March 09, 2023 10:00 - 38 minutes - 53.5 MBWhen you have goals and aspirations it’s normal to look for someone that can help you reach them. Having a mentor to help guide you can be a great thing.

It’s no wonder that as women we struggle with people pleasing, seeking validation, and not being able to tune into what we really want - we’re literally socialized to do these things.
