It's time to reflect on this past year. And boy did it go so differently than I envisioned at the start of 2024. From coming out of survival mode, to launching a new membership and completing the practitioner AND mastery level of 3 certifications. So many things occurred.
And I get into the juicy details about it.
Also, this is the final episode for season 2. We are going on a holiday break and will be back for season 3 in January, with an amazing line up of high caliber guests!
