It has made me step out of my comfort zone and show up. It&#8217;s not always easy to show my face and life but it is getting easier and I love connecting with all of you that way. My sons say my videos are cringy but hey, that&#8217;s OK. It&#8217;s helping me open up and that is growth.<\/p>\n<p>So as I head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/theresetconference.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Reset Conference<\/strong><\/a> in Lexington solo this weekend I will miss my family tons but know this is so valuable for my business and myself. And I think that&#8217;s a pretty cool thing to show my kids, that investing in yourself is important.<\/p>\n<p>I will be checking messages but will not be able to respond to them all as quickly as I would like. Thank you for your patience! I can&#8217;t wait to share with you all that I will bring back!
