If you are lacking direction, feel stuck, and are allowing the fear of failure and other people’s opinions to limit you from moving forward in your life this podcast is for you! You will LOVE hearing the heart behind award winning journalist and my dear friend, Cristina Mendosa. I met Cristina while reporting for News 93.1 KFBK in Sacramento. I was in between jobs and she was a very supportive advocate. Now I’m blessed to be able to call her friend. I admire her. She has a morning radio news program, her own video production company, and is now producing documentaries! This podcast is a result of a lunch we had together.
