Hey Girl, Know Thyself Part 3
Do you find that you hold yourself back when it comes to certain things in life? Asking for that promotion? Attracting a good partner? Submitting that piece of poetry to the local magazine? Striking up a conversation with a stranger? What would life look like if that inner voice didn’t hold you back from following your heart? This is not always our fault.
