Are you a mother?  Have you been feeling like you can't be yourself?  In this episode, we dive into all things womanhood and motherhood, and how to embrace our full selves, while also giving the best example we can to our children. In this episode, I talk with Joy Altimare, Chief Engagement, and Brand Officer at the industry-leader in health and wellness for over 100 years, EHE Health, joins us to discuss her experiences in being a female leader, and how she balances her business life and family life. We discuss the struggles of being a confident, smart female in business, and how that can translate into your family life and in your dating life as well. We also discuss how important it is to live a joyful life and be your truest self. Questions I asked: How has quarantine been for you? Why do you think it's important to be such a strong female role model for your daughter? Why is confidence scary to people? How does confidence translate in relationships? Why do you think that people want to put women and men in a box? When you were writing this speech, what was going through your mind? How do you build a good relationship? What are three tips on how to be the best badass women at home and at work? Why do you think women should be unapologetic about who they are? Topics Discussed: People-Pleasing. Female Leadership.
