Everyone has a story - who's writing yours?

…and she lived happily ever after. As little girls we bought into the fairy tale, so sometimes as women, we want to live a life without any challenges or hiccups — and effortlessly sail into retirement.  But the reality is: ALL good stories have conflict.  The meaningful things in life are created through struggle. Good stories aren’t planned out or predictable. In fact, a good story is one where you have no idea what’s going to happen, but you can’t wait to find out. In today’s episode, you’ll discover how to reframe your story to unlock happiness, peace, and a life you’re truly proud of. Listen now!
