What if, instead of viewing your emotions as a weakness, you saw them as a source of strength? Ashley Bernardi, Literary Titan Book Award Winner and Author of "Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission to Feel" learned how to step into her strength when she finally took the time to process her emotions. In healing from Lyme disease and the traumatic passing of her father, Ashley unlocked healing she didn't know she needed and stepped into a power that was waiting within herself. By healing herself, Ashley also leveled up as a leader which led to explosive growth in her business, Nardi Media. Ashley and I sit down to talk about her new book and what leading from authentic power looks like.
