Episode 1129: How to Stop Killing Dreams by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less on Pursuing Your Passions Courtney Carver was stopped in her tracks with a scary MS diagnosis after decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all.
