she made me a believer
“I was recently at a retreat with Abby where she spoke about finding your purpose and stepping into your Ikigai. Not only is Abby one of the most insightful women I’ve met, she is also super funny. Abby is the kind of person who you want to be around because she makes you laugh, makes you feel better about yourself, she doesn’t take herself too seriously and she is really insightful.
One of Abby’s sayings is that every dreamer needs a believer, and she made me a believer of her. If you have the chance to be coached by her, please do not pass it up!”
