Saying yes to everything, being hyper-focused, failing to implement balance, self-doubt and disbelief, one-sided friendships, not-speaking up, ignoring my mental and physical health and more. Look who is interested in leaving these things behind in 2021 and having a better 2022…me! Hey besties, this episode is a mind prep towards taking a step back from the inconsistencies and things that do not spark joy. Happy new yearrrr!
