Episode 6: Make yourself a Priority - with Special Guest Nagina Abdullah

11/4/2020
Making your health and your career a priority is a bizarre concept for womxn to understand. Practically speaking we get it, but when it comes to implementing it in our life, we have a hard time. Especially if you are a mom. The societal definition of a “good mom” isn’t someone who puts her health and career first. But is that true? What would life look like for you if you really did put yourself first? Your health, your career, your well being. How would your levels of fulfillment change?...

Episode 3: You Are Playing Small

10/14/2020
