Today I chat with life coach April Price. A few years ago, April wasn’t happy. She’d done all the things she thought would bring satisfaction.

April hired a coach, changed her life, and then became a life coach herself. Join me as we discuss her personal journey, her career path and her advice for all of us during this difficult year.
