Lesson 14: Facing Your Fears and Living the Life You Really Want with Marketing Strategist Emily Weichel
From the age of 12, Emily has dreamed about finding a way to work from the road and make travel her lifestyle. Growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania with no one she knew who shared her vision, Emily knew it wasn’t going to be easy. This is the story of how she got there, and how you can get there too. Tune in to Emily’s story as she shares the unexpected twists and turns that taught her valuable lessons along the way and how she faced her fears and said “yes” to the life she wanted anyway. I hope Emily’s story inspires you to design the life you really want, step by step.
What we cover in this episode:
