    Curb Guilt to Amplify Your Authentic Essence
    2024/10/18
    Here’s the thing: Guilt is a sneaky thief. It steals our joy, undermines our confidence, and saps our energy. And let’s be honest, it’s a luxury we can’t afford if we’re serious about being a conscious leader.

    Women are conditioned to feel guilty for prioritizing our careers, our ambitions, and even our well-being. We’re expected to be everything to everyone, all the time. And when we can’t, guilt waltzes in, whispering that we’re failing.
