More than A Prison Wife

In this empowering episode of the Prison Life Podcast, we delve into the importance of setting personal goals for 2025 and becoming the best version of yourself. Often, we place our partners on pedestals, prioritizing their needs above our own. While supporting loved ones is vital, it's equally crucial to invest in our personal development. We discuss building essential skills to ensure independence and self-reliance, preparing for life's uncertainties. Additionally, I share my personal journey of embracing fitness and self-improvement, highlighting the transformative power of self-care. Join us as we explore strategies to prioritize your well-being, set meaningful goals, and embark on a journey toward self-empowerment in the new year.
