Summary

Is it selfish to go after my big dreams and goals? That's almost always the first question I get when I talk about living on purpose. We women are used to making sure everyone is taken care of before we worry with ourselves. What if we could turn that around? What if we could let go of feeling selfish so that we actually could make the impact we want in the world around us? Today's episode will inspire you to rethink self-care and reframe how you show up for yourself.

0:36.6	choosing to step back away from the chaotic
0:39.3	rush of your everydays and choosing. Choosing to see that it's your world and it's filled with
