In this episode, we dive into Dr. Sonja Stribling's remarkable story of success despite the odds. We discuss how she was able to build a life of passion and success by changing her mindset and then her associations. If you didn't come from a wealthy family, let a wealthy family come from you.

It is more of a wealthy mindset, wealthy relationships, and a balanced, fulfillment-focused lifestyle.People think it's just the money, but it's not. It has a lot to do with mindset.And if that freedom and fulfilling life is not something that you're focused on, you're probably focusing on the wrong thing, and you're not going to get to the level of success that you really deserve.Is it really possible to have it all? In this interview, we will examine how to make the impossible become possible and even inevitable.Key Takeaways:Introduction (0:00)How Sonja's initial challenges defined her path (2:56)Mindset changes don't happen by accident (8:50)Why do we fail at giving ourselves permission to chase our biggest dreams?

Sonja Lischynski lives in Ottawa with her husband, Stefan, and a small chihuahua named Montecristo - who, and this is what Sonja explores in her work — travels internationally with Sonja and does not impede her travel style much at all. And that’s the point of her website, montecristotravels.com — written by montecristo — okay from his perspective— and helping dog owners avoid the pitfall of believing they can’t travel the world and have a dog at the same time.
