In this episode I interview my old friend Sara Mains, who has always followed her own path. We talk about getting out of your head and into your body to listen and feel for next steps. She is a 5Rhythms dance instructor and owns Moon Mountain Highway, a retail shop and studio in Washington State. We talk about how there is no one way to manifest your dreams. Just start imagining it and take little steps. Small steps add up to miles traveled toward to your goal.
