When someone asks you to interview you on your podcast, what do you say? No! Well, I didn’t and so here we are. Angela Williamson, CVA, and Carrie Hart, CVA interview me for my own podcast. It was weird. They asked hard questions and I edited those answers out, but what was left was really good too! I mean it was over an hour and who wants to hear all of that? Carrie said there were multiple truth bombs lol. Listen in to how your No’s make way for your Yes’s, why boundaries are so important, self-care vs selfishness…and watch me squirm to answer their questions. It was a good time! Thank you, ladies! Let’s do it again sometime, but not on camera lolol! Oh yes, and here is the lyric I couldn't remember: "Sometimes the thrill of soaring had to begin with the fear of falling."
