In this episode, I am celebrating and sharing that it has been 4 years since my 6x Bestselling Book Release, When She Stopped Asking Why. I am a completely different person since that book release and I am so grateful for this experience. I wanted to share some lessons that still ring true for me, some new lessons, the power of asking different questions, and how the dots always connect even when we don’t think they ever will make sense. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) I wrote my book to help myself to heal and to help others never feel that they are alone. When you write it with that intention, you learn to let go of what others might think.

2) I have let go of the needing to be the perfectionist, in fact, I have almost let go of her completely.

3) I am so grateful that I put my own healing ahead of building a business, we always go first.

4) We never know who will be impacted by our story. Someone somewhere is praying for the solutions we are holding onto.

5) This started the journey of helping other women learn how to share their stories, and this is truly a fire I love being a part of!

6) There is no easy way through doing the work. It is messy, hard, ugly, and through is the only way.

7) There are gifts in all of us and from all of our experiences. It is our choice whether we use them or not.

8) We can always choose our hard. Staying stuck is hard, and moving forward is hard, we get to choose which one we want.

9) Our stories happen to us for a reason, we choose to see the reason or we can ask different questions as to what is this teaching us.

10) Some of the most impactful people in our life, or the people we are meant to impact are people we haven’t even met yet. They are waiting for us to go first.

11) If you are not in a place of believing in yourself, surround yourself with people with who you can borrow their belief and then know that you will pay it to forward to someone else one day.

12) We are always capable of more than we think. We are our biggest limitation.

13) The dots always connect somewhere, have faith that this dot today will connect to somewhere in your future. Be the first to know
