Summary

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately, so on this episode, I’m sharing something my yoga teacher read to me once called “Stop Waiting.” It’s about how we need to stop waiting for life to happen to us, and instead need to be the ones in control, taking action, and igniting a fire in our own lives. I totally lived this way in my teens and twenties when I was in pursuit of my dream job as editor in chief of Dance Spirit magazine. I got that job — yay! — but in the years since I moved on have found myself living more cautiously and less intuitively. That all stops now. Time to channel 16-year-old Ali by making bold declarations, pursuing big dreams, forgetting about what other people think, and taking back control of my happiness.

0:28.9	I was also obsessed with YM and Teen People and before that American Girl magazine, so shout
0:34.0	out to all of those.
0:35.7	I went to college with that dream in mind.
0:37.5	I majored in journalism and then the summer before my senior year I got an internship
0:41.6	working in the editorial department at Dance Spirit.
0:44.8	It was the dream.
0:46.4	Well, the dream before the dream.
0:48.8	So I worked my butt off at that internship.
0:51.0	It was everything I dreamed of and then I kept in touch with the editors once the internship
0:54.9	ended and I went on to complete my senior year of college.
0:58.4	So as soon as I graduated, I let them know that I was ready and available and I was willing

1:04.6	I would freelance, I would clean the office kitchen, I would transcribe interviews, I was
