As a part two to last week’s discussion on self esteem, Skye and Amanda read The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman and discuss what it means to use our imagination to unleash new, confident versions of ourselves. 

The two define what an alter ego is and how it can take us from operating from our trapped self who lives in fear and self doubt to living within our heroic self, the self who knows who they are, takes the chances and reaches their goals. Each of the ladies discuss the main area of their life where they see the need for the alter ego and begin to imagine who their alter ego is - from name to characteristics to how they show up.
