  • Iconic Women - Episode 14 - Finding the Gold

    In this episode we recap on all the Iconic women we have interviewed to date to find the gold - the golden nuggets that we can integrate into our everyday lives. There were many themes that were common across all episodes but the one that seems to stand out for me with all of them is embodiment. Each and every one of these Iconic women, though still going through their own growth path, are all embodying their work to the fullest. They are leaning into the things that light them up and despite the fear and obstacles, they rise regardless. They fill the skin that they are in and fully take ownership of the mark they are here to make.
