Welcome back to The Power of Storytelling!
Kayla and Sandra - thank you for sharing your stories, your words, and your journey with all of us.
This week’s episode reminded me of the power of turning inward and trusting the voice inside that points us in the direction of our dreams, hopes, and joy. So often we question our path and our journey, we wonder how we’re going to get from point a to point b, and we look to others outside of ourselves for those answers. What we’re searching for is always within. Your joy, passion, and ideas for your businesses, creations, and services, are all within.
It’s truly my honor to share the stories and provide the space here to share a little bit more about the women behind these words. I encourage you to check out Kayla and Sandra after you listen to this week’s new episode.
