Walk with me as I grow through my first 4 months into a new pivot where I explore the pivot, the journey, the rethinking and all the things that come with being confident enough to make a new pivot (22 years into my career!) with all of the confidence, imposter syndrome and all the good stuff in between it takes to take the leap! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suhail-johnson2/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suhail-johnson2/support

Today is the present. The present is a gift. Treat today as a gift because it is the present. And today is all about time. Time as a gift. Time as one of the only real things we HAVE to GIVE. Is there alignment between what you say you live and how you invest/gift your time? Are you on the list of things you say you love and to which you gift your time? Let's go there…together…because time, because love ❤️ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suhail-johnson2/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suhail-johnson2/support
