
