Manage episode 407112929 series 3557896
Are you constantly putting others' needs before your own, always saying yes to their demands while denying yourself the things you truly want? By constantly turning down our own desires, we might be closing the door on amazing opportunities and adventures. Take a cue from Whitney's guest today, Monica Curtis.
As the co-founder of The Kindling Project, Monica, also known as Mic, is on a mission to empower women through connection, collaboration and creation. Recently celebrating a milestone birthday, she made a bold decision to invest in herself, declaring it her "year of yes." This past year, she said yes to new opportunities, friendships, travel and self-care.
Join the conversation as they delve into Mic’s transformative journey that led her to a point where she's now living her best life. Her revelation is simple yet powerful: you don't have to choose between this or that – everything you need is already within you.
Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode
