There are many ways to change our mindset and get beyond our limitations. But this week is quite the twist. Lottie Moore talks to us to her from her home in Oxfordshire, England. At midlife, a low point in her life, Lottie picked up and moved to West Africa as part of a volunteer program. It was a leap. But it put her on a path of self-discovery and adventure. Now, she helps other mid-lifers take leaps into the extraordinary. She coaches while summiting the highest peaks in the world, creates fire rituals, trains firewalkers and encourages us all to walk paths less traveled. Lottie’s mission is to help us all find personal freedom, success, adventure and inner peace. She’s a lot of fun too.
