How do you eat an elephant? I know it’s a bit weird to ask that question, but with all the challenges we’ve faced in the last 18 months it seemed relevant that it came up in this episode... there’s been so much overwhelm, pressure, and anxiety just for starters. 

SO how do you eat an elephant? The answer is “just one bite at a time.” 

In today’s episode, I am joined by a very special guest, who is also a beautiful friend of mine, Gillian Stapleton — CEO of Direct Selling Australia. We talk about almost everything from running marathons to running a business, taking leaps of faith, and rising up against the challenges.

It was so lovely chatting with Gillian as she drops tons of valuable takeaways. Get your pen and paper ready as we chat along, and be sure to take note of those truth bombs. Tune in and enjoy!
