This week’s episode is all about Creativity.
I wanted to get your wheels turning this week. In this episode I share my personal project and the process I took to help realize what was important to me.
As a kid what did you say you wanted to be when you grew up?
Teacher?

Actor?
Maybe you were a kid who didn’t have a typical answer:
A Waitress ?

Ticket booth collector?

Flight Attendant ?

Food tester?
Remember a time in your life when you were proud of yourself. (what about that experience made you proud)
This is just a fun exercise to help you figure out what makes you happy.
