Scared Confident Tiffany Sauder

Happy Thanksgiving from Tiffany and the Scared Confident team!
Everyday we are faced with that fork in the road of choosing the easy path or the hard path. We come to it time and time again. The easy path is attractive and it calls out to us by making us believe that it will create more time and space in our lives. But do we really believe that to be true?
Tiffany comes to us this week with a power-packed reminder to never give into the easy path. It’s a temporary one that takes us farther away from who we are supposed to become. Instead, choose your hard…every time. Choose the path that aligns with who you are striving to be. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it worth it? Every single time. Listen in to be inspired to choose your hard and live your Life of And to the fullest.
