In this episode, the examples include how to pronounce the words:

• Cultural and Culturally
• Digital and Digitally

Today I’m sharing with you the CRAZIEST thing I’ve ever done and how I moved my entire family to Spain…before even knowing if I would receive the visa. I’ll also share why the power of our thoughts can either limit us, or allow us to take risks we never could have imagined, but get us big results.
