Thanks for listening Zenobia! Mikki was amazing to talk to and learn from.
Wow! What an inspirational woman! Thanks for introducing her to us Doreen Rainey. I love you podcast. There are so many great take aways: “Imaging is your billboard, losses, setbacks, challenges are a part of the journey, you can’t rule on the mountain top without a journey through the valley, own life and master purpose with distinction,” and my favorite, “Faith is nothing if it’s not defining your life!” There are so many life changing nuggets in this conversation. Thank you Mikki Taylor and Doreen Rainey for this impactful broadcast. I plan to listen again and take even more copious notes!
