One of the hardest things to do when you are beginning your journey is to create space around yourself to grow. Often times, this results in removing ourselves from toxic people, relationships & environments. When we first start our journey it’s easy to become self-critical especially when your supporting cast doesn’t support or believe in your vision. It’s easy for our friends, family & acquaintances to discount our efforts especially when they have a hard time believing in themselves. Some of the people who may seem like our closest allies can become toxic resources for our growth as their negative habits, beliefs & energy shifts towards us. This is a personal story of my experience with removing myself from toxic people when I first began My journey at 18 years old. This is a story about how creating space for the right people will clear the way for you to make massive strides towards the lifestyle you want.

When I was in college, I had the opportunity to interview Donald Trump on the Today Show. This was during the 2016 election cycle while he was campaigning for his candidacy in NH.
