Ep 22: How Personal Development Helped Me Overcome Self-Doubt
Personal development is a journey and one that I’m still very much in the process of. That said, I’ve had some significant breakthroughs in the last few years of my personal development journey that have helped me release the shame I attached to traumatic events in my childhood and begin to see myself as the intelligent, beautiful and capable woman that I am. I hope that by sharing my breakthroughs and hearing about my journey you will be able to gain insights into your life that you didn’t have before.

Ep 21: 5 Lessons Learned From A Recent Failure
Failure is a topic that’s uncomfortable to talk about and like anyone, I find it challenging to open up about the things that haven’t gone so well! But I’m definitely not immune from failure and I want to make sure you guys know that, so in this episode I’m sharing the ‘failure’ I experienced when I launched my new online course, Your Perfect Semester, in February this year and the biggest lessons I learned. I hope that by sharing my experience you will not necessarily avoid failure (I truly believe that if you’re not failing, you’re not trying anything new) but find yourself better equipped to handle it when it does happen.
