If you're someone who is looking to create changes in their life in 2024, this episode is a must.

Self-care is where it STARTS. When you take care of yourself you are acknowledging that you are worth taking care of. From self-care comes self-love, from self-love we take action. Action leads to results. And results lead to momentum and transformation.

Let's take 2024 by the horns and level up together!

I hope that in sharing these candidly I will inspire someone to take a look back at their year and the lessons that they learned, or perhaps to ignite a spark in someone who hears the lessons I learned and feels motivated to take a look at the ideas in her own life.
