Rather than sacrificing health and relationships in pursuit of business goals, we discuss how nurturing yourself fully allows you to show up as a more effective leader and create sustainable growth. The chapter shows how our biggest challenges often redirect us toward our true purpose when we remain open to the Universe's guidance.
