Guilt-Free Ways to Stop People Pleasing & Rediscover Yourself with Heidi Koch

How much are you prioritizing "you" in the decisions you're making? For women especially, we're often praised from a young age for being agreeable, for being accommodating. But what happens when you make the decision to live your life for you? Today, I'm joined by Heidi Koch, fresh off the heels of the Expanders Retreat, to dive into the step-by-step process on how to prioritize yourself without guilt, fear, or shame. Our conversation covers everything you need to take the next aligned step in life, from the first moment of awareness to discovering what you truly want and how to make it a reality.
