With the holiday season in high gear, do you feel like you’re being pulled in 100 different directions?
At the center of all of your roles and responsibilities, there’s a person. Someone who dreams of having more space to just “be.” But, with so many things crowding your to-do list every day, it’s hard to find the space to breathe.
What if you could find more ease and feel more present in every moment of your life? What if there was a way to relieve yourself of all of that stress? What if you could tap into that passion and excitement you once had?
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake welcomes Renee Metty, a co-contributor of the Ascend Community, a community for purpose-driven, high-achieving men and women looking to reduce stress and achieve goals with more ease and consistency.

Favorite Quotes:
1. What I realized is that I create space for people to gather and love that's inviting restoring and healing. And so whenever people ask me what I do, we, you know, I think most of us tend to say our role or what's like the job we're doing, but the bigger picture is, I am able to create space for people to allow them to unfold their journey. -Renee Metty
2. Often we don't realize the very people that are in our lives might be the people that completely change them. -Blake
3. Exponential growth can't be planned for, it's not ever what you expect it to be. And if you try to engineer it, it's like sand slipping through your fingers. -Blake
4. I've come to find that mindfulness is simply put, just awareness. It is bringing awareness to your moment-to-moment experience. It's just paying attention in a very different way. -Renee Metty
5. We're surrounded by people who are challenging us and showing us a better way, helping us find our way to create more extraordinary things in our lives and to actually reach our potential. -Blake
