In the first episode of the Unbalanced Boss Podcast, I take you behind my “why” for finally creating and launching the podcast, as well as launching the Unbalanced Boss Media Group – www.unbalancedboss.com. I also talk about my hope for opening up now and why I chose to focus on a certain group of women. I want women over 35 to feel seen and heard! I want us to realize that we are power and as women we owe it to ourselves to champion ourselves just as hard if not more than we champion everyone one else. I share some of my recent life changes and how the path to healing includes the unpacking of so many boxes; boxes that I tucked so far away I forgot that I had to deal with them in order to begin working on being whole. In this episode of the podcast, we really touch on how we can work better on self-love to stay in our alignment, or in our purpose!

Here are the five habits that we discuss and why it is essential to practice this so we can stay in our true powers as women!

Know Thyself and Know Who You Are - your first love should be yourself. Know your needs. Know your desires. Know your dreams. Know your values. Know your priorities. Know yourself basically.

Make yourself a priority. Sometimes we become so focused on other people that we lose sight of our relationship with ourselves. When we're not taking care of ourselves, it's hard to take care of anyone else. Your health is important, and so is your happiness. If you want to be there for all the people who need you, then make sure you're taking care of yourself first!

Practice creating boundaries – this is not geared towards keeping others out but keeping you in alignment with you. Know your non-negotiables in relationships. Things you won’t tolerate. Things you don’t want to compromise on. Things you don’t want in your life or in a relationship.

Have friends or a support system you can turn to that holds you up and fuels you. But you also have to be careful about who you allow into your life. Surround yourself with people who care and want the best for you. People who are positive and uplifting while also holding you accountable.

Stop the over giving and accommodating. Over giving usually comes from not seeing your own value and seeking approval. We believe the more we give, the more love we will get back. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that.
