There are moments in our lives when we know we are capable of more than we currently do. We have a glimpse of the person we could become if we decide to pursue it. But sometimes, things or events get in the way of our happiness and success. For Tia, she grieved immensely after her sister's sudden death and felt immense loneliness and disconnection from others. This turned her world inside out and temporarily held her back from becoming what she desires to be. As our guest Evan Carmichael stated, grief is a highly individualized experience, and each person expresses and processes it in their own way and time.It's not always easy to become who we know we can or want to be. This is a journey that takes time, energy, and courage. We must be willing to put in the hard work and motivation despite the circumstances that come our way. With this, you'll be able to come back with even more fire than before. Speaking of time, this is the first of a two-part episode featuring Evan as we are very obsessed with him and what he has to share on how we can become the person we want to be! Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media. Evan is working to solve the world's biggest problem of people not believing in themselves enough through good karma projects and initiatives that have the potential to impact a billion people.What You Will Learn From This Episode03:10 - Why Evan Carmichael is obsessed with us06:25 - Handling and processing grief10:22 -  Coming back with even more fire than before13:35 - Having a supportive community around you14:59 - Being your true self 18:27 - Showing up for and chasing hard (except for grief)Connect with Evan CarmichaelWebsite: https://believe.evancarmichael.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EvancarmichaelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/evancarmichael/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evancarmichaelSee What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree -  https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls________________Get Obsessed with us.
