Embrace your Inner CEO

I’m a 43 year old part time stylist for over 20 years. Recently leased a min studio suite. I have resonated with every episode I have listened to so far. You have giving me so much motivation, great reminders, validation as well as some entertainment and great knowledge. You ladies go a great job with communication and getting your points across. Currently listening to Embrace your inner CEO and OMG thank you for the confidence boost. 2025 New year New Me!
