Did you get the memo or do you feel like you missed something? Today\\u2019s guest admits that for a long time, she felt that she had totally missed the memo. But in reality, she just hadn\\u2019t made her own yet.

Today\\u2019s guest is Yemi Penn, an engineer by profession, a fascinating and successful entrepreneur, author, speaker, and transformation mindset coach. In our conversation, Yemi helps us understand transformation and how we can make the necessary shifts to feeling empowered.

Yemi uses the \\u201cmemo\\u201d comparison to life because many of us feel or have felt at some point that we\\u2019re not living life the way we should. We might feel like we\\u2019re not on the right path or that it\'s too late to make a change. But as Yemi explains in this episode, it\\u2019s never too late to start trusting yourself.

So did you get the memo? Don\\u2019t worry if you\\u2019ve missed it because it probably wasn\\u2019t for you anyway. Let\\u2019s get started writing your own memo.
