    Are you holding something back? Are you staying quiet when there's a part of you aching to speak up? I hope this lesson I recently received about self-expression encourages you to open up, use your voice and find your peace.

    My (New) Life LIVE from Mexico

    My (New) Life LIVE from Mexico

    Exactly one year ago today I recorded a podcast episode from the beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and shared that I was determined to relocate to the country and start my next chapter there. Well, one year later -- here's how I made that happen, and the lessons I've learned along the way!
    You'll also notice that I've updated the name of the podcast from Support is Sexy to The Elayne Fluker Show. If you've been a long-time listener since I launched the podcast in 2016: (1) I appreciate you so much and (2) You can expect more of the same great conversations as well as my own life lessons on the show. I believe the name change allows us to be more expansive with the conversations and for me to present leaders, innovators and motivators who will support YOU no matter where you are in personal or professional journey. I hope you'll continue to take this ride with me! 
    Onward!

Where are you standing still in your life when you know deep down it's time to make a move. Where are you settling when you could be soaring? Now is the time to dream of the possibilities, and put a plan in place. Let's do this!
