Show Notes: Have you ever thought about how much POWER you truly have over your own life? After talking with Michael Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center, I realized we’re not just along for the ride—we are CO-CREATORS of our reality. His teachings are SIMPLE yet incredibly transformative. Even the smallest shift in perspective can open doors we didn’t even know existed. You don’t need a life-altering event to feel the MAGIC; it’s about showing up, setting your INTENTION, and letting the universe respond. This conversation REIGNITED my passion to live more intentionally and start CREATING the life I truly want. This is how TRANSFORMATION happens!If You Liked This Episode You Might Also Like These Episodes:#426: The Secret To Breaking The Glass Ceiling & Claiming Your Spot In The C-suite with Lisa Lutoff-Perlo Bestselling Author, Speaker, & former CEO of Celebrity Cruises#415: Why You Should Hire ANGELS with Heather!#410: What To Do BEFORE You Get Fired: Build Your Brand, Find Opportunities, & Stay Resilient with Heather!
