Most of us have spent a lot of time this past year alone, in the house, and reflecting. If you are like both of us, you have been able to use some of this time away from the hustle and bustle to try to ask yourself some tough questions. In this episode, Danielle and Lucy take time to explore some of these questions, including: what does it mean to be genuine? When you are alone, do you like who you are? When do you know you are being your genuine self? Danielle and Lucy both offer helpful tips and tactics for doing this work.
