About the Podcast

This podcast is for real people who want to make changes but don’t know how to start. If you feel like positive change is overwhelming or elusive, or building the life you wish to seems far away, I will help you create easy and practical steps toward success. If you don’t have time to sift through thousands of hours of podcasts, hundreds of books, or centuries of advice, let me do it for you! I will review a book and discuss the topic  to see if we can get some direction.
