Season 1, episode 9
1 hr 3 min / Published

In todays episode we will discuss how to have the courage to follow your dreams. Courage is the decision that you make every day to show up, to get clarity on what you REALLY want and taking the next aligned step without needed to know everything. You don’t have to know every step, plans don’t always work out the way we expect, but the courage to take the next right move is what will keep you moving.

In this episode, I’m joined by Christelle Biiga, a Transformational Coach and manifestation expert. Christelle is originally from Cameroon, and five years ago, she moved to the US to follow her dream. However, on arriving, immigration officers tried to deport her because they thought she came to work as a prostitute. She ended in a detention center where she spent 9 months to prove that she was a good person. This was her defining moment, and today Christelle is living her dream. She works with female entrepreneurs to help them develop the courage to make decisions that will lead them to their success in life.

During the episode, Christelle shares life lessons from her experience and practical tools to help you cultivate your courage to follow your dreams and achieve your goals.
