Summary

Want to know how to create success no matter where you’re starting from today? For this special episode I’m sharing my interview on Shift Happens podcast with Alexis Andra. We covered the biggest lessons from my early days that led to the success I’ve created today. We talk about my childhood growing up in a small town in a restrictive religion, the moment I knew I was meant for something different, and how to reinvent your identity from scratch. I also open up about challenges Chris and I have navigated from the financial crisis that forced us to face our relationship with money, to my experience with IVF. This conversation is proof you are often one pivot away from your biggest goals.
