Journey of a Fearless Female Podcast

Growing up as the middle child out of four children, Paris felt isolated and unappreciated for her achievements whenever she saw her parents give her younger siblings more attention. If she wasn’t getting recognition for her achievements, what was the point? So, she stopped caring about school, started taking drugs, and got pregnant at the age of seventeen. But having her son made her want to be a better person, and gave her the love that she was missing from with her family and abusive boyfriends.

You can find Paris on Instagram @iamparissantiago, on Facebook, and on YouTube, The Paris Experience.

Caroline had thought that she would follow in her father’s footsteps and become a social worker, but after college, she did a 180 and entered into PR and communications instead. After working in the corporate world for a few years, she one day mailed in her office key and resigned, as she had discovered that a 9 to 5 job wasn’t for her. She started on a path of self-discovery that led her to creating her own business as a freelance writer and business coach.

After the New Years, we try to come up with new goals, ones that should be completed by the end of the year. If we don’t reach those goals, we feel like a failure and question why even make such impossible resolutions? Do we dream too big? Should we settle for less? We listen to the naysayers and the Debbie Downers in our life, that prevent us from leaving our comfort zone and to try something new and scary. But we shouldn’t let them discouraged us. Forget those who tell you ‘you can’t’, and to keep listing your resolutions, for one day it might come true.

The new decade is right around the corner and with it comes new goals and new fears. Maybe you are hopeful for 2020; maybe you are dreading it. Maybe you have looked back on 2019 and realized it was a wasted year - that you are not living to your full potential - but you're afraid to make that first step. Maybe you have already made that step, but you failed along the way and are reluctant to try again. But nobody ever succeeded without first trying. As we countdown across the world, let's remind ourselves on the goals we have achieved over the years, instead of regretting the choices we haven't done yet. Happy New Year!
