EP 105: Put Down Your Sword & Shield

Life can feel like a constant whirlwind, leaving us in survival mode. In this episode, I’m exploring courage, trust, and the power of sisterhood.

I’ll talk about how societal conditioning keeps us in fight or flight, and why it’s time to let go of emotional defenses. We’ll explore the magic of real connections with the women around us and how faith can transform our challenges into opportunities for growth. Ultimately, it’s all about trusting ourselves and each other to build a sisterhood that lifts us up.
