The final episode of the Ladies Night Series touches on something that no matter what stage of life you are at, we all need to be aware of and want to do better with.

Part 3 of the Ladies Night Series will hit you right in the heart and something you may really need in your life if you are lacking it. I'm talking about creating and cultivating deep soul-filling connections no matter where you are. The power of social media is real and it can allow you to connect to people you want to surround yourself with. To have deep connections with people takes time but it also takes you starting, saying that you want to surround yourself with more inspiring and like-minded people. I want to explain how I evolved in this area of my life when I moved to Los Angeles and how it was so impactful in my life.

Everyone's dream life is different and unique. Like Gary V said, "Your dreams don't have to be "big" they just have to be yours." So many people are walking around without a clearly defined direction for their life and while it will evolve and progress, you will enviably burn out if you don't have the end vision in mind. In this episode, I want to share with you my original path of engineering and why that was my path. I then want to explain how online fitness coaching came into my life, the obstacles of choosing this road, how no matter how old you are you can still have a unique vision for your life, and what questions you should ask yourself to help you determine your unique vision.

I'm so excited for her to share with you what she has planned and I know you will get a lot of value out of it. Today's episode centers around peace with your body and how to tangibly make progress with this area of life. I think for those who have struggled in this area of life, it is hard to measure improvement and it's easy to look at this in a binary way of either I hate my body or I love it.

This is a special episode for me and I am excited to bring it to you today.

I am so excited to be bringing you a new style of format for the podcast I know you will enjoy! This is Part 1 of a 3 Part series diving into the topic of vision, motivation, and optimism. This first episode framed the series and discusses how your vision for yourself is a key indicator of your success. I discuss both the power and value of your vision, why you will never be truly happy if you keep using "er" in your life, and practically why most people fail.
