PART 5 - 7 WOMEN - 7 CHALLENGES IN 2017 Tough Girl Podcast

At the start of 2017 after feedback from the Tough Girl Tribe. I started 7 Women - 7 Challenges.
 
Throughout the year I will be interviewing 7 women as we follow them on their journey of going after their own personal challenges.
 
We will learn what really has to happen for people to achieve their goals, we will hear about their frustrations, disappointments, set backs, as well as their successes and achievements.
 
It is real stories, from real women, living real lives.
 
This is part 5
