She shares what it is like to be on the other side of transition, handling expectations and, more than anything, what it means to let your heart be set on fire for the things that make you ... well, you!"</li> <li> Episode 8: <a href="https://inpassing.buzzsprout.com/1948841/10475005-letting-go-and-moving-forward-ft-evin-nazya-musgrove" target="_blank">Evin Nazya Musgrove</a> "Unfortunately it's true, even good things don't last forever. In this episode three girls dive in and table talk quickly turns deep as Evin takes us into her own journey with letting go and moving forward. Find yourself in the story as Evin shares the hard-hitting truth that sometimes it takes a 'no' to find a better 'yes.'
