#10 How to say "Yes, and"

#9 The Power of Community

Midway through our road trip, at the end of our day in Frankfurt, we felt the need to record a podcast. Too much magic had happened for us not to share it with the world. This is the day that showed us that anything is possible if we just believe strongly enough, ask for what we want and are open to the universe. In this episode of Inside the Hive, we delve into how limitations can be magical when you trust your intuition. If you enjoyed hearing about this journey, share this episode with one person you think will find it interesting.
