6. You Don’t Have to Be Nice & Other Truths About Flourishing with Louisa Jewell

Women can feel a lot of pressure to “be nice”, even when people aren’t being nice to us, or when it’s not in our best interest. Sometimes we need to let go of the pressure to please others and have the courage to live life on our own terms. If we truly want to flourish, we need to have the confidence to live a life that is in alignment with our own definition of success. Join me for this inspiring conversation with the author of Wire Your Brain for Confidence, Louisa Jewell, as she shares her story about having the courage to take the exciting leap to follow her own definition of success and live life on her own terms.
