Girl, Your Journey Starts Here Podcast

Join me as I delve into the transformative journey of women's healing during Women's History Month. In this podcast, I shine a light on three essentials I feel that serve as the foundation for a woman's healing journey: a voice, self-compassion, and a backbone. Discover why having a voice is crucial for expressing emotions, setting boundaries, and seeking support. Explore the power of self-compassion in nurturing resilience, acceptance, and inner peace. Learn how cultivating a backbone empowers women to stand firm in their truth, advocate for themselves, and embrace their inherent strength. Enjoy

✨Happy New Year, and welcome to the first episode of the year! I'm so happy to have survived 2020, so let's get to working on those goals for 2021!! Complaining is a harmful habit that distances us from self-realization because once we complain about something, we end up saying something we don’t want, instead of saying what we really want... In this episode I will explain why it's time to put those complaints aside and start checking off those things on your to-do list! You have been complaining all 2020, now it's time to take ACTION! Remember anyone can come up with a goal, but not everyone has the ability to achieve it. For that to happen, you need to take action first. Goals are not like dreams or prayers. You cannot just close your eyes and wish for it to happen. You have to do something and STOP COMPLAINING! Happy Listening, Olivia B. Shepherd
