“If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know where you could possibly go.”
That’s just one of many amazing quotes in today’s episode.
Folks, some stories need to be told. And today’s guest owns one of those stories.
You can kind of guess it from the title but here’s what happened…
Our special guest today, Bianca was an athlete. She was a great basketballer in her younger years and was travelling interstate and internationally for competition and she was doing great.
But… life is like a rollercoaster – there are ups and downs.
And she had two down times…
One of them involved a huge credit card debt.
So… what happened? How did she climb back up? Did she run away and hide?
Well… Bianca showed us what we can achieve by taking a step forward and be honest to ourselves and everyone around us.
She also showed us her tenacity to do better and an unyielding ability to swim upstream.
And most importantly, she showed that life is all about the choices you make.
Like we said, some stories just need to be told and heard…
Tune in today folks. You won’t regret it.
