What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I talk with April Little, a coach, author, and deep-soul thinker, for a conversation that dives into identity, healing, and self-connection. April shared how a painful season of gaslighting and burnout cracked her wide open and guided her toward radical self-responsibility, embodiment, and the kind of self-care that transforms you from the inside out. We explored what happens when women define themselves by their roles, why self-care is about so much more than skincare and bubble baths, and how learning to embody peace changes everything. She also opened up about her new book The Me First Paradox, a coaching-on-paper guide that helps women rediscover who they are beyond the labels. This one is equal parts healing, awakening, and a permission slip to put yourself back at the top of your own list. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh. Bio: April is a transformational coach, author, speaker, and lifelong teacher.
