Don’t Quit Your Daydream!
As moms it’s easy to let our own dreams go, as we focus on loving, giving, serving, and caring for our families. We may feel guilty following our dreams, or we may feel like it simply isn’t possible. I’m here to tell you the truth: Not only is it possible, but when we let ourselves dream, and work toward those dreams, we give our children and families permission and a model for how to do the same. My guest, Dani Smith (doTERRA Blue Diamond Leader), and I are discussing the “how-to’s” of going for your daydreams–how to let yourself dream, creatively find ways to go for it, and feel like an even better mom as a result!
