So. I learned something about myself this year... in a rough and BIG way. I learned my personality type and let me tell you... It was a H-U-G-E lesson.

Along with the type itself, I learned that I have a fatal flaw... which also happens to be one of my greatest strengths. There are 2 sides to every coin and my personality comes with a shiny and a dark side (I like to think it's mostly left on the shiny side ;) ).

That flaw/strength is CHEERLEADING/a Cheerleader personality type (as Mollie Fagan calls it).

​I get it - it costs money to attend life changing, incredible events which puts a major damper on the excitement and pull you feel to attend said event. I have been there! I've missed out on a lot of events/experiences (that I later found myself suffering major FOMO around) because I couldn't afford it!

The flip side is that many times the energy exchanged within a room of like-minded individuals who share your passions and see like the way you do, will COMPLETELY change the way you operate and the way you do business. You will open your eyes and mind to new ways of thinking so that you leave with a "new lease on life" and a renewed motivation to make BIG things happen FOR you!

So here are 5 ways you can get creative to afford that thing you know will change your life:

The older I get, the more I am learning about WHO I AM and this whoooole thing called "life." This past weekend I experienced a "break-up" with a friend that completely shattered my heart. What's funny is that I thought I was done dealing with dating and relationships and especially done with break-ups since I got married. What I didn't realize is how very wrong that assumption was. I didn't realize that from here on out, every single person in my life is a new relationship and every single person stands the chance of breaking my heart.
