Today’s episode is a trip.

 

I can’t wait to introduce you to my favorite metaphor - a road trip - to inspire you to have more fun and enjoy the ride on this thing called life.

 

After all, life is a journey. And no one’s path is exactly the same. 

 

So today, I’m asking you to think about this road trip called life. 

 

And I’m going to be asking you to consider some thought-provoking questions:

 

Are you the driver or the passenger of your life?

 

*Are you even on the right road? *

 

*Do you need to pick a new direction? *

 

Are you heading where you want to go, but speeding so fast you can’t enjoy the ride?

 

Is it time to update the road trip playlist (in your head)?

 

*And most importantly, what lies on the road ahead? *

 

Whether you’ve just graduated, you’re an empty nester, or you’re somewhere in between, this episode is the perfect gift to send to absolutely everyone in your life.

 

Change is scary, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to help you navigate the road ahead. 

 

This episode will empower you to take the wheel in your life.

 

Because you, my friend, have choices. 

 

And there’s a million ways to get to where you want to go.

 

The best days of your life are ahead. I believe that, and after you embrace the opportunity of this road trip called life, you’ll believe it too!
