This week, we are challenging you big dreamers to run an experiment in your own life. It does not have to be fancy. You can see what it is like to try a new food every day, or try to go seven days without complaining or gossiping about others. We guarantee you’ll learn a lot about yourself from this challenge. As always, we have free custom download to encourage you to do this challenge, which can be customized with your face and name. Click here to claim you free download.  

If this coming week you conduct an experiment in your own life, please let Olga know by emailing her at [email protected]. You will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon Gift card.  Winners are selected monthly and contacted by email (as well as announced on our show!).
