About this episode

Today’s guest is a beautiful soul who I have been SO excited to sit with! We chat about her journey from working as a receptionist, all the way up to running her own community - Ghizlan shares the lessons she had to unlearn, the mindset she had to adopt, the challenges she faced as a high achiever and the mistakes she made. She always leaves me feeling SO inspired and empowered! I loved everything about this chat.
