Women, Stop Apologizing
When I overhear myself and other women, we seem to be in a constant state of apologizing for our existence. It’s not serving us. With one foot squarely on humility, it’s time to open to our own divinity. Strike the balance between humility and recognizing our light and sharing it with the world. #sorrynotsorry
