Gabby's BIG Fan ,

Grateful for the episode with Carissa Schumacher

There were so many parts of this episode that felt like Carissa was speaking directly to me and so many moments when I finished her sentences before she spoke them. It was an amazing experience and so grateful for the wisdom you shared. I had been living very much on the horizontal. The last four years have been rough and I find myself this year working on the balance of being in the vertical and horizontal. I didn’t know I was actually doing this until hearing Carissa talk about it. Thank you 🙏🏻 Raquel
