Monet Izumi is our first guest who tunes in from another country. Get ready to dive in with this dear friend of mine from Japan; the 5' 2" basketball influencer with 53k followers who's small in size but big at heart! Monet shares her story of becoming an international student-athlete in the United States and what her journey was like adjusting to a different cultural and belief system.  She accounts her experiences building a relationship with God and opens up about some dark times in her past that left her feeling hopeless. Monet further shares a bold insight as to why people from her country struggle to express their feelings and cope with difficult emotions. She also makes beautiful connections through the game of basketball and shares her journey to playing as a professional overseas. Throughout this whole episode you're sure fall in love with this cute hooper and her burning testimony of Jesus. In her words, "He has a plan for you. Trust God's plan!"
