Self-awareness is great, but how do you know when you're out of alignment? In this episode, Rosie explores the importance of engaging others to support us in showing up as the best version of ourselves and remaining aligned with our core values. While self-awareness is a powerful tool, we often get in our own way, and sometimes others notice when we're off track before we do.
