Summary

Follow your heart. Give up on old dreams to make room for a new one. Recorded in May of 2014, shortly after Amanda Frances quit her PhD program, she had been life coaching for three years part time and on the side, and felt ready to go big with her business. She had dreamed of obtaining a PhD since she was a teenager, but a new dream had emerged. Sometimes we have to let go of an old dream to make room for a new dream. Sometimes, we realize what we thought we wanted isn’t what we actually wanted once it arrives. Sometimes we have to reassess, weigh the perceived costs against the supposed benefits, and make a change. As always, Amanda shares with us how to follow our hearts to our ultimate destiny and desires.
