The biggest "facade" we can all probably relate to is the Royal Family. They appear to have it all together when seen in public but what's really going on behind closed doors? This episode is not about the Royal Family, it's about YOU! You may call it being fake, wearing a mask, putting on a face, putting up a facade.....but where are you doing it? and WHY?  Is there every a time a facade is a GOOD thing??? We put on facades at different times in our life and it's almost ALWAYS rooted in fear; fear of rejection, judgement, loss of respect, etc... Where did you learn how to "put on a face" and how is it effecting your relationships? How does it effect your children? What's the worst that could happen if you chose courage over comfort and showed your true self?   How do we find authentic connection? Through being vulnerable and authentic!  We explore all of this in todays' episode.

Fear is a natural human emotion but most of the things we're afraid of are not the types of things protecting our life, they're the types of things keeping us stuck and stagnant...from moving out of a toxic relationship to changing jobs or starting a new business,  or having that sticky conversation we've been putting off.  We get STUCK.

One of the most fun F words! When all material things pass away, we may not remember them, but we always remember fragrance. Scents are timeless and transient. Are there scents that take you back to a childhood memory? Something you smell that reminds you of a late loved one? Of course there are! Fragrance (perfume, oils, etc...)  is an accessory every fierce and feminine woman should wear, and in this episode we break down how to find the ideal fragrance and how to wear it;  from luxurious French perfume houses to being a Gucci-like girl on a Target budget. Enjoy!
