Sometimes we're waiting for the skies to part or the timing to align for us to do the things we say we want to do...errr...need to do.   We feel like we have to have certain things in place to do the things that will get us what we want. But what if there's a better approach? This week Alicia Wood of Fuel Your Fire Podcast joins Jenn to discuss the alternative—an ultimately easier way to get from where we are now to where we want to be. The best part?
