Can’t wait to hear what you think girl! “Your desires & your dreams are WORTHY. They are yours for a reason. And often, we think we choose our dreams & desires, I don’t believe that. They chose us, and they chose us for a reason.”   PUMP-UP JAM: A Moment Apart by Odesza   Quotes: “Are we willing to lean into the fear? If we didn’t have the fear, it wouldn’t be important to us. If we didn’t have the fear, we wouldn’t be stretching our comfort zone.” “When we marry passion with skills, that’s when the magic happens.” “The excitement of doing the thing that you wanna do is gonna keep you going through the adversity.” “See what they are doing as a reflection of what you are capable of.” “If we have something inside of us and we don’t actually take the courageous step to make it real, we’re dishonoring our own desires and our own dreams.” “Not chasing our dreams, not fulfilling our desires, is actually very selfish.”   Resources: Connect with Tommy on Instagram @tommy_resistaverage Subscribe to Tommy’s podcast: Resist Average Academy Get his book: The Leap of your Life Get yourself a Mini Trampoline If we aren't connected yet be sure to come hang with me on Instagram @kaciafitzgerald and @empowerHERpodcast or online at www.kaciafitzgerald.com Topic or speaker suggestions?
