ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today’s episode talks about the tiny steps it takes to make a leap of faith. It’s not always a blind jump off of a cliff and it’s perfectly fine to take time to find your footing and change direction. Anastasia Allison, founder of Kula Cloth, shares how when she was younger and looking for validation from the outside, she did what she thought she “should”. Limiting beliefs kept her dreams dormant until looking the biggest fear, or what should have been, straight in the eyes.
This moment impacted her for a long time and eventually helped her take small steps to discover what she truly wanted to do in life. Her vision became clearer and she started to see things differently and have new doors open. Kula Cloth was born out of passion, a true need, and love for the outdoors.
