We've all got fears. I have them. You have them. Everyone on earth has them. In today's episode, I get very real and very candid about my fears. I talk about what's driving them and how they impact me, my business, my relationships, and everything I touch.  Come and walk with me on this journey!

Gratitude doesn't have to be saved for the million dollar moments in your life. Your attention is actually a type of alchemy. Noticing what your thankful for and investing precious time to express your gratitude actually makes you feel more alive, helps you sleep better, cultivates more compassion and kindness, and even strengthens your immune systems.

Visit http://www.Viviancarrasco.com for more insight, wisdom and inspiration.    In this episode I share: How Love.Being.Human. was birthed three years ago. The pivot I made from avoiding what I feared to instead moving toward what I enjoy and love.    The community you can access via Within (U)niversity, because you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
