I was honored to be a guest on Amanda Dennelly’s podcast One Simple Shift. She heard about my recent shift to an entirely pay-what-you’re-able model for my 1-on-1 coaching services and wanted to know more about how I came around to that decision. I can tell you one thing, it certainly wasn’t simple, but once I had the clarity, there was no turning back. Listen here!

I was honored to be a guest on The Moons Within Radio where host Indigo and I talk about multi-dimensional self-care, how I practice in each of those areas, and what my journey to self-care looked like.
