Aruba

When I got pregnant the most common advice was that I had to prepare for the fact I couldn’t travel the way I was used to once the baby was here.

Through the not-so-subtle eye rolls suggesting that I was so adorably naive, the overwhelming message being hurled at me was that I just couldn’t do it.

Wanna know what? I just got back from a 5 day vacay in Aruba with my 5 month old.

What those naysayers really meant was that they couldn’t do it.

The problem with seeking advice from others is that they will give it you with their own limitations, beliefs and fears attached.

Sure, lugging a 5 month old to another country is certainly different than when I traveled solo; but it also was incredibly rewarding to see my little daughter feeling the sand, for the first time, under her little piggy toes, her ruffle-bottomed bathing suit and hair smelling of the sea.

As someone who has now taken said 5-month old to 9 states, on 4 flights and to 2 countries (with plans for 3 more by her first birthday), I am here to tell you that is incredibly doable.

In fact, I am here to up the ante even further:

 There is really NO dream that is too wild or a vision too big.

You were meant for big things.

Other people will always try to impose their limiting views on you. Let’s face it- being average is easy. Doing what everyone else is doing doesn’t take that much effort.  

But being extraordinary is radical. Being exceptional takes some bold courage. Pivoting is nontraditional. True alignment is uncommon.

Most people will live their whole lives and settle for the status quo. They’ll abandon their dreams, and themselves in the process.

I am here to stop that.  I have helped hundreds of women reconnect to their confidence, their power and themselves.

Don’t let the opinions of others or the fear of being judged speak louder than your own intuition. You know what you need. The trick is just finding the courage to let it be heard.
