Where fairytales come true: a story on how to live your best life I have secretly been planning this podcast episode — all about how to live your best life — in my mind for more than two years. Bringing this story to you, friend, is…well, a dream come true. As you’ll soon hear, it all started once upon a time, many, many years ago. There I was, presenting at a conference, when Stephanie Osmundson and Loreal Hemenway made themselves known to me. And then…well, you’ll just have to listen to this episode to get the rest of the story because their tale is the stuff that living your dreams is made of. (Spoiler alert: Stephanie and Loreal are a case study on what it means to “live your dream” and they'll show you how!) How to live your best life now Stephanie and Loreal are not only best friends (and have been for many years), they are also business partners and the owners of Happily Ever Elementary. Most of all, they are — literally — living their best life now! And on today’s podcast episode, they will not only share what it means to live your best life, they will also offer strategies and tools for you to do the same. As Stephanie and Loreal attest, you can become anything that you want to become, friend! The trick, of course, is to get really clear on what you want first. And if you can figure that out, anything (and I mean ANYTHING) is possible. As a teaser, their happily ever after includes being both stay-at-home moms AND teachers in the classroom. Are you ready to begin living your dream? Listen to this episode for all of the inspiration… ABOUT STEPAHNIE AND LOREAL AND HAPPILY EVER ELEMENTARY Stephanie and Loreal are two young teachers who are on a mission to make classroom dreams come true!
