Chasing Your Dreams Is Messier Than Anyone Tells You

I’m recording this episode sitting in a car in San Diego because honestly, that feels pretty appropriate for what I want to talk about. My family and I are travelling across America for two months while I speak, run my business, see family, create opportunities and chase some very big dreams. It’s fucking incredible. And sometimes it’s fucking hard. This episode is the part of chasing your dreams that doesn’t always make the highlight reel. In this episode: What nobody tells you about actually going after the thing you say you want Why the messy moments don’t mean the dream isn’t working What travelling, parenting, marriage and running a business at the same time is teaching me Why you have to be willing to invest, risk rejection and act without guarantees I am living something right now that once existed only in my head. It doesn’t look perfect. It looks real and I wouldn’t trade it. 🎟️ POSITIONED, PAID & PUBLISHED — MIAMI, OCTOBER 21 If you’re a woman in business ready to build your authority, elevate your personal brand and become known for what you do, come join me and Maha Abouelenein in Miami for Positioned, Paid & Published.
