Alli shares her story of growing up in Texas and how pushing back on following a traditional path led her to many moments of inspiration that helped shape who she is today.   I am so excited to be sharing my brand new podcast, "True Stories with Alli Forsythe," with YOU! The one thing I've come to realize from working with people all over the world and in many different capacities is that it doesn't matter who you are - a little inspiration and the ability to relate to someone can make a huge impact when there is something you want to achieve in your life. My goal for this podcast is to share stories from people from all walks of life who have accomplished incredible things and at one point or another weren't sure if it was possible. Thank you for joining me on this journey and I hope you enjoy this episode along with the many episodes to come!  xx Alli
