Becoming Me The Necessary Practice of Making Space
EPISODE 8
It doesn't matter how much we understand conceptually about living authentically. If we do not make space in our overcrowded and busy lives to connect with ourselves and work on our interior journey, there will be no transformation in our life.
In this episode, I talk about why it is paramount that we learn how to make space in our lives. I also share about how an awakening to inauthenticity led me to learn this fundamental principle of making space, and how learning it transformed the way my husband and I live our lives and our marriage.

- Is there a space for you to just simply be?
Act.
- In your calendar block out some time within the next week or month and label it “White Space”.
