#232: What does it look like to be in your power? In some instances, power can be a bold proclamation, and at other times it can be a calm, quiet knowing. When we aren’t in our power, we can feel stuck, burned out, or like we aren’t living up to our potential. However, we can learn how to reframe our relationship with power to use it as a tool for growth.
Today I’m sitting down with entrepreneur, author, and founder of Woman Evolve, Sarah Jakes Roberts for a powerful conversation on how to build confidence, embrace flexibility, and make power moves.
