to be the best versions of themselves. So, in that spirit, we decided to host a holiday

party for young girls where they could come together and have fun while giving

back. We did just that. In this week’s episode, you will hear from a few of

those girls and how they are beginning their bold and audacious lives. Enjoy

hearing their sweet stories and voices!

How often do you stop and really consider the power of your words and the impact they're having on the people around you--not to mention your own state of mind? Paying homage to Kelly Corrigan's book, Tell Me More, we decided to create our own list of phrases that shape our lives. Sometimes we're rockstars at living by these ideas, and other times...not so much.   The point isn't to fully live these phrases every day--the point is just to explore more of who we are.  Right now, we're falling in love with podcasting and connecting with all of you--and primarily because: this is fun.  We don't believe that we're (all of us--and this includes you!) having enough fun or making fun a priority.  And when we can--we should.  Like right now. Go ahead. Listen in. Have fun.
