You can either CHOOSE to care what other people think about you, or not. It's more easier said than done but when there is a choice THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. And that's what I want you to see. 

We're all on our own timeline. But it's easy to compare your "successes" in your timeline to other people's timelines and that's when we need to redirect our focus. I'm no master at this but that's the KEY. It's all progress. This episode is me practicing that honesty with myself, to hopefully encourage you to do the same. 

When you create a goal, do you also create a timeline for it? A timeline that includes the last day being the day you FINALLY made it? I think that's setting us up for failure. The gold isn't at the finish line. 

I'm on a journey of changing the way we ask the daunting, suffocating question of "what do you want to be when you grow up?". The first piece to that process involves sharing stories, exposing that many of us don't have a linear trajection between the moment we answer that and our end goal. In this episode I interview Marelle Bailey, who shares insight on how confidence, a support system, and being honest with yourself will allow for you to end up in a job you truly enjoy. 

#morningmagz will be me sharing a thought to start your day. Typically motivational. Always thought provoking. 

In light of my last episode on "I feel like I chose the wrong degree" I wanted to share individual's stories on how they answered that question the first time around. My hope is that those who are currently being asked this question for the first time realize that the answer they first give can and will change and that is expected. My first guest, owner of Consciously Choreographed Community, Brenda Perez De Tejada tells the audience what she originally wanted to be when she was asked this million dollar question in her younger years. She discusses the experiences that led her to starting her own business, and what those experiences have taught her. 

If you knew what you wanted to do for the rest of your life at 18, this episode is not for you. But, if you still struggle with what your dream career may look like, or sometimes get down on yourself for not pursuing another degree - this one is for you. 

How often do you prioritize your dreams? More than your 9-5? I know it isn't possible to match those 40 hours at your 9-5 (just yet) but you need to start making the transition possible. Here's how. 

A little bit of motivation, life lessons, entrepreneurship, with a WHOLE DASH OF personality..this episode lays out what the future of Creating Connections looks like!
