How Vision Boards Can Transform Your Relationships and Set You Up for Success

In this exciting episode of The Juggle Is Real, mom-and-daughter duo Tanya and Sabrina reveal how vision boards can completely change the way you approach relationships, goals, and intentional living.

But this isn’t just another “woo-woo” talk about manifesting. Tanya and Sabrina take a deep dive into the science behind vision boards, including how your Reticular Activating System (RAS) and brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin play a role in making your vision a reality.
