Don’t worry, you’re doing just fine! This week’s episode is about alignment. Everyone’s talking about it lately and for good reason. We want to stand firmly in our purpose, but how can we, if we’re always anxious and sad? Does that mean that we aren’t aligned? How do we talk to our ancestors about this? And above all, how can we trust our own intuition and accept that maybe it’s all a part of our destiny? Connect with Juju! IG: @alittlejujupodcast/ @itsjujubae Tik Tok: @itsjujubae FB: Juju...
