Have You Lost Your Identity

It's difficult to truly be yourself in the modern world. Especially as a woman, wife and mother.

Often those pressures and expectations mean that your own needs and identity are subsumed to the needs of others.

This can cause a lot of stress in your life as your happiness takes a back seat to the needs of everyone else. This can be especially difficult to new mothers and working women.

But Julie will share the strategies that helped her to take control of her identity, and become her fullest self, helping her become a more balanced and happier person.

And maybe these strategies can help you to be your true self.
