People admire and respect you more when you are who you truly are. Join Margaret as she explores how to find yourself, how to overcome past trauma, and why being your authentic self will give yet you the respect of other.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Nature fulfils by providing human beings with the needs to survive and drive food, soil, water, medicine, and materials for shelter.
