Summary: In Episode 10 of the Savage Babe podcast I talk about the importance of remembering where you started and where you came from. Often times we get so caught up in the moment, we forget how much progress we've made in life over the last several years. My childhood years were pretty rocky, and definitely a lot more to it than I have mentioned here in this podcast, but it's great to remember the hard times, because that's what humbles us in the moment, and helps us to be grateful for where we are today.

Summary: In Episode 4 of the Savage Babe Podcast, I go solo to discuss what being fearless and finding motivation means to me. Fearlessness is not have any fear at all, but feeling that fear, and doing the damn thing anyways. Motivation, on the other hand, comes and goes. You won't always be motivated to do something, but if you create habits in your life, those will essentially take over long after the motivation has disappeared.
