Breaking free from barriers or limitations set by others is a common theme on the Dream Big Podcast.   In this episode, Eva and her sister Sophia share the story of a majestic elephant at a circus who can easily break free of the rope tied to her leg.  But because the elephant was conditioned from a young age to believe that the rope was strong enough to hold her in place, the elephant does not bother to even try to break free.  Eva then applies the lesson of this story to her own life and shares why developing self-belief and perseverance is vital for all our Big Dreamers.  For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/125
