Welcome back! On this weeks podcast episode I share with you two experiences I have had that I always come back to when I think about what kind of healing space I want to create for women.

I don't really do new year's resolutions, but I do like to let a word choose me to focus on for the next year. In 2020 my word was "surrender", which seems quite fitting for what that year held for all of us. As I sat and asked the Universe for guidance into 2021 my words came to me...Radical Self Love. At the time I knew it was perfect and I was ready for that journey, but I had no idea what exactly the Universe had planned for me. We are almost 1/2 through the year and I have experienced...
