The dream is calling, but so are the doubts, the expenses, the uncertainty, and maybe even the outhouse. Nikki and David get real about chasing a big life vision while standing right in the messy middle of it, unpacking what it means to believe that "the obstacle is the way." From vision boards and growth mindset to panic moments and perspective shifts, they share how reconnecting to your deeper why can turn fear into fuel. 🧡

This conversation is a powerful reminder for people-first leaders and dreamers alike: if you can see it, feel it, and stay connected to the meaning behind it, you can keep climbing through the hard parts.
