This episode is with Marcela Abadi Rhoads, FAIA RAS and I chose her for the first episode of the new year because we need some positivity and inclusivity for 2025!!!! 

She not only has a great architecture firm that specializes in Accessibility but she also has such a great outlook on life! I follow her on social media and she does an awesome job as a coach and motivational speaker. 

I look forward to her inspriational posts every day when I open up my screen and see her saying "Sometimes I don't feel like doing what I have to do as far as staying on top of my life goals every day, but I know that I need to and I don't beat myself up over it and move on"  (sic) because she uses video and I don't have the script!  

She also posts recipes and that's always great for those of us who get bored with what we eat everyday but we know we have to stay in line for our health!

Thank you Marcy for  starting the year off with your AWESOME INSPIRATION!!!
