Thank you Gloria, I have been working on that vulnerability factor for what feels like a lifetime but have only became aware I needed to open to that level of honesty within the past decade. Great to know you're reading! Someday I will meet you in person:)

Thank you for sharing your vulnerable heart. This 'rope ladder' of constant striving is something I'm sure so many of us can relate to - thank you for giving it a name. Love you.

You are welcome! I think it's a daily practice to decide to get off...creative ambition vs ladder ambition according to Maria Bowler.

Jaclyn, you are truly an inspiration to all who know you well and those who take the time to read this blog…. but I will say as someone I consider Family it was very difficult to read about your inner torment and financial struggles. I am so so glad you and your family are enjoying life now. The future looks radiant!

Just remember that your family, your coaching clients and your chiro patients have all benefited immensely from all you provide and the support you give to us. Thank you for staying on the metaphorical rope, for sharing your wisdom and may God guide & bless you always.

Thanks Kevin, for the blessing and the encouragement. My ambition has shifted from ladder ambition to creative ambition, which makes it much more fun and I am still accused of being very ambitious haha

Thank you Annemarie, for your kindness and openness to my story. I am blushing:)

I am grateful for readers like you who appreciate my vulnerability. I am always practicing it and while it's never easy, it helps when it is received. It really changes us to be open and vulnerable and then we can watch others open and shine their light too.
