Join us as we have a great conversation with professional speaker - and advocate for women and girls - Mary Messner this week.  Mary is a guest who consistently inspires her audience through storytelling, humor, and emotion.

This week on our show, Mary shares perspectives about her pivotal career shift to now sought-after keynote speaker - and brings the goods on her methodology:

DREAM
FEEL
CREATE

Get that big dream on paper, and be very clear about what it would feel like to create it!

Learn how to be guided to live into your dreams - and not just goals and checklists - with authenticity and ease.

In this episode, Erika and Mary uncover why asking for help results in an immediate response and the humility to say "I feel out of balance, help me figure it out" is a GOOD THING! The permission to be yourself, ask for what you need and expect the best are waiting for you.

On the cusp of 2025, prepare to make the next year as powerful and aligned as ever - with Erika and Mary's inspiration right there with you.
