Send us a textTune into this week's episode of "Living an Intentional Life Podcast" as I had the incredible honor of sitting down with Connie Betz, a former Intentional Living Blueprint client! Throughout this episode, "Are You Living Your Life for Yourself or for Others " we deep dive into the signs that brought her to the point of leaving her career and starting a business, how she is moving through the very real feeling of free falling, routines and rituals that keep her aligned and how she is really making decisions and building her life based on her terms! Connie also shares a lot about her journey and experience as she moved through and completed by 12 chapter guided program, Intentional Living Blueprint and how it really created the foundation for her getting to know herself and begin to move into the curiosity of her career change! You can learn more about the program here and apply via booking a complimentary connection call! About Connie : I am a registered nurse turned travel advisor and virtual assistant! After being a registered nurse for almost a decade (and let's face it, living according the expectations of others) I was burned out, and so I decided to shift into something completely different.  I connected with Ashley when I was looking for a wedding photographer, and just fell in love with her energy. Careerwise at the time I felt lost, so I attended one of her coaching workshops and afterwards decided to enroll in her Living Courageously Blueprint program! Through this program I reconnected to my heart-centered foundation and started living a life on my own terms. I started my virtual assistant and travel business last year as a way to explore my own interests in travel, tech, social media, web design, etc. and so far I'm really loving it!Connect with Connie : Instagram More from the Podcast : Intentional Living Connection Call  Work 1:1 with Ashley FREE MASTERCLASS - 5 Steps : How to Discover Your Dreams INSTAGRAMMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / tristenwhaley@me.com / Spotify
