Ladies, have you ever wanted to learn something new but for some reason, you had a feeling in the pit of your stomach that you were going to fail? I remember that feeling all too well...

When I first started learning things about car repair and maintenance I was nervous that I was going to fail or mess something up along the way. During that season, do you know what I learned? I learned that the feeling in my stomach and the thoughts in my head that were telling me that I was going to fail were a lie. The truth is, if we shut out the voices and overcome the fear of failure we become truly unstoppable.

We want to help you become unstoppable! That is why today I have my dear friend and one of our Ladies Kar Care Community Expert Alyssa Knowlton joining me on the show.

Alyssa is a lifelong lover of science, a wife and a proud stay-at-home mom of 3 beautiful kids. After her husband started having health complications and the family car needed a new engine, Alyssa had to take things into her own hands.

Hear how Alyssa found YouTube videos, joined online communities and asked questions to friends in the industry and more to build her knowledge base on car care and maintenance. Now Alyssa is the go-to expert for her friends and family with their car troubles This journey from clueless to confidence is the perfect story for anyone who wants to learn more about their car but may feel like they don’t know where to start.

You will also hear how Alyssa and her husband create an “I can learn anything” culture in their family so their kids will never be afraid to learn something new.
