REAL WOMEN. REAL LIVES.
A Special Podcast Series
Episode 20
In today's episode, Barb and Melissa discuss how perceiving something as unreasonable comes from doubt, especially when we are in uncharted territory. They encourage us to get less ‘reasonable’ and listen to our wisdom rather than preconceived ways of doing things.
In what areas of life could you get a little less reasonable?
