Today’s episode on the show reflects deep insights on subjects such as perseverance, perspective, and Pinterest!!!

Rachel Ngom initially caught my attention with her entrepreneurship journey of going from living on food stamps and having negative $400 in her checking account to building a business that was making multiple six figures as well as how she has mastered using the highly popular social media app, Pinterest. Which, as you will learn, can benefit anyone.

Before we recorded, I also learned that she recently moved to Senegal, a country in West Africa, which is ironically the same place where she met her husband. So, I thought it was only fitting given the times we are in to unpack some of her insights on the move, lifestyle there and also have us take a closer look at what we should be thankful for.

Today Rachel is the host of the She’s Making an Impact Podcast. She is a business and lead-generation expert, helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs drive more traffic, leads, and sales through Pinterest, blogging, and strategic use of automation.

We certainly uncover her story that I mentioned previously and exactly how she was able to overcome the struggles that came with that. We also discuss how to compress time in order to achieve massive success, creating a new normal in your life to break free from old habits and why you need to take risks in order to get what you want in life.

She shares some business tips, we talk about all things Pinterest, but my favorite part of our conversation was the perspective shift that she experienced from her move to West Africa that she shares. I think y’all will leave this convo feeling more grateful and blessed.

Topics discussed:

Why she moved to West Africa and the perspective and gratitude gained from doing so.

What it's like living in Senegal

Her comeback story of going from living on food stamps to making multiple six figures in her business

How she has overcome the multiple adversities in her journey
