What does it really mean to be a powerhouse? Today I’m sharing a peek behind the scenes of my current season of deep transformation in a Q&A session with my amazing podcast manager Brianne, and what it has taught me about true self-empowerment. The biggest thing I’m learning? You can only grow as much as you’re willing to look deep within yourself–at your fears, insecurities, and vulnerability. I’ll share how I’m learning to prioritize my own needs while still showing up for the people I love, how I’m clearing space, and what it has looked like to start healing my inner child in order to meet the most authentic version of myself.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
00:30 What would you tell yourself one year ago?
04:10 What does the process of empowering + choosing yourself look like?
12:00 What fears came up for you during this season?
20:20 Helpful practices for healing your inner child.
24:30 The key to creating more space for yourself.
32:50 How have your personal needs translated into your business?
