Today I'm chatting with Ex-Full-Time Entrepreneur Kiara Lyles about the importance of changing your mind. After being a successful full-time entrepreneur, Kiara realized she wasn't happy and pivoted to working 9-5. In this episode, we're talking about changing your mind, developing self trust, how to tune out opinions of other people, and the importance of being authentically you.
