How frustration & fear lead to joy & adventure, Aisling Lalor

K2 Sales Podcast

In life we experience times of frustration, fear, imposter syndrome and the list goes on.

It’s if we allow these feelings, thoughts and experiences to take us over that will make the difference.

Do they paralyze us? Or do we use them as a catalyst for change?

Tune in to our first of a 2 part series with @Aisling Lalor, founder of Aisling Lalor Dental and Skin.

Aisling shares her story of frustration, overwhelm and despairing thoughts that brought her to a very low point in her life.

Digging deep, having a vision and desire for change along with community were her saving grace. These blessings allowed her to expand, evolve and become the fierce woman, athlete and

business owner she is today. Was there fear along the way? Absolutely. But she did it anyway. She bet on herself.

In our moments of despair, the obstacles in front of us are just that obstacles. In time and with clarity we see them as stepping stones to a better, brighter future.

Tune in to hear how the lessons of determination, resilience and belief helped Aisling find the rainbow through the dark clouds.
