It's no secret that your mindset can radically shift the course of your life. For many years I had bought into the lie that I would never be enough for others, that I would always be in lack and that I better get used to standing at the end of the line. It took me being wracked with physical and emotional pain to understand that I needed to break the lie that I would always live in uncertainty and fear. There was more for me but I had to first believe that it was possible. Scarcity is a lie and ...

Love it or hate it, the body you have is the only one you will ever have. And yet we treat our body with such disrespect.

One of the deepest struggles we face as women is coming to terms with our true self. From a very young age, we can be bombarded with images and societal pressure to be something that we are not.

My friend Amanda sat down with me and graciously agreed to let me coach her for the podcast. Now, this is not the first session we...
