Welcome to "It Has to Be Me"! In this podcast, we explore the pivotal moments that shape our lives; and share how we get past our fears and doubts to go after what we want.    

In this first episode, I delve into some of the significant moments that spurred the learning and growth that brought me to where I am and inform my coaching practice. From my struggles with Epstein-Barr virus and discovering the power of food as medicine, to understanding the value of self-love and personal responsibility through my experience with addiction and divorce, and celebrating the cancer diagnosis that helped thousands of people get healthy.   

If you want to recognize and seize opportunities to get what you want, listen in to get fired up for your next “It Has to be Me.”
