When we are born, we are not able to select who our parents will be or who will raise us. We have no control over those first formative years of our lives. We innocently enter the lives of those who precede us and oversee making our life decisions. In other words, they make our choices. Their choices affect our direction, until we are able and old enough to do so ourselves.

My guest in this episode, Summer Watson experienced life circumstances because of the choices of others. The beauty in her story is that she realized that their choices would not dictate who she would become. Instead, she persevered and made her own choices that would impact her professionally, personally and drive her to success.
