In today’s episode, I’m going to dive into a topic that has come up NUMEROUS times lately for both myself and amongst many other women in my life. Today is an opportunity for me to ask you, “are your goals what you actually want?” So often we latch onto a goal because we think it sounds good or we think it’s something we should achieve. But does that goal actually align with your values and what you want your everyday reality to look like? In this episode, we cover: What is your definition of su...
