Okay. So admittedly this topic is probably my most talked about LIFE LESSON. But hear me out.I truly believe this is one of the most critical areas of focus if you want to curate a life that truly matters to you.It is astonishing to me how so many people simply are limited in their self-awareness.

This is Part ONE. Part TWO comes next week.During this episode we are breaking down WHY self-awareness is so critical, HOW it is impacting you and your relationships, and we learn TWO of the SIX REASONS Self Awareness is your Secret Power.

As a matter of fact, LIFE often DEMANDS that we stay on the fast track, with little hope of catching up or keeping up with all the demands. But sis. YOU HAVE TO RESIST! Hear me sis....RESIST!YOU ONLY GET ONE CRACK at this thing called LIFE and I don't want you to miss it chasing an unattainable "mark" or destination. But again.

Just different…with its own consequences• The benefit of TOUGH conversations and how I often missed out on the benefit because of my response to conflict• How critically important transparency is in Friendship• What it means for people to “BE FAIR” when it comes to unpacking their role in conflictYes, we discuss all of that and so much more in Part 2 of our chat.And we really want to hear from you.

The name of the book is "Unplanned Perfection: Finding hope beyond the disappointment of life, loss and love" and it is a powerful story of her journey...but it is not just for her. It's for you and I! and it is a powerful story of her journey...but it is not just for her. It's for you and I! During part 1 of our 2 part conversation, Nikki and I dive into so much!
