I remember a time in my life when I was really struggling through some things and just thought that I would never really make it.  I could not see to the other side because I was lost and fearful.  Have you ever been in a place like that in your life?  Many of us have.

But what if you could use your struggles to help you move further in growing yourself and building your dreams?  That would be awesome.  It took me a long while to know how to use those hateful moments as motivators to get me closer to my dreams.

I looked at myself in the mirror today and wasn't really excited about what I saw.  I know you have been there too.  Come on....yes you have.  Especially as women, we can be really critical of ourselves most of the time. 

What's even funnier is that my friends compliment me all the time about looking great.  A guy friend of mine says I must have a deal with the devil because I look so much younger than my real age. Even after all that, I am still sometimes in doubt and find myself being negative.

My guest, Christine Osoria, sat down to chat with me and she helped me with that.  Listen in....
