Hey girl, welcome to the Empower Her podcast where we are all about taking purpose-driven

action toward building lives we really freaking love.

My name's Keisha and I'm an entrepreneur obsessed with giving you actual tools to help take you from where you are

now to where you want to go in your life, career, and relationships. And this podcast, it's all about

real talk and having some fun as we share incredible stories, tips, and tricks to help us get out of our

own way and unapologetically make some moves.

So girlfriend, let's do the damn thing.

Girl, I am so excited that you're here for today's episode because I don't know about you, but maybe

you're in this season, if you're listening to this episode in real time, where you're starting

to think about 2022, but you're also maybe reflecting a little bit on 2021. And if you listen to

Thursday's episode with my fiance, Tina and I, we went through all of our seasons and really reflected back on it. It's like a super juicy raw episode. If you didn't check it out, go check it out. Actually, I'll link it in the show notes for you. But beside the point, if you're in that season, you might be looking back at 2021 and you're like, crap, like I said I was going to do this thing.

Like you don't want it to feel like how it feels now where you're like, dang it. I didn't follow through on that thing or what it wasn't as the filling in the process as I wanted it to be. And I want to help you make sure that you feel

really good going into 2022 and that you're not wasting a bunch of time and energy beating yourself

up about what could have been. Who cares? Like we're not looking back. We're not going that way.

We're going forward. So my intention with today's episode is to actually really just use an analogy that I've

been thinking a ton about and share it with you today. So if we are connected on social media,

you might know that my fiance, Tina and I just recently road trip from Austin, Texas,

where we live, up here to Washington State. Both of our

families are from Washington. We've got a lot of really good friends up here. We're up here for

Christmas. And we're actually going to be up here for a couple of weeks. We are working on getting

Sena's dad, who recently passed about six months ago. We're getting his house ready for a renter.

We're also getting married in about four months. So we're doing some fun wedding planning with our family up here and just like really soaking it up. A lot of our friends have kids, you know, got to kiss and babies do all that. Anyway, so we're up here for a little bit. And we've been on the road a lot, obviously driving from Austin, Texas, up to Seattle. And there's been so many ideas that I've

had come through my head about this analogy of being on the road. And in particular, I've been
