22. How I got here!

Anything that you want to make happen in your life is a choice. You can choose to take the trip, you can choose to stay home, you can choose to attend the party and accept the invitation, you can choose to say no, you can choose to adopt a new habit, or you can choose to stay exactly where you are. It goes the same for everything and anything in life. Where you are right now at this exact moment is a combination of your upbringing, the things that happen that you have no control over, and the choices that you've made.  Essentially any new habits, any new choices, and any new changes that you want to make are possible but you have to make space for it.   In today’s episode, I want to share why I believe we all have choices, even as mamas, and more specifically I want to talk about my own choices! I discuss how all your choices have a ripple effect, how I decided to show up in the world on my own terms and conditions, why striking a balance was so important to me and why I was the best investment I could make for myself.    In this episode, we cover:

• Your choices have lead you to where you are today [3:12]
• All your choices have a ripple effect [8:15]
• I am just a regular mama (trust me) [12:14]
• My working and academic background, and the desire to strike a balance [17:58]
• I chose to invest in my potential [25:15]
• Why not waiting was the best thing to do [32:02]
• Reconnecting with myself allowed me to show up for others [39:43]
