This episode is the FIRST episode recorded in our NEW location (Malaya Lash + Brow Academy). This is the home of for all our trainings (our own + hosted trainings for other artists), MalayaMade lash supplies + podcast studio. The sound is super choppy because you know, IPhone 12Pro 😉 and it was more important to do this episode than to wait for everything to be perfect. (Do it messy and figure it out as you go, ya know?) This episode I talk about being the curator of your own life experience. I talk about making the most of what you got instead of looking around at what everyone else is doing. And to get to the point, I talk about setting goals and intentions.  I talk about Passion Planning and creating your own roadmap to the life you want. It's an easy exercise to do and SO IMPACTFUL.  I created a FREE99 workshop guiding you through the exercise with the downloadable worksheet. And if you're anything like me, I still need a planner (they have paper + digital versions). If you decide to purchase one use the code MALAYAMADE to get 10% off.  Do it, it's a game changer. Literally. It even teaches you hoe to create Game Changers.  Oh Ariana Trinidad, you changed my life. If I can buy you a drink one day, let me know 😉 Until then, I will forever use the Passion Planner + this amazing exercise to steer my ship. I hope you all do it too! Now go make some intentions that will bring out the highest expression of yourself and FUCK the rest.  You got this.  Passion Planner use code MALAYAMADE for 10% off Dreams Into Plans Exercise with Me FREE99 and such a game changer.
