Have you ever had something you’re passionate about achieving but that you’ve put on the backburner for various reasons? Maybe you pursued a different career, or were raising a family, or maybe you were simply trying to navigate the demands of life and somehow that passion became buried. 

Does this sound like you? If so, this week we’re going to explore the idea of reigniting your passions, hobbies and dreams so that you can lead a truly fulfilling life. 

Meet Melissa Davey, this week’s inspiring guest. She is 73 and retired from a lengthy corporate career in 2016 to pursue her passion of becoming a filmmaker. The work she has been doing as a successful filmmaker has been truly incredible.

Melissa is a true testament that it’s never too late to learn something new, or go after what really lights a fire within you…and that this too can be YOUR story!


❤️Your Dare for this week is to make a list of all of the things that have interested you or that you’re curious about. Maybe there's only one thing or maybe there's 10. 

Then, let one come to the top, one that's the most inspiring and interesting to you.  I dare you to sit with that for a while and then make a list of all of the reasons why you shouldn't do it  or couldn't do it.  And then make a list of the reasons  why you should and what you need in order to make that start to happen.
