say YES to yourself!
Saying yes to yourself is not about being selfish, it's more about self-preservation, self-care, self-compassion. It’s a practice and it’s like any muscle that needs exercise - it’s awkward until it’s elegant. Each week on the say YES to yourself! podcast you’ll hear stories from women just like us who are adding this practice to their daily lives in big and small ways and as a result are experiencing the truth that everybody wins when you say YES to yourself!
