Description:
We all have good intentions.
To eat healthier, exercise, read more, and scroll less. To have better relationships with our spouses, children, friends, and co-workers. To live a life we are proud of and that we love to live.
Unfortunately, most of our daily actions feel urgent rather than intentional. We can't keep our head above water, we struggle to get ahead, and we're always waiting for things to slow down. That's when our good intentions are overshadowed by excuses, and circumstances that are out of our control.
Fortunately, our busy lives are not mutually exclusive from living lives of purpose and living out our passion.
Author Desiree Petrich believes wholeheartedly that we can build a life that we love, even while feeling a bit overwhelmed. But first, we must choose to find purpose, passion, and gratitude in every day, even on days that feel hard. That requires taking intentional action toward continuously getting to know ourselves better, having positive and productive internal dialogue, and taking control of the things that we can control.
Desiree hopes that others will take the lessons from her failures and successes on their journey to becoming the best version of themselves and be inspired to take action on their goals and dreams!
Through the lens of Desiree's brilliant Foundation of Self framework, Taking Intentional Action will help you build a strong sense of self-engagement, self-worth, and self-awareness, all as it relates back to living a happy life, the life you choose to lead.

There is always a way we can do and be better."-Jessica Burgio Holistic Life and Business Coach
