Girl Tries Life Podcast

Today on the podcast we're talking about all the good reasons for not getting what we want. We all know what we could be doing, 'should' be doing, need to be doing, or the action we'd like to take... but we often get in our own way. We're going to talk about why that is and HOW TO CHANGE IT! To take part in Cohort 3 of Don't Just Survive - Thrive: Building Resilience During COVID-19 email me.
