Stef Caldwell was on track to complete her 10-year plan until she got the call from her boss. Her position at work had been eliminated. She was moved to a new role in a new department, but it completely devastated her.

    • Standout Quotes:
    • “My personal mission to help women claim their power and step into their potential.” -Stef Caldwell [06:28]
  • “And in that moment, I realized that 100% of my self worth was tied up in who I was in the office, and that just couldn’t be the case anymore.” -Stef Caldwell [10:34]
  • “Self-love, in the way that we define it in Manifest, is expressing a deep affection for your essential being. And self-care, as we define it, is the health, welfare, maintenance and protection of your essential being. And when you start reframing self-care is like what do I need for my health? What do I need for my welfare? What do I need for the maintenance of me and for the protection of me? You start really shape shifting.” -Stef Caldwell [38:49]
