Have you ever stepped back and said, I feel successful, or I made it? I was at a point in my life where you would think I had it all, but really I was miserable and allowed myself to lose my voice and identity. When I left, I brought that fear right into my next business until I learned not to let others’ control downplay my value.
In this episode I want to tell my story and help look inward and make sure you are not losing your voice in what you may think is success, so let’s dive in.
