Have you ever wondered what makes athletes SO successful when they take on endeavors off the field?

Despite their insane talent, it's not necessarily because they're the best at what they do...

It's because of the skills + mindset that many of these athletes have adopted THROUGH their sport. 

As former athletes, we can attest to the idea that athletics have absolutely transformed into our secret sauce to pursue our dreams. 

+ whether you've grown up with a sport or not, these traits can be a distinguishing factor -- and major influence -- for you to go after your own dreams, too!

To hear about the lessons and skills from the field that have translated into some major successes, tune into episode 32 of Business Big Sister!

We get it. Boundaries can feel scary.

They can feel like they're jeopardizing your relationships with others and holding you back, or even make you feel guilty for not always being 'on'.

The truth is, boundaries are healthy - and they SHOULD be made. Think of it as holding yourself accountable; yes, you want to show up, but not at the cost of your mental and physical well-being.

Today, Kelly and Amy are sharing how you can start to implement healthy boundaries in your day-to-day that speak true to what you need, so you can continue showing up as your best self.

If money was no object...

• What would your day-to-day look like?
• Who would you be spending time with?
• What would you be striving for?
