I'm here to spill the beans on my Costa Rican adventure, share some personal stories, and give you valuable insights that I'm sure will resonate with all of you.

For today's podcast, I'm sharing a Coaching Call from our BAB Coaching Community. It's a chance for you to see how I coach, which you'll also experience in my program, MACROS 101. In this episode, I'm helping Desiree with celebrating—turning it into something real and doable in everyday life. Here's a tip: use "acknowledging" instead of "celebrating" to make it seem easier. Just like any skill, acknowledging yourself gets better with practice. So, join in, and let's get better at self-acknowledgment together!
