    Love your podcasts!
    Have you tried Baby Sign language with your daughter? It provides some kids with communication skills before they are verbal.

  • Thank you for having Marie on! I love watching her videos because she has such fun and inspiring energy. She is so real and you all had great chemistry and made me smile in my car.
    I totally agree about the slow growth with your passion than trying to make millions in a short time. I also started my coaching practice in 2010 and I am seeing the hard-work and purpose pay off now with my work with young women with anxiety. I love seeing the freedom and difference my business is creating. I am inspired by my clients and am so happy I didn’t give up also! Thanks for your fun episodes. xoxo
