Live Your Peace accidentally stumbled on a gem. Nanette scheduled a Phone Strategy Session and a couple minutes into it I had to invite her to be a Live Your Peace guest on the spot! Listening to Nanette’s story was like unwrapping one present one after another as I was so moved by her courage and “I can do it” life! Her life is something out of a movie.
