16: Finding Empowerment While Taking An Unconventional Path

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What if the vision or life you have in mind for yourself doesn’t line up with what friends, family or even society expect from you? Do you stay comfortable and keep checking off all of the boxes on the list of what you *should do*, or do you venture off in another direction because it actually makes you happy, In today’s episode, I’m discussing what happens when we choose to go after goals or live a bit *unconventionally*. I help you break away from the idea that there’s only one right way to do things, challenge you to start asking yourself why you’re choosing things in your life and teach you the secret for dealing with the doubts that may creep in if you opt to do things differently.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next week, I will be premiering a new workshop, Second Month. February is often when people start to fall behind on their New Year’s goals, so it’s the perfect time to work with other women and me to keep yourself on track. I promise to help you reach your goals and gain confidence even if you’ve given up or decided to change what you want to achieve. The workshop will be held online at February 13 at 4PM PST/7PM EST.
