In today’s episode, Barb and Melissa discuss the concept of being ‘all in’ in different areas of life. Despite not knowing if something will work out or be reciprocated, our hosts demonstrate that choosing to be all in creates a level of fulfillment that just doesn’t exist when we are reserved or waiting for outside indicators to give us the green light to show up fully. 



Are there places in your life inviting you to be all in?
