Her & I got to dive into what the last few years have looked like for each of us including:
1. Overcoming nerves of getting on stage.

Powerhouse Women 2024 has come and gone! The energy, the ambiance, the speakers, the vendors, the women in the room....... I could go on and on.

*PSA: If discussions of loved ones passing is too close to your heart, do not hesitate to skip over this episode today.
Is it possible to feel grief & relief at the same time?
Have you thought about death before in a positive light not just in sadness?
Today's episode challenges you to think a little differently as I share a vulnerable experience in real time. So many thoughts & emotions have surfaced the last few weeks that I am only beginning to understand.
More than anything, I do have ONE ASK of you all even if you do not listen to the episode.:
My grandfather fought Parkinson's for over 15 years & I am running in memory of him in January 2025. I am raising $2,000 for the Michael J Fox Foundation who is searching for a cure for Parkinson's.
If you feel called, I would greatly appreciate your support in reaching this goal!
Find my Fundraising page HERE.
So grateful to all of you!
