EP 224: Beyond Your Wildest Dreams with Melissa Llarena

I have been meeting with tons of interesting women doing amazing work in the world, taking a class on branding, preparing for a couple of speaking events and handling some big parenting challenges.

In other words, I am ready for a little R&R this weekend for Mother’s Day. 

So many have told me lately that all they want for Mother's Day is some silence and solitude, perhaps a meal they don’t have to think about or clean up after. 

Me too! So that’s what I requested from my family. I will also be reading by a pool and swimming. Nice way to spend a Sunday if you ask me.

So excited to share my interview with Melissa Llarena. We talked about how our imagination is the secret weapon to getting the life and career you want.

I love how her mind thinks! Melissa’s creativity, imagination and determination have helped her connect with some of the biggest thought leaders.
