“17 Ways You Can Screw Up Your Kids”
“5 Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Credit Forever
“4 Reasons You’ll Never Lose Weight”

It wasn't until I found health professionals who focused on education and empowerment that I began to see real change.

“...well, it's just that your level of confidence...”
Woah. I had to pause when my podcast mentor casually said these words on our call. And to be honest: they struck me deeply.
Those words made me realize that while I often feel unsure, the version of me you see on the podcast or a stage is the amplified version of me—confident, outgoing, and unafraid.
But in everyday life? It’s another story.

In this episode, you’ll learn how I’m targeting a new group of people in my business, the commitment I’m declaring starting now, and a framework for choosing to be 3X confident with ease.
