If you listened carefully to our previous episode, you may have picked up on a clue about this episode’s guest. Rachel Marie Martin is an author and blogger who famously wrote: "Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought life would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living." Join us as Rachel dives deeper into finding joy and getting your spark back!

This podcast is for you if you believe that:

● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

● There’s more than enough for everyone.

● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.

● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.
