Gifts are not for us; they are tools to help the world out there. How do you juggle multiple talents with everything you’re doing to fulfill your purpose and be the best version of yourself?

Today, Alex (Allie) Glenn joins us on the show as we explore her journey as a multi-talented artist and businesswoman.

In this episode, we dive into Alex’s multi-talents (music & fashion), using them to fulfill her purpose and juggling in between everything she’s doing to become the best version of herself.  She also expounds on getting your priorities right based on short and long-term goals, an interesting meet-up story with her business coach, and why investing in a coach is the best decision she ever made!
