In this episode—just one day after the release of Burn the Map—Sean and I sit down to talk about why we keep trying to follow plans that were never guaranteed, and how courage becomes our compass when life blows those plans to pieces. We dig into stories from the book and from our lives, including moments where the path disappeared completely—and how we kept moving anyway.This is the heart of the message: Life rarely goes as planned… but that doesn’t mean you’re lost. Sometimes, the most powerful version of you is found in the detours, the dead-ends, and the decision to keep going when you have no clue what’s ahead.🔥🗺️ Get Burn the Map HEREhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1734167572/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Your story matters, so live it courageously!📌 Helpful Links & Resources▶️ Watch the video version on YouTube🌐 Visit Valerie’s Website💪 Learn more about Warrior Freedom Mentoring📚 Explore Valerie’s Books 💬 Stay Connected on Social: Facebook📷 Instagram🔗 LinkedIn
