Two years ago, my husband asked what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day and I said I wanted to launch a Disney World website.
In this podcast, I talk about how I came to finally start this site after years of wanting to do it.

Quick tip of the day
Although it sounds cliche, following your passion is ultimately what will lead you to do what you’re best at and will be much less of a struggle than doing things you shouldn’t be doing.

Great podcast! Very inspirational. I feel like i've never really had a passion for any one thing and I really wish I could finally figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Perhaps I should look into getting a life coach. Ive never really thought about that but it seems like it could be really helpful.
