 Episode #71: Say Yes and Figure it out Later with Lindsey Mango | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:27:23

Episode #71 comin in hot! Last week I had an amazing last minute opportunity to hop on a recording with mindset expert and business and life coach, Lindsey Mango. My motto this year is to say yes and figure it out later... so I called day care and pushed back my normal pick up time and got on the call. I knew that if I didn't I'd be laying in bed that night feeling sorry for myself for not taking a chance, jealous of the woman who had the time freedom to stop, drop, and record, and overall disappointed in my 'lack of opportunities'. But I DIDN'T. I went to bed fired up and thrilled because this conversation was exactly what I needed to hear that day. And I know that when you hit play, you'll feel the same! Do you struggle to make exciting leaps? Does fear hold you back? Listen in to Lindsey's best tips and hear her share the biggest lessons she hopes to impart on her future kids!
