Fly Flamingo Fly

Oh my goodness. What a journey this wild rollercoaster ride is of being an entrepreneur.

I just came out of another "Dark Night of The Soul" phase which SO MUCH feels like burnout when I am in it. But then on the other side I am a completely different person and my downloads just continue to get so much more clear.

I am never the same person AFTER one of these experiences. And honestly, the last year I've got through a few of these 'pin holes' and it's been expansive and exhausting all at the same time.

In this episode I share with you what just went on for me as well as I chit chat about all the other things that relate to it.

AND of course I do a little plug for Living In Balance Seminars as I could not go through these experiences without their support getting me to the other side and moving forward rather than going backwards. 🩵

Also, the CDM Summit is coming up fast on September 17 & 18th and you should come if you are local to Vancouver, BC and surrounding area! 

For my loyal listeners I am giving you 30% off with our code BNL30. 😏

Thank you so much for listening. You all inspire me daily and I am grateful for this community. 🦩
