In this episode, Tammi shares with us how her mission and vision became a reality. How she was able to build an organization that truly cares and empowers. This time, she can really say she has it all.

You were put here for a reason. Find your purpose, and figure out how you can share it with the world. - Tammi

Stanton Varnadoe is a successful interior designer and event planner who has been in business since 1978. He has also been involved in other areas of design for the most part of his life. And a huge part of his success he achieved through a form of manifestation, scripting.

Scripting is a technique used in manifestation wherein you put your dreams in writing. Writing in detail about what you want in life, in other words writing your own story.

In this episode, Stan shares with us how scripting can change someone’s life. How to let go of negativities, stay positive, be grateful, and write about the dreams you’ve always wanted. Scripting is all about the law of attraction, and you are the only person who can write your story.

We can't hold on to negative energy. It will destroy you. - Stan

A year of Second Wind has come and gone. So far, there have been 85 women and a few men I have conversed with and with whom I have built friendships with. I have learned so much and still continue to learn. 

Personally, it has been a challenging year for me. Finding my own way into podcasting and how it works and how much it costs is one. Dealing with an emergency surgery for my mother for about two months and flying back and forth New Jersey was another. Lastly, having my own case of COVID in August, recovering from that and then in the beginning October, I had a horrible reaction to what I thought was monosodium glutamate, but it wasn't until I found out I had Lyme’s disease. It’s a really long journey. However, because of the Second Wind, and all of the challenges, I am a totally different person handling it.

In this episode, Anne Claessen of the Podcast Babes interviews me. We talked about the year and the lessons and the action items that I didn't even know I had learned that she brought out. And all I can say now is how blessed I feel to be able to have this platform and the fabulous people who entered my life. I have learned to be intentional, mindful and present each and every day.
