Do you have people in your life that seem to be doing it all and you wonder how in the world they make it happen?  I have chosen to surround myself with friends, mentors, and influential figures who make me ask this question regularly.  Instead of wondering, I've started asking. How You Get There is a space where we have intentional, vulnerable conversations and demystify the secret sauce. Then we unpack exactly how much hard work and sacrifice it takes to get where you want to be in your life.  Sometimes, that may be as simple as figuring out how someone wakes up without snoozing in the morning, but other times it will be how in the world did they turn that side hustle into an empire. We all have dreams of reaching goals and making our fantasy lifestyles our reality.  Let's talk abou How You Get There together. After a life crisis at 22 fueled by a failed career path, health issues, and a complete loss of my sense of self I have been on an endless journey of self disovery to purposefully craft the ever evolving life of my dreams.  Since then I have found fulfilment, purpose, and confidence like never before, but the crazy part is my circumstances didn't change ALL that much from the outside looking in--especially not at first. I believe we can all create extrodinary experiences from intentional choices in all moments of our ordinary lives.  It doesn't take a life alterning event for you to change your own life.  Lets ask questions that most are afraid to and push each other to actually build the life we dream about.
