Have you ever had an experience that gave you absolute clarity? A “something’s gotta change” kind of moment where you knew deep down in your being that you must make a shift?
I had one.
At 25 I had a quarter-life crisis and drastically changed my life as a result. I’m here right now writing these show notes in large part because of the decisions I made during that time to follow the calling that was on my heart.
Today I open up and share what that process looked like (hint: it took a lot of time, dedication, and determination – but it was 100% worth the work!) and how I’m systematically dismantling my tendencies towards perfectionism and instead am choosing to embrace courage and bravery, not perfection at all costs.
So take a seat, press play, and let’s learn to be brave together.
I also share a mini Book Report focused on Reshma Saujani’s Brave Not Perfect, a book that put simply has changed my life. I hope it’s as impactful for you to learn about as it was for me to read!

Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger Podcast: The first time I heard the saying, “Done is better than perfect,” it was from Jenna. In fact, I even quoted her in the very first episode of The Live By Design Podcast! As I continue through my thirties and beyond, I’m taking this mantra to heart and applying it really to all areas of life.
The Institute for American Universities: Interested in studying in France, Spain, or Morocco?! Well I’m completely biased, but between my time studying at IAU in Aix-en-Provence, France for a semester and the 6+ years I spent working on their US team, I can say that they’re an incredible choice when it comes to international education. Check out their programs of study here!
