We are continuing our season of journeys and in this week’s episode, Nicole Annette shares her journey building an intentional foundation to live a more balanced, yet nuanced, life. Nicole Annette is a writer, coach, and creator, Journal Junky where she makes handcrafted books. Nicole’s mission is to teach women to identify, redefine, rewrite & release toxic stories so they can flourish & have a greater impact in their lives, their families, and their businesses. One of the recurring themes during our conversation was our journey to self-care and self-love. When we started on this path, one of my favorite quotes from Audre Lorde came to mind which says,
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
It’s time to bloom….
