August is my birthday month and one of my favorites for that reason! I wanted to make sure I recorded my first episode back in August. Also, on August 15, I completed a year-long life coaching certification program. I always take August to reset and reflect, and in this episode, I wanted to share some of my reflections from this year and a few things I am looking forward to this year.
Three takeaways:
- How important it is to do something that feels a bit out of reach and go for it anyway.
- Willingness to experience any emotion
- Always have your back!
I am very excited to continue this momentum into my new year and continue to practice and embody each of these takeaways and learnings. I am also going to dive further into the sexuality and intimacy space and join a Sex, Love & Relationship certification program…with a specialty in perimenopause/menopause.
