Conscious Conversation with Lakia Downs MSW, LISW-CP

Inspiring _Empowering_Transformative Welcome to Walking Through Glass: The Podcast. You are invited to ear-hustle on an intimate conversation where we discuss our journey, joys, and diva hacks that help us “walk through glass”. Our conscious conversations are unscripted and real. They tell our stories and share how we do our best to navigate fear, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, limited beliefs, negative self-talk and other BS (belief systems). Walking Through Glass: The Podcast is not about breaking through the "glass ceiling" it is about the struggle we face as women on our journey which I’ve coined "walking through glass". We are all on the same journey although we may take different paths. No matter what we must #embracethejourney. Please join me in welcoming special guest Lakia Downs.
