We had the good fortune of connecting with Shana Gourdine and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shana, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
When you are thinking that you should give up those messages, emails , or phone calls remind you that you are doing your purpose.When you know that the things you do is inspiring to others , it empowering them to be great , and give individuals confidence to become a better version of themselves. A lot of times we end up doubting ourselves and have to remember that we can give up because some one is counting on us to success so they don’t give up either. We learn that our purpose reminds us that we are doing great things that are inspiring others to keep going .
