All right, so today I have a really special guest, it is a friend of mine that I have known forever and ever. She was my old college roommate. And she’s done something really incredible. In fact, I would say she’s done something that most people have not done. And the mindset that it takes to do what she has done, I find so incredible. And it has been an honor to get to watch this transformation, that I wanted to bring her story to the show, so that she may inspire you. And you can follow along as she completes the transformation, which I don’t know if it’s really ever complete. It’s sort of a journey she’s on, but you’ll hear more and you’ll understand. But before we go there, I want to just remind you, that we are talking about the show, we are doing some coaching and I think I’m going to start broadcasting the show live inside my facebook group. This is a new group, if you heard last week, I started the group when I started the podcast ended up we we archived it for lots of reasons. And it’s been a year and a half or so and we are starting fresh. So I really hope to build a community where you can really go in there and get support and meet people and create really lovely relationships with other people that are on this path. Because I’ve brought people together on the path, right, so I’ve found the people on the path. And they have come together to listen to the show. So if we can come into that group, and really create, I think something that can be really remarkable. So to get there, all you need to do is just go to the art of living big.com. And it’ll put you right into the Facebook group. And you can join from there. So I hope to see you there. When you get there. Find the post and introduce yourself and say hello so that I can acknowledge you and and get to know you a little bit inside there too. So all right, I will I will quit my yappin.
