In 2021, Deneen chose “live” as her word and “Live a Dream Lifestyle” as her focus. She dreamed, decided, and drove, her 3 Ds, to what this would look like (lots of travel) and shares this journey to encourage others to do the same. Deneen made a bold move by retiring early and launching Deneen Consults.
