Listen Later

In this powerful conversation, I want to share with you one of the most incredible people, coach Carly Moosah who I had the pleasure of getting to know over the last few years. Carly shares her journey through breast cancer with us, reflecting on lessons in gratitude, joy, and living fully. She talks about her diagnosis, the fear of cancer she had before she was diagnosed even - but most importantly, she shares her journey to finding meaning and fulfilment in every waking day. And now, we can do it too! Enjoy this beautiful conversation.

“Where focus goes, energy flows. And where energy flows, whatever you're focusing on grows. In other words, your life is controlled by what you focus on. That's why you need to focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.”
