A co-worker asked me this week “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

This stumped me. And I didn’t answer it the same way I would now. Having time to think about it, I am instead focusing on what I want I want life to look like and how I am going to create it.

Step 1: I am going to use Pinterest to create an inspirational board of “What I want my life to look like”.

Step 2: Use this board to communicate what I want for my future to my co-worker.

Step 3: Discuss with same co-worker how the future I am working at creating fits together with my career with the company.

Life is forever changing, but living it with intention, purpose and kindness is always going to be true. So this is where I choose to live every single day.

What do you want your life to be and how can you create it?

I was so excited to talk to the Stolbie Sisters for this episode of the podcast. (I tried not to fan girl out!)

Learning to re-parent my inner child has had a huge impact on my growth.

I talk about how having a physical object that I could actually hold allowed me to process my trauma and hold my child self in order for that important part of myself to heal.

Nats Getty released a beautiful statement about looking inwards and finding themselves. So happy for them!
"I am transgender, non-binary. I have spent my entire life not in sync with the body I was born with and confined by an outwardly appearance that did not match my mind or soul. It wasn't until recently that I was even comfortable admitting this to myself, once I was able to look inwards and truly reflect on my authentic self."
