Fighting to Survive

Coffee, Cocktails, and Clarity: Real Women, Real Talk

What’s your “Why?” That’s a question I faced during a therapy session. I’ll share my discovery through a deeply personal story. Let’s explore the concept of finding one's 'Why' and how that can be a transformational moment along with the emotional journey of seeking authenticity and self-awareness. We’ll discuss the challenges women face in balancing mental health, spirituality, and personal growth while grappling with a depth of emotions.

This episode emphasizes

· Embracing your true self

· Recognizing your current state

· Aspiring to authenticity

· Moving beyond survival mode to a more fulfilling life
