Last week I launched my brand new membership site, Project Storyline, and it was a game-changer. My goal was to welcome in 800 new members, and we ended up welcoming in more than 1,000! It was an incredible accomplishment and experience, and in this episode I take you behind-the-scenes of what it was *really* like.

In this episode, I talk to you about the ins and outs of the last week of my life, about launching Project Storyline for the very first time, all of the synchronicities going on, the power in choosing to see things in your business in a particular way, the power of bringing together all of the puzzle pieces of problem-solving, seeing every problem as an opportunity, and trusting in the process. I think you're going to LOVE it.

I'M IN MY LAST WEEK OF MY 20'S. This week feels particularly special to me, as I say goodbye to my 20s and hello to my 30s, and I wanted to honor that here on the podcast. So what did I do? I sat down and wrote out every single thing that I could remember about my 20s, broken down into years 20-29. And WHOA. What incredible exercise that was! It felt so healing and so reflective to look back at my 20's and to be present with all of the lessons I learned that I'll be taking with me into my thirties. I'M PUMPED!
