4x NYT Best Selling Author Luvvie Ajayi Jones on How Saying "Yes" Changed Her Life |

What happens when you remove fear and finally say “Yes” to what your life is calling you to do? Four time New York Times Best Selling Author, speaker, and coach, Luvvie Ajayi-Jones was a highly sought-after marketer who blogged as an outlet after she graduated college. As she continued to share her musings and stories online, the world found value in what she had to say. Years later, her writing skills have created a life she never even dreamed of living. Now, she’s empowering all of us to tell our individual stories and own our collective power.
In episode 5, she joins Gia to discuss all that can happen when you own your story, say “Yes” to your dreams, and how she is re-prioritizing peace and rest to make way for more intentional productivity.

[@lateishaclement]

This was literally so encouraging. I found myself in Luvvie's words and even paused to video to think, "What would my five-years-ago self need me to write, now?" I thought about it solemnly and the answer came to me. "Be still. Stop running." I also said, "I want to be interviewing more!" I am so inspired by you, Gia! You're amazing🎉 and have such a gift of crafting conversation so effortlessly. It's beautiful. You're a gift.😘❤

I don't want to write a book but this episode was full of so many life lessons that I feel i will coming back to it over and over again. I follow Luvvie on facebook but i wouldn't say I really knew alot about her as a person outside her professional work. This podcast helped me 'meet' Luvvie and see what a down to earth and lovely person she is. Also to see that we all struggle and it's what you do in the struggle. I sometimes feel like I am drowning but now i can understand i can learn how to let go and just float ❤Thank you Gia for this interview.
