Summary

“I like the dreams of a future better than the history of the past.”

Colleen is a down to earth dream chaser doing things always that she loves and things that help others. She has a background in microbiology, radio and nursing and more recently started her passion project called Rockin’ Life which is a website and podcast that she launched in July 2015.

We delve into discussions around the benefits of practicing daily gratitude’s, key to having a strong mindset that assists you, and how to tackle life’s challenges. We also talk about reading, fears, perfectionism and how they all relate to the journey we take in life. Self-awareness is critical in taking the appropriate level of action forward. 

This is a really cool conversation and I hope you get something from it. Until next time peace, passion and purpose.

“Life is about having freedom and choices.”
