Dreams into Goals!
That’s the message you need to take from this week’s episode: no excuses!
Here’s a family who didn’t wait for years off, the best equipment, the best timing, or the most experience. They just saw an opportunity, and took it.
Listen as Mariana tells us about her bike adventures of 400 miles across Canada to visit family and how her and husband took 3 kids, ages: 2,4, & 6 along for the ride.
She dives into how they prepared (less than you think!) and some great lessons learned from “under-preparing” It’s full of fantastic stories! What a boost of confidence for these kids as they’ve already tackled something huge!
A big takeaway from the interview was the valuable resource of opportunities, and the importance of not having regrets.
