\u201cThey say when we\u2019re feeling nervous or fearful, often time, the flip side of that is excitement, excitement of the new possibilities we\u2019re expanding into and I definitely say, tap into that source of energy that\u2019s inside you; you have it in you.\u201d\xa0
What a delightful and encouraging conversation this was, one that was so relatable and one that left me feeling like I could give myself the permission and courage to not give up on pursuing and chasing my heart\u2019s desires despite the pressures stemming from our culture conditioning, norms and stereotypes. I love how young yet how in touch she is with her thoughts and feelings and how she was able to channel that into passion to help others just like her.\xa0
