Too often women are concerned with the needs and wishes of everyone around them and they put themselves last on their list. We are the caregivers, the teachers, the mothers, and everyone else’s needs come before ours. We are always doing for others and our cup never gets full. But the problem is when we don’t fill up our own cups, we are depriving our loved ones and those people around us from getting the best of us. And, I am here to tell you taking time for ourselves and NOT apologizing for it is imperative. 

In this episode, I will be talking to you about what to do when you genuinely don't know how to do something. Whether is be how to function happily in relationships, or how to eat in a way that sustains a happy body. What do you do when you don’t know how to do something?

Together we will explore how to get clear with your own feelings in order to become a more authentic version of yourself.  I will also share with you the benefits of sharing those feelings and intimate parts of your inner self with those in your life who you value and want to build stronger connections with.
