Design Thinking Life Playbook with Maybelyn H. Plecic is a compilation of overcoming life challenges through experimentation. My podcast Vitamae name translates to "Vita" which means "Life" in the Latin language and "Mae" a nickname my husband Jesenko gave me. I share my life and friends' stories with you to model valuing everyone's stories. Do you feel like you don't belong, you're alone, nobody understands you, and your life is not what you expected? I hope that after listening to my podcast episodes, you can get to know yourself more and are empowered to live the life you want.
