Instead of choosing one niche for the podcast, I decided that the niche is you… a simple, straight forward show about the power of not boxing yourself into any one category, title or niche, but embracing all of your gifts, having a better relationship with yourself and trusting your path (intuition). I’m not a \"category\" expert, just someone sharing my thoughts, perspectives and experiences on topics that really matter to promote a life of health, wealth, happiness & personal fulfillment.
