Today I celebrate a special milestone — 10 years of podcasting. Yep, I started this thing back in February 2014. I've never had a viral episode. Ever. But I kept going. When I started, I thought I was late to the game. I've realized that it doesn't matter if you outlast everyone who quits or never starts.

Join me as I delve into the concept of "burning clean energy" – from the people we engage with, to the food we eat, and the environments we dwell in.

All of these principles have been vital to my growth and success, starting from being a solopreneur and now running several businesses. A few thoughts here:

1. The people you surround yourself with
2. The content you consume (and who you follow)
3. The food you eat
4. Your living and work spaces

As we step into 2024, it's nice to back to solo episodes. One of my big tenets this year is to "run your own race" – it's time to shift our focus from comparing our lives to others to embracing our unique paths. 

• The Comparison Trap: Discover how social media can skew our perception of success and how to step away from it for a healthier mindset. (Yea, I canned my Instagram account for awhile)
• Practical Strategies: Learn practical strategies to help you focus on your own path, including goal setting and cultivating gratitude.
• Embracing Self-Acceptance: Explore the journey of self-acceptance and how it can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
