Shit happens. It's how you deal with it that matters.

In this episode, I'm joined by Carrington Smith, author of Blooming: Finding the Gifts in the Shit of Life. Carrie has dealt with more than her fair share of bad life experiences. Her story includes family rejection, sexual assault, body dysmorphia, divorce, depression and more.

She is using her story to help others discover how all of the messes, failures and trauma can help us bloom into our greatness.

In this episode you'll learn how rejection is redirection, how to stand out even if it makes others uncomfortable, how to use the shit in your life to move you forward and what the Bellagio Fountains can teach you about life.

It’s time to stop letting the shit in your life hold you back. I hope you enjoy this episode and see all the parts in your life as a gift.
