This podcast is a reminder to take a pause, reflect on ourselves! We have heard it all! There is an information overload!! It is overwhelming. This is unfiltered! Time to get into action mode✨ If it’s a pep talk that you need, this is for you. If you want a chance to be heard, this is for you. I speak but I listen too. I’ll have my peers on board occasionally and talk about stuff that affect our personal growth-culture, health, motivation- we will talk about everything that supports or hinders YOUR growth. More power to you. Peace, Ami
