Speaker 1:

Hi, friends, and welcome to Believe Like a Boss. I'm your host Life Coach, nandu Kamil. Join me as I teach you how to smash your goals and expand the possibility of your life through mindset management, spiritual alignment and authentic action. I'll teach you how to create what I like to call a life of thrive, with ease and authenticity. It's time to play with what's possible. Are you ready? Let's go.

Speaker 2:

Hello, hello, hello, welcome back to another episode of Believe Like a Boss. I am your host, life Coach, nandu Kamil, and, as always, I'm so grateful, thankful and excited to have you all here for another episode. Every time I say that I really do think. When was the first time I ever said that? Because when I started the podcast, I did not use to say that and it just became this catchphrase, probably over the last year, year and a half of me saying that. But, like I say every time, it's true, I was so grateful, thankful and excited to have you guys for another episode, and actually I was thinking about whether or not this was going to be the last episode of season five, and I'm not going to lie y'all, I got a little bit sad. I was like it makes sense for this to be the last season. I'm sorry the last episode of season five, because we're getting near the holidays, like it feels like a really good time to put a pin in it. But I'm not going to lie, y'all, there's something in me that's like but there's a few more episodes that people need to hear before the end of this year, so this will not be the last episode of 2023, though I do feel like we're getting closer to the last episode of 2023 before we get into 2024. And maybe there's a reality where I don't stop season five at 30 sessions, like I've done the rest of them. Every other season I've done anywhere from 20 to 30 sessions and I believe this is episode 23 of season five. So we're getting there and it's definitely that time of the year, but I'm really still enjoying doing these episodes and I'm not feeling like season five is complete, so we're going to chug on and we're going to keep going. So I had a different episode planned for y'all today.

Speaker 2:

I've been talking about different themes that I've been working on with clients being assertive, how to sign clients, both on the mindset and energetic side, and then on the practical side, and really, truly, I feel like that's scratching the surface, but I do feel like the mindset, the mindset part is so important I feel like it gets missed. There's so much research we can do when it comes to marketing and sales that you can watch YouTube videos all day long, but I don't know that there's as much mindset about marketing and mindset about sales and mindset of standing in your power as a leader in your industry, and that's what we talked about a few weeks ago. This week I was going to talk a little bit more about being proactive, because that's another theme that's coming up for my clients but what I wanted to do instead, what I'm feeling called to do instead, I want to do that episode. I've already written it out, I already have the notes, so it's happening. But this week I wanted to spend some time.

Speaker 2:

For anybody that's maybe new to the podcast or just doesn't know about me personally as a life coach, I wanted to spend some time telling my backstory, just having some story time. I think that the holiday season makes me feel really excited about story time. It's when you have the family around. You might not do stories so much around Thanksgiving, but Christmas time. I know that in my family at least, it's not like we all gathered around. My mom read us a Christmas story, but my mom always read us books all year round and I just feel like, especially during the holidays, I really loved the books that we would read and sit together as a family and just enjoy. And so, in that story time type mode, I wanted to tell you all the story of how I became a life coach, how I do as a life coach and just who I am as a human being on the planet, how we got to this point. Here I am 30 years old, with a podcast that has over 10,000 downloads, five seasons in. I'm also opening up a school, so we're going to zoom all the way out and we're going to work our way back to where I am right now how I became a life coach in the first place. So to begin this story, I'm going to go all the way back to my childhood. I recently did this past summer a podcast. I was a guest on a podcast and they were asking a lot of questions about when I was a child and just how I became a life coach, and I don't think that I had articulated that story to anybody prior to that podcast. It was health or high water. Highly recommend. It was a really great series to gentlemen that's focused on health and fitness and when they asked me where I started, it was wonderful because I got to go all the way back to the beginning and where I started was an elementary school.

Speaker 2:

I started falling in love with personal development and people and humans at a very young age. I remember going into the library and elementary school and being drawn towards chicken noodle soup for the soul, loved that series. If anybody else knows that series, please send me an email if you love that too. Hello at nandikamillecom. Let's talk about chicken noodle soup for the soul. I loved, loved that series and I remember at a young age just reading through all of these stories of different ages and things, and they had chicken noodle soup for the kids and for teens and they had it on grieving and they had it on very specific topics and I loved all of these books. I loved the stories that people would tell whether they were heartbreaking, or it was heartbreaking and then it got better, or it was just a really lovely story or a mix of all of the above. I loved reading these stories and that was my first inclination towards personal development, towards being a helper in that way. It was also a Girl Scout.

Speaker 2:

I was also in JPO, so JPO was junior police officer and I was the captain of my JPO team and so, as you look back on my childhood, I was mentally interested in very spiritual and mindful and neuroscience and connectivity based things and then, if you look at what I was doing in the world, I was a JPO captain, junior police officer captain. I was in student council, so I was stepping into leadership roles actively as a child from fourth grade. I started in fourth grade. That was my first leadership role. I was our class representative when I was in the fourth grade and it was actually a competition. I didn't run unopposed, I ran against. His name was oh, it was either Galen or Gaylord, and I feel bad that I cannot remember it, but I went against him and I won. And ever since then and that was the same time I was the JPO captain, fourth grade on I was so hooked on personal development, human psychology and leadership. It was very, very clear to me.

Speaker 2:

So then at 12, I became certified as a babysitter by the Red Cross the American Red Cross and then I started my first business at 12 years old. So I'm kind of stirring this all together. The concoction that is Nandi, how do I become a life coach? Why is it that I love to work with women who are interested in leadership and business? This all goes way, way back to my childhood. So at 12 I had started my first business as a babysitter and it was babysitting the other officers in the area.

Speaker 2:

My dad was a naval officer. We were in the military. We were in the military. I was a military dependent. My dad was in the Navy. We moved every four years. And so, to give you the gambit, I was born in Georgia, moved to Virginia, florida, rhode Island, california, hawaii, japan and then back to Florida and then from Florida, went to high school and college there and then moved to Colorado. So that's why I'm in Colorado now. So that's my whole like a bounce around a lot.

Speaker 2:

And every four years when we would move, I would join the local student council, I would join the local clubs, and it did not matter that. I was brand new. I moved to Japan when I was going into the sixth grade, I was starting middle school and Months into the sixth grade I did not know anybody. Student council what are they? Elections are coming up. I know no one. I don't know anybody. But I ran for student council because I loved leadership positions, I loved having control, I loved being a decision maker and I loved connecting with my peers. I was a really easy way for me to connect with my peers and you guys, I won. I won secretary of student council my sixth grade year, my first year when I got to Japan and, from there, just continue to be in student council roles.

Speaker 2:

Or I was the choreographer for my sixth grade dance team. I was the choreographer. I wasn't a part of the dance team. I was the choreographer for my sixth grade dance team. My sister can vouch for me because she was on the dance team with me, so I would get the practice together, I would design the choreography and I would teach it. So that's my background.

Speaker 2:

As a child, I was just always drawn to these things that you go fast forward to college and, like I said, I started when I was 12, babysitting and loved children. Loved early childhood, really Truly to this day love children. Hence why I'm starting a school now. Love early childhood. The first seven years of a life is when our foundation is built and there's so much to learn there, there's so much to create in those first seven years. Of course, we have a lifetime, but those first seven years are extra magical. There's like it's very difficult for any human being to be around a baby, a smiling, happy baby, two-year-old, three-year-old, four-year-old, five-year-old and be upset. Those ages just bring so much joy and I've always been so drawn to them.

Speaker 2:

So I'm getting my degree in education. I'm in college. Now this is 2011. I'm getting my degree in education and when I was getting my degree in education, I went to a job fair, because you know, hustler over here went to the job fair a few weeks into college and they say, who wants to work outside? And this is at the. I went to Florida Atlantic, using Florida Atlantic University, excuse me, and we are located in Boca Raton, florida. So I was an owl whoo-hoo'd go owls Down in South Florida, went over to the rec center and they said, okay, who wants to work outside? And so I raised my hand. I ended up a little spoiler alert. I Ended up working like five different jobs at the rec center. I was a cycling instructor, I was a rec center manager, so I managed the whole rec center. I was not the only. I was on a team of managers. I also ran the ropes challenge course and I ran the front desk as well, or worked the front desk. So I wore many hats when I worked at the rec center over the past, or my entire college career, hence why? Now you'll see that I've also top bar. I've taught indoor cycling.

Speaker 2:

Physical fitness is also a part of what I love and I think it actually. I know it actually helps me to be a better coach, helps me to be the very best coach I can be, because while I do talk about mindset and We'll talk about leadership and career in my coaching we also talk about body and fitness and my background as both a Rope challenge course instructor, cycling instructor, bar instructor all of that has helped me help better help my clients. So I go to the rec center and they say, hey, who wants to work outside? Or raise my hands third time I'm saying this now and and I ended up working on the ropes challenge course at the time I had no idea what I was getting into, what it was about, what was about to happen. They just said who likes to work outside? I'm in hot-ass, florida and raised my hand and said me, and I loved it.

Speaker 2:

I started as a belay master, and a belay master is the person that you see that stands at the base of a rock wall and Just send somebody up and down a rock-facing wall like an indoor climbing gym. So I started as a belay master. You're learning, not to learning basic safety, you're learning how to you know, send somebody up and down A wall. I am all of I don't know, in college I did gain the freshman 15 and then some, but I'm above 45, carrying people that are probably not twice my size, but almost right. So you're learning all of these things and I loved it again. I love physical fitness, I love being outside, I love connectivity. But then, beyond that, I was introduced to the ropes challenge course. All right, beyond the physical fitness of climbing up and down the rock wall, I was introduced to our challenge course, which, in that space, it was all in the same space.

Speaker 2:

But when you're doing more than belay, being a belay master, when you're a facilitator, that's the next role I was introduced to. As a facilitator, you're facilitating Conversations and I was thinking that these were gonna be just games like. You're facilitating games and people have to figure out things on the ground. We're gonna run them around the ropes course. It's that, and I would have ESPN Jamba juice.

Speaker 2:

Different executives from around the state, different groups from around the state, and our number one client were halfway homes that were all around us. Those are young adults, teens, that are dealing with substance abuse, mental health, things of that nature, and they live in a home together and they would come every single week. So I'm seeing executives. I'm seeing children that are dealing with mental health things. I'm seeing all sorts of different people from different backgrounds, but all of them come to this Ropes Challenge course to see me or to see whatever facilitator I organized because they ended up being the manager of the Ropes Challenge course to either unpack communication.

Speaker 2:

This is a new group of leaders. That was the initiative when I had the Jamba Juice group come to me. It was all of the new managers from around the entire state of Florida and the initiative was hey, these are all new leaders, we want them to get to know each other really well and we want them to break the ice and we want them to grow their voice as a leader. And so then it's my job as the facilitator to get the information from the group and then design a day, whether it's a half day or full day. A half day is four hours, a full day is eight hours. Design a half day or full day that is tailored to that group's needs, whether it's communication or leadership or just to have fun, because we would have camps that came out. Whatever it was. Design that day and what we would end up doing is doing a half day on the ground and a half day in the air. Whether it was four hours or eight hours, the half day that's on the ground is really where I fell in love with coaching. This is where I have I still have these things.

Speaker 2:

I have a whole slew of things in my home, all of these Ropes, course tools that I've picked up along the way that I'll use sometimes for in-person groups. But one of the things that we learned was a game called consensus not and there's one rope that goes through, call it, four other ropes. There's only one that goes through all of them. The rest of them might go through one or two or might not go through any of the others, but there's one that goes through all of them, and what I would do is tie the one through all of them and then you scramble them up. It's just a bunch of ropes tied together and you kind of throw them on the ground and make it look kind of silly crazy. You then bring the group over and you ask the group which rope goes through all of the rest of the ropes. They cannot touch the ropes, they just have to look at the ropes and they have to communicate with each other to come to a conclusion.

Speaker 2:

These were sort of these were sort of some of the things that we're doing on the ground, these on the ground initiatives, and I loved it. It made I saw people think in different ways. It made people think in different ways than they normally think. It made people communicate in different ways than they normally communicate. It made people talk about things that they don't normally talk about. When I would have the halfway homes and I would have these young adults coming in that are around my age right, I'm 18, 19, 20, 21, when I'm doing these ropes challenge course days and the teens are anywhere from I'd say, my youngest is probably 13, to the oldest being my age, and so I'm talking to them about life, how do you feel in your home? Do you feel like you get to speak up? Because once we would finish something like consensus knot, we'd all come over, we'd walk away from the initiative, we'd sit in a circle and we would talk about what happened. Do you feel like you had a voice in that exercise? Do you feel like you spoke up in that exercise? Do you feel like you wanted to speak up? Do you feel like the group worked together? What would you have done differently? And these are the questions that we would unpack as a group.

Speaker 2:

And I'm getting my degree in education while I'm working on this ropes challenge course. But I remember sitting on that ropes course thinking, oh my gosh, why aren't I learning this in school how to have hard conversations, how to unpack hard things, how to talk about the truth, how to talk about how we feel, how to navigate emotions why aren't I learning about this in school? Now I'm not gonna what was the word I wanna use? I'm not gonna bash my education degree. Actually, I'm so proud of my degree in education and where it's taken me and what I've done with it. I actually think that it's made me a better coach because I understand how to educate people. I understand how to teach, so I think that it helps when I'm teaching mindset and I'm teaching neuroscience because I have a background in education. But my running joke ever since then has been I have two degrees, and one's in ropes challenge courses and one is in education, and that is what sparked my love of life coaching. Those conversations that I was having on that ropes challenge course sparked it.

Speaker 2:

So I graduate in 2015 with my degree in education and I came out to Colorado for a two week trip. If you've listened to my date like a boss episodes, I think that I mentioned it in there. But I was only out here in Colorado for a two week trip to visit my grandparents and that was my mom's idea. She was like, why not, instead of your grandparents buying two tickets out to come to Florida, why don't you just ask them to buy you one ticket to go to Colorado? I was like, oh my gosh, mom, that's a great idea. And at the time I had contemplated moving to Colorado. I had subscribed to the tourism section of Colorado and I even had a pamphlet mailed to my Florida home that was all about like Colorado tourism. So I'd been thinking about it. But I came out for a two week trip, met my now husband, tyler, didn't go home, and so here I am now. I'm in Colorado and I'm getting to know my new environment and I'm trying to build a life out here. I've just graduated from college.

Speaker 2:

I ended up getting what was one of my first jobs. I ended up working at a local gym and I'm actually still friends with the owner of that local gym. She's a very good friend of mine and I'm so grateful that we've stayed in touch. My next job after that was a preschool teacher and while I was teaching preschool, I was also working at not my gym, I was. That was my first job. I was working at bar, at Pure Bar, and I actually before years, before I ever started teaching bar as a bar instructor, I was what's called a bar tender and that's the person that sits at the front desk. That's the front desk person. So I was a bartender for Pure Bar and I'm so blessed by that studio. That studio has blessed my life in more ways than one Shout out to Kristen Bayliss and Pure Bar Belmar, because it has blessed my life in more ways than I can count.

Speaker 2:

But I'm working the front desk and we had an annual retreat and even as a bartender I got to go. It wasn't that it was just the teachers, it was the whole team. So I go to this retreat. We're in the mountains and we ended up doing this circle vision board party. There's a group of us and it's the whole team. It's all the teachers and the other bartenders and the owner and the manager and we're all doing these vision boards and the owner, kristen, has not ordered but scheduled for this coach, theresa Coltrane, to come in. She's like, oh yeah, the life coach is coming at this time, or I'm gonna sit and we're gonna talk, and da, da, da da, and it piqued my interest. I said a life coach? Oh, okay, cool, I'm really looking forward to that. I don't know what that is, I don't know what we're doing, but that sounds like a lot of fun.

Speaker 2:

In the background, I have started my blog, aloha Nandi. So I'm teaching, I am working part-time at this bar studio. I'm making this blog because I just love talking about life and I just wanna share my story, and so I've started the Aloha Nandi blog. We're going around and the life coach shows up Theresa Coltrane, and we're all sitting and we're talking about what we want and what's important to us and in that moment it was that moment I said that's it, this is it. I wanna do what she is doing. I want to be a life coach. I wanna host vision board parties. I wanna talk to people about their feelings. This is what it is. This is what I was doing on the Robe's Challenge course, but I wanna do it with adults and adult women. Now I'm so excited. I just that's exactly what happened in me At that retreat when we were talking vision boards, I had my aha moment and for me, honestly, the rest is history.

Speaker 2:

I hired Theresa Coltrane as my life coach. I continued to work at bar and just continue to build my business. Then COVID happened and I hit the ground running. Covid was amazing for me. I was one of the people that really thrived during COVID, really leaned into my business, did. Denver Startup Week ended up speaking for the Fuel your Influence conference. That was my very first keynote. I signed a bunch of clients during that time, some of which are still with me, some of which have referred other people to me.

Speaker 2:

So that was, I wanna say, 2000, and maybe 12 was. Maybe it was 2012, 2013. No, I'm a liar, I'm so sorry you guys. I graduated high school in 2011. So I was going off that. I graduated college in 2015. So it must have been 2017, 2018. I started my life coaching business in 2018 for sure.

Speaker 2:

So it was around that time that I fell in love with life coaching and just dove in, and so ever since then, I have continued to just go full speed ahead on both of my loves. I'm now opening up a school. I had the privilege of doing my first in-person keynote speaking gig this past summer at the FIM Powered Conference, which was so much fun, highly recommend. It's gonna be back, I wanna say, in March or April of 2024, if you just look up FIM Powered, you'll be able to find it. So I've gotten full steam ahead ever since then and in my coaching what I love the most is that I love to continue to have these conversations with empowered women.

Speaker 2:

Women that come to me and they feel disempowered, they feel depressed, anxious, upset behind, annoyed with their life. And they come to me because they know that they are meant for more. They know that this thing that's been placed on their heart, this itchiness that they've been dealing with, there's something better for them, and they know that they're capable of creating it. They know that they're capable of having it. But they need some encouragement, they need some accountability, they need someone to give them some tools for when life roughs them up. And that's where I come in, that's where I get to. There's a coach that said it really beautifully this summer and I'm gonna butcher it right now. But she said everybody needs a coach because you're inside the bottle and the coach can read the label on the outside. And I say that lightly because I truly believe that we are capable of self-healing and self-soothing, and so I don't think it's necessary that everybody has a life coach or a therapist, but man do.

Speaker 2:

I believe that it is helpful to have someone in your corner cheering you on, to have someone that you can let your full guard down around, let them know what's really going on. I tell people that all the time. What I love the most about life coaching is that it's a place that when I ask you, how are you? You're gonna tell me the truth, cause you want to. You want, we want to have that safe space where I can tell you I'm shitty, I'm upset, I'm mad, I'm hurt, I feel broken and I want to feel better and I don't want to feel this way anymore, and I know it's possible for me to create the reality that I see in my mind's eye. Help me get there. And that's where I'm like yes, yes, I will help you get there. Yes, I will cheer you on. Yes, I will help you get tools to understand your body more, understand your brain more, understand how your behavior works, how your behavior patterns are formed and how we can shift those behavior patterns to better serve you and your future self.

Speaker 2:

I love that and that is what I do in my coaching, and that is what I have fallen in love with ever since I was a little girl is the human potential. All humans have potential and it's not and I say that again very lightly, not to say that we always need to be quote fixing ourselves or bettering ourselves, but when I think about us in the way of nature, right, you think about a tree. You plant a little tree seed or you don't even plant a tree seed. Every single year, some of our seeds fall off of our tree and I don't even have to plant it. Those seeds fall into the earth and they sprout right, and a tree naturally grows and expands and roots and changes. A tree, a mature tree, does not look the same as a baby tree, right, its roots aren't as deep, it's not as rugged, you can't necessarily climb its branches, and that's what I love about the human experience. I love trees. I think we're very similar to trees, I think we're very similar to nature as a whole. But for this metaphor, being with the process of growing and changing is such a gift, such a gift.

Speaker 2:

There have been so many times that I've had clients crying on calls, crying because they're hurt, they're upset. Something didn't go the way that they thought it was gonna go, or they just had different aspirations or whatever it is. Maybe it's an old pain that's coming up. They thought they were gonna be over already. I thought it was gonna be over this person already. I thought it was gonna be over this passive in already. And here it is coming up. So many times that we've been crying in sessions and they're like I'm sorry and I'm like don't apologize. This is the work, the way to it is through it. That is what I love to do as a coach is be with you as you progress, as you go through the hard stuff, as you grow and you change. That's why my program is a year long. That's why, so, when you're going through these changes, I'm gonna be here with you, and then, when you get onto the other side of the change that you came to me for, there's gonna be some other stuff over there.

Speaker 2:

We're never done growing and changing. Just like nature, just like the trees outside, they grow and change every single year. They lose their leaves every year. They get new leaves every year. They're weathered by weather every single year and we're the same Life will beat us up. We're still going to grow and so it's my job. I've assigned it my job for anybody that wants my help or my service to help you in that growing process, so you can feel supported. When it gets scary, when your leaves fall off, when it's wintertime and you don't know when spring is gonna come next, and you're just hoping spring comes soon, I'm there for you. That's what I do as a coach, specifically in my sessions I'll wrap it up with this Specifically in my sessions, we went from high level to like background, like what I do to.

Speaker 2:

Here's the specifics I meet with my clients for an hour at a time. During that hour we'll talk about whatever specifically we're working on. So when I do a discovery call with somebody, that's when I really like to unpack. What is it that's important to you? Is it that you're working on your career? Is it that you're working on your relationship? Is it that you're working on your friendships? Is that you're working on all of those? Right? You want more aligned friendships. You just broke up with your boyfriend, you're moving to another state and you'd like to start a business. I'm saying these things because these are real things that happen with my clients and often I've helped at least two clients move states. I've helped, I'd say, 80% of my clients start and build businesses right, and so I get an idea of what it is that's important to you. Then, from there, we meet for an hour at a time, usually bi-weekly, and during that hour we'll unpack what's important to you in the framework of what's working, what's not and what's next, but with the philosophy that there are circumstances in the world.

Speaker 2:

Your thoughts influence how you feel. How you feel is influencing your action. Your action is influencing your results. So, again, I'm going to check in these are the results you want, correct? And you're going to tell me yes or no. That's what I want, nandi, and then we're going to come back to okay. Well, these are the thoughts that you're thinking and these are the results that you're getting. So what do we need to change in the brain to influence the action, to influence the results? You don't have to remember all of that. That's my job. My job is to hear what the result is that you're trying to create, hear how it is you believe you're showing up, hear your brain and then work to shift the neural pathways in your brain so you can shift the behavior you're taking out in the world so you can get the results that you want.

Speaker 2:

So incrementally we work on that over the sessions hour at a time and then afterwards my clients will get their recording afterwards so you get your whole session forever and ever. You can go back and I have one client that will watch it on her birthday every year, the year before she'll watch how much she's changed and how much she's grown. I have other clients that will just go back and if we have a really powerful session they'll go back and they'll watch and they'll take some notes of their own. But then you get notes afterwards. I love to send my clients notes just to give them an idea of what we're working on, what we're focused on, and then growth work. Think about it as homework, but more fun because you chose it. So you get some growth work.

Speaker 2:

That's an alignment with your goals and it could be as simple as a journal prompt or a workout. Move your body two to three times a week. Go to SoulCycle every Monday right, it might be something like that, or it might be more longterm, where I'm having you figure out your budget, create your ideal budget. Then what is the income that we're needing to create in order to match that budget right. It might be a little bit more in depth like that, but as a life coach, that's why I love being a life coach.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't matter what area of your life you're working on. It all comes back to what are the beliefs you have about that area of your life, whether it's relationship, money, career, family. You want to travel more, you want to start the business. You've already started the business, but now you want to up level it and you're having your second child, whatever it is. It all comes back to what are the thoughts you're thinking that are influencing the way you're feeling, that are influencing your actions, that are influencing your results. If you're tired of getting the same results and you'd like some support, that's where I come in and I love, love, love, love what I do so much.

Speaker 2:

I hope that this podcast episode serves you, my friends. I feel like it's a long time coming. I don't know why it's taken five seasons for me to tell the backstory and tell you what I do as a coach. I think that what my my judgy brain says is people don't want to hear that. People just want to be helped, and that might be the case. There might be some people that didn't get to this part of the episode because they're like how are you helping me in this episode? And that's okay. But I have had it on my heart for some time to tell this story, to tell you guys my story, to tell you a little bit more about what I do with coaching. So I hope that this serves you. As always, my friends, take what's next to you, leave the rest.

Speaker 2:

If this inspired you to book your discovery call, do it now. Do it now, my friends Nandi, camilleasme. It's a free discovery call. It's one free hour. You can tell me, no, I don't want to coach at the end of it. You can tell me, yes, you want to coach at the end of it whatever feels best for you. But if you are wondering, should I book a discovery call, I would encourage you to do so. I am not in the business of convincing people to do anything that's out of alignment ever. So that discovery call is truly about listening to you and understanding what's in alignment for you and giving you some nuggets in that session to help you better lean into or take steps towards what's most in alignment for you.

Speaker 2:
