Episode Synopsis

Hanging OFF off the EDGE of a 30 Foot Roof

I’ve always been a dare devil..

There’s something about living on the edge that just makes me feel ALIVE

The blood pulsing through my veins, pumping through my heart, the sweat, the adrenaline all of it I just love…

In 3rd grade, I decided to scale our roof deck with an attempt to monkey bar myself from the roof to the adjacent tree…

I could see it in my eye… I had mapped out how I would make my moves, but it didn’t work out as planned..

Instead I hung from the roof ledge with my little hands grasping with all the strength I had…..

Hoping someone could save me, pull me up to safety but instead my cousin 2 years younger just looked at me with fear in her eyes…frozen…….

I looked down…

I looked for the tree but it was too far from my grasp….

I had no other choice but to LET GO and LAND on my feet some 30 feet below (I was 8 so I don’t know now if it was actually 30 feet but it was a FREE fall!!)

I landed solidly like a cat on my two feet, squatted with my strong skier legs to absorb the fall and proudly (yet still shaking) sauntered to the front door, rang the door bell & told my mom what happened…

She was not impressed with my dangerous stunt….

And that’s how I have run my biz all of these years….

I could see it in my eyes….. knew what I wanted…..

Stepped off the ledge, burned my exit strategy (I never renewed my clinical degree certificate)

Fully committed to my dreams… even if I did not know the HOW…

There have been seasons where I have held on so tight to the edge of so called safety in fear and belief that someone could save me,,,, a program, a coach, a mentor, a product, group, friend, parent, a new software…..

but the end of the day even though I have had a ton of support from Johnn, biz besties, clients, colleagues and other biz betty’s ahead of me showing me it is POSSIBLE…

I had to learn to TRUST GOD first

trust my vision

and learn to TRUST myself..

even if didn’t make sense..

even when I didn’t know the HOW, the what or the who…

I had to LET GO of the LEDGE…..

And free fall in FAITH

It’s really been the hardest thing I’ve ever done because a lot of my career I pushed myself further than I think God really wanted me to go at that time… but I had this adventurous spirit that just loves living on the edge….

I have made many mistakes….

Have had many wins…

And many failures….

Through it all reps and wisdom have made me who I am today and I know, feel and believe that the BEST is yet to come!!

Go to the edge, let go and you might just learn to FLY one of these years!!

I love you!

Love,
