Amazing

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. Kay has a voice of an angel and it always sounds like your just hanging out and talking story with great friends. I live for change and being able to do things that makes me feel alive. I moved my family from Maui to New York City for a life change. Now we are working on a new business to be able to move overseas for the next adventure. So keep the inspiration coming.

It’s like she knew what we needed when we didn’t even know we needed it!
