Podcast: How To Go From 9 to Thrive
I had the incredible honor of being a guest on the personal development podcast Switch, Pivot or Quit. This opportunity came about serendipitously (thanks to an incredible friend, Chantelle Tankson, who recommended me for the podcast without event telling me) - I had made it a professional goal to do more podcasts (and video) this next year because it’s something I’ve been putting off. Don’t you just love when you put an intention out there (even when you’re not sure you’re ready for it) and the universe forces you to just start?!
I want to tell you more about the incredible host of Switch, Pivot or Quit. She had me at first SMS. This woman is empowering by nature and wisdom just oozes from her. She is a woman who just goes for it and makes things happen. Virtual BFFs, meet Ahyiana Angel.
