If change were easy everyone would be a risk taker and achieve their wildest dreams but
our bodies quite literally dislike change...it's uncomfortable. So we stay in our comforts settling until the universe pushes us hard enough to go in a different direction.

This is the story of how I made the decision to move from Denver back to my hometown in Texas. I hope you find what you're seeking for in this audio.
Much love,
