It’s that time of year when the kids return to school with new supplies and excitement for new school year.
I have always loved this time of year. Picking new school clothes and getting new planners and looking at my schedule. There is no reason this fresh start has to end for us even as adults!! I mean I still think I need the new outfits, shoes and planners too!!🤪
In this podcast, we talk about using this time to reflect on your goals and how you want to finish the rest of 2023!
Maybe you could go buy a new planner, pens or highlighters and start making some plans for yourself again. What makes you feel excited?What needs to change or stay the same? Do you need to pivot? How are you feeling about your life right now?
We hope this episode inspires you to take action in your life and get motivated to doing the things that excite you. You deserve it!! ♥️♥️
Have you ever felt like having expectations of life is frustrating because nothing seems to go the way you thought?
Life never seems to turn out the way we thought it was going to be and that can be disappointing at times.

We recorded this episode for the first time together while on our trip to Costa Rica!!!
Jessica shares her crazy passport journey and how she almost missed out on the trip to Costa Rica!!
We also discuss the value of connecting and bonding as women. As we were on this journey across the world, we loved experiencing circle time with the tribe of women we were United with on this journey.
This experience filled our souls in a unique way that we don’t get to experience in todays world. We connected to our ancestors and the simple “pura vida” life of Costa Rica. It was definitely a trip of a life time!

We spoke with Cori who has been in military for 23 years and served multiple times overseas and continues to serve for the Colorado guard.
We spoke about her role in the male dominated military and what her experience was like as she joined the military as a woman in the year 2000.
The circumstances the Cori went through to prove her worth as woman and to overcome being a part of combat are truly remarkable. It is women like Cori who have helped lead us women on a path of growth and more equality and less discrimination.
In addition, she is a part of 2 nonprofits who support veterans. One supports and provides rehabilitation camps for veterans in Alaska. Cori had her own female camp and supported the women in her group with healing. The other nonprofit provides dogs for veterans. Both of them are powerful in supporting veterans.
This episode was very emotional and inspiring and we couldn’t be more proud of what you are doing in this world Cori! Thanks for being a part of our podcast!!

Very few of us have the perfect body or what we view as ideal. We have to leaven to accept our bodies and celebrate them for what they are and do for us. We need to let it go and just immerse ourselves in our lives and experiences. We have to stop letting the way we look limit our potential, happiness, and success. We often hold ourselves back because we don’t feel we are worthy or that we can have success until we look a certain way or reach a specific milestone. These are self imposing limits and beliefs we have made for ourselves that hold us back from our potential. Listen in as we discuss our thoughts about how we view our bodies and how moving forward, we want to focus on how we are so much more than our bodies.
