Hey P.U.S.H Project PodCast Family! :)

Please welcome Alma Guerrero (and her super cute bird 'KIWI'),  originally from Mexico, and now living in Chicago, USA, to Episode 24 of the PodCast.

Alma talks about some of her journey to becoming, and being, a YouTuber. She shares about becoming more vulnerable, and being honest with herself, and the world, online, starting to share the 'real' her, and all of the parts of her life, the good, the bad, and the challenging, as a way to really show that people who live with Spina Bifida can thrive.

She talks about how opening up has allowed her to not only build a platform around her YouTube, but to also inspire several moments, and people, who she's received emails and messages from since starting her YouTube Channel, that have showed her that she's really creating an impact through her story, and platform online.

Alma talks about her biggest dream & goal in life,  to find happiness, and talks about what discovering Happiness looks like to her, as well as how she manages the attention  (both good and bad/constructive) that she gets online.

Go check Alma Guerrero out on YouTube!

Alma, thank you so much for doing all of the incredible things you're doing online, and in the world.
