”Listen to your heart. Turn the chaos off, turn the chatter off; The ‘I'm not good enough. I'm not important enough. What good am I?’ Just turn all that off. And what calls to you? That's a form of meditation. When you sit and calm your mind, you tune in. I connect the source to my divine energy. Tune in. What lights me up? What feels good? You're going to receive those messages. You're going to know. You're going to start feeling into it. Write it down. Honor your truth. Just a little bit every day.” In this episode of Women Thrive Podcast, host Abigail is joined by our empowering guest speaker Dawn Gaden.
