If you would have told me a few years ago that I would one day be the host of my own podcast, I probably would have laughed & looked at you as if you were nuts. I never once thought that the girl who religiously listened to Jenna Kutcher & Amy Porterfield on her commute to a soul-sucking corporate job, would one day launch her very own podcast. So what inspired me to finally launch my podcast? And as this podcast title suggests, what almost held me back from starting one in the first place?

Tune into the episode to find out!
