When you're in the middle of a challenging situation, it can feel like your life is over. But in retrospect, those difficulties—and how we respond to them—can help us get closer to who we're destined to be. And if you're doing it right, the tough times will deepen your bonds with the people who really matter and give rise to a new vision for your life.

On this episode of Destined to Be, we're sharing Mallory's journey as an entrepreneur, wife and mother, describing how each of her businesses have focused on helping people change their lives for the better. You'll find out about her upper-middle-class upbringing in a close-knit, entrepreneurial family and discover how her childhood shaped her identity as an overachiever.

We also explore what inspired Mallory to help women succeed, first as a certified personal trainer and then as a leader in the world of network marketing. Listen in as Mallory gets real about her difficult experience with pregnancy and postpartum depression and learn how we design our own destiny as a couple, leveraging challenges to strengthen our connection and build a vision for the future.
