A little bit of Monday morning motivation as you move through your day and week!

Life comes at us from all angles at times. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, but they're often other times when we just feel a bit stretched. I have to look at my own life at times and determine whether I'm being overwhelmed by life or just stretched my life... How about you?

In this episode I share three emotional examples of how I know when it's time for me to step into the next big opportunity. these three signs will help you know if you need to wait and gain more experience, move forward because you have the confidence in spite of the fear, or take the big leap and go for it!

My story and journey in the moment.

Don't make excuses... find the time!

In this episode I work through my own mental trip on how we can limit ourselves from experiencing true growth.

In this episode I interviewed Marina Forster, a brilliant 25 year old woman who is living her best life! In our interview she shares candidly about growing up, life lessons learned, and what it means to live a Big Life even during these uncertain times. Marina also gave us her perspective on being a teenager and what her parents did to give her the love and support she needed growing up. She also shared great tips for parents that are raising children who are in competitive sports! So much wisdom to gleaned from this interview. Enjoy!

** There is a little bit of audio challenges throughout portions of this interview, but it is so worth the listen. I organically record my interviews in the midst of my own full and busy life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! #MommaOnAMission! Enjoy! Such a fun interview with Yohana Valdez! She is an amazing woman & #MommaOnAMission! Yohana (Yaya) is a lawyer, wife, and a mother of two. I was inspired by her story, her authenticity, and her openness as she shares her story, life lessons, and how she is adjusting to being a new mother during quarantine. Sit back and relax and grab your favorite warm beverage as you listen to my interview with Yohana Valdez in My Life Beyond The Brush!
