Shannon Watts and Zerlina Maxwell on embracing change

Check out my Substack Live conversation with

Zerlina

on how she knew it was time to make a big change in her life, the signs that lead her there (and continue to show up), and what’s next in her adventure (spoiler alert: she wants to stay in Italy forever).

I interviewed Zerlina for my upcoming book, Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age. Pre-order now to read more about Zerlina’s journey and dozens of other women who have followed my formula for embracing their desires instead of fulfilling their obligations.
