Permission to be a mother hustler and pencil in “well days” on the calendar. Renee Hribar is a sales coach and a TEDx speaker who works specifically with women entrepreneurs. As her sales consulting business grew over the years, Renee had the courage to ask herself honestly – “what type of life do I want to live?” In this episode, we explored: How travel is truly a form of self-care and how Renee gave herself permission to travel to Europe for 6 weeks straight with her family. If we can make time for sick days, why can’t we make time for “well days” too?

In this episode, Sharon Thorp and I explored life after divorce and the courage it takes to give yourself permission to break ‘the rules’ and do the things you didn’t think were possible on your own. Sharon shared her story of giving herself permission to live her best life, how she overcame the fear of traveling by herself, and the beauty of meeting others with a like mind and a like heart. Age is a gift that's not given to everybody, so Sharon’s advice is to totally embrace it, do what makes you happy and to learn that after decades of caregiving, you are important, too. Happiness is a choice so let’s choose to embrace our inner selves and take that trip, eat that cake, and buy that dress!
