Episode 607: You Can't Honor Yourself If You Don't Know Yourself

Episode Description from the Publisher

By midlife, most women have become experts in everyone else. What everyone else needs. What everyone else wants. What everyone else expects. And somewhere along the way, they lose touch with themselves. In this episode, I explore why self knowledge is the foundation of self trust, self respect, and self honoring. I share some of the practices that have helped me know myself more deeply, including solo travel, trying new experiences, entering unfamiliar environments, and asking better questions. The life you want cannot be built by someone who doesn't know who she is. Getting to know yourself isn't selfish. It's essential. Want everything in one place?
