Join my friend, Maura and I for a nourishing real chat that begins with a grounding practice and explores the elusive concept of 'balance' -what even is that anyway? They discuss the challenges and importance of authenticity, sharing personal stories and insights from their journeys. The conversation touches on the impact of societal expectations, the necessity of play, and the importance of listening to oneself. Discover how to navigate life's wobbles, embrace vulnerability, and find harmony in both personal and professional realms. We each get real about personal 'messes' that have gone on to become magic in their messaging.
