Can you hear your inner voice when it speaks? Do you know what feels like a yes to you, and what feels like a no? In today’s episode, Rachel is transitioning into the fall season. She opens up with a discussion on the chickens, her coming plans for her farm and garden, and her family life.
This is a time of year where many of us feel the need to get more organized and structured. And to do that - we need to set boundaries. What is your experience with setting boundaries? Are you in a deep, connected relationship with yourself, where you can stand up for what you need? Or do you shy away from confrontation and keep the peace at the expense of your wellbeing? The first step is to learn who you really are. Tune in for an episode that will help you hear your inner voice loud and clear.
