83 | Breaking up with the exclamation point: reflections on letting go of “nice” Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is another piece of my writing that I’m sharing with you. It’s about what it means to build strength as a woman, and what it means to let go of people pleasing and replace it with authenticity and truth. It’s about the grief and struggle involved in saying goodbye to old pieces of ourselves, but also the glory of replacing those pieces with something strong and new.
