In today’s episode, I'm interviewing my friend Terri Huggins. Terri is a freelance journalist, blogger, dance fitness instructor, and is a self-proclaimed queen of expression who’s convinced life becomes terrific once you say it is. She shares her story on how affirmations with an action plan can actually change your life. We also talk about imposter syndrome which is something we all deal with, motherhood in the pandemic, and why she slowed down her debt repayment for her mental health.

“These inspirational quotes and motivational things, they’re supposed to light the fire. They are not the fire. You are the fire and you have to do something with it.” - Terri Huggins
