When you were a kid you probably heard the saying “knowledge is power.” It is not until you become an adult that you understand how true that saying actually is. Knowledge has the ability to help you out of a sticky situation, it can help prevent being taken advantage of, it can help you make more informed decisions and so much more.

When it comes to cars, we know that education is important for our safety on the road but empowering yourself with automotive knowledge can seem like a daunting task. What if there was a way to learn what you needed to without having to become a car expert or know every part of your car bumper to bumper?

On today’s episode, we talk with Gwendolyn Gay a content creation strategist and coach, TV host, and acting founder of Simplified Content. Gwendolyn is a wife and mother of two, she enjoys taking road trips with her family and learning more about maintaining her vehicle. You’ll hear from Gwendolyn about how she knew when it was time to take responsibility for her car and how she navigated the struggle of back and forth with mechanics who thought they could take advantage. 

Listen in as we talk about the time Gwendolyn felt empowered by fixing her own car with no experience whatsoever, as well as advice on how you can gain confidence and learn about anything you want, and how you may even empower others when you step out and learn something new! 

You may want to share this with a friend because it is packed with fun and encouragement to step out and learn more about your car. To learn more about Gwendolyn and follow her journey check out the links below!
