REAL WOMEN. REAL LIVES.
A Special Podcast Series
Episode 7
Life can feel heavy, and circumstances seem serious. But what if having a lighter state of mind could shift all of that?
Today, Barb and Melissa talk about the errant belief that ‘grinding’ and taking our lives and businesses too seriously is somehow beneficial.
Are there areas in your life where you can lighten up and discover the real possibilities of freedom and joy from a freer, lighter mind?
