@vanessalee_rn I remember being on a date when I was in my early 20s and the guy asked me what I was into. I went on to explain that I was into living. Adventures, working towards success like you’ve never dreamt of it, deep relationships, unconventional paths. He said that seemed like a lot for someone my age. Then I met my husband and he asked me the same thing and when I told him the same answer, his eyes lit up and he couldn’t wait to ask me more. That’s the difference between who is meant for you and who isn’t. Your people—your person, will feel the electricity when you talk about the life you want to create.
