Four years ago, I did something different. I did something bold. I traveled out of state by myself for the first time to attend a conference led by motivational speaker Eric Thomas (ET). I never intended to travel alone but I didn’t have anyone to accompany me. Looking back, I’m glad no one was able to go because I needed to take that trip alone. I needed to learn how to thrive without other people. I spent so much time pleasing others that I forgot how to please myself. I forgot what made me happy. In 2017, (two years after I became a mother) I reached my breaking point and traveling alone saved me. It was the beginning of a self-love, self-healing, and self-discovery journey that I never knew I needed. I am the woman I am today because I decided to step out of my comfort zone.

This year was my first-time attending Podcast Movement which is a conference that educates and connects active and aspiring podcasters all around the world. It was also my first-time visiting Nashville, Tennessee so I was ecstatic about the new experiences.

One month later and I’m still filled with inspiration and gratefulness. Today I am sharing my top 4 takeaways from the conference.
