In this week's episode, I'm getting really honest (and kind of deep) with you guys to share why I have such little tolerance for excuses.

I know I can come across as insensitive and cold at times, but this is only because I’m not willing to buy into the excuse that you can’t do, have and be everything you desire. I’m walking proof that your circumstances don’t dictate your results.

Tune into this episode to uncover some nuggets of truth about my backstory and upbringing that have shaped my beliefs, and real examples of when I’ve observed people hiding behind excuses vs stretching themselves and accomplishing their goals.
