So often we want to know in advance what our life will look like, what decisions we will make along the way, and what results those decisions will lead to. We want to come up with the perfect plan today and then simply stick to it for the rest of our life.

But life is not meant to be lived by a plan.

And as much as we want to predict the future, it cannot be predicted.

Instead, we can shape our future - by the steps we take every day.

And it all starts with firsts - actions, decisions, and events that shift the direction of our lives forever. They show us who we are, what we are made of, and what we stand for.

In this episode, I am joined by a guest - an amazing, passionate, brave woman and my dear friend Ashlee Sang. She is sharing her story about how the 4 years she lived in Senegal, a country that many of us haven’t even heard about, shaped who she is, what she stands for, and how she sees the world today.
