Pocket Sized Pep Talks

Your Greatest Teacher Is You

Episode Summary

The problem is, most of us keep moving forward without ever stopping to discover what our own experiences have been trying to teach us. In this quick, nine-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I'll share how a simple journaling habit unexpectedly became one of the greatest learning tools of my life, and why looking back may be the fastest path to moving forward with greater wisdom.
