This week, Kim talks with Suzy Wraines, an intrepid woman who shares her journey from being a 29-year-old army veteran to becoming a full-time RV-er and eventually a business coach.

The discussion highlights Suzy's struggle with PTSD, the challenges of switching from a structured environment to running a business, and the therapeutic process of identifying and overcoming subconscious blocks. 

The conversation also includes practical advice on approaching big, intimidating goals step by step, making the leap into online business, and the importance of valuing one's expertise in a helping profession. This episode is replete with inspiration for those looking to make significant life changes, seek healing, and find the courage to pursue their dreams.
