EPISODE 9: 11 lessons explanting taught me last year, and what’s coming in 2023!
Happy New Year Breasties!
Reflection is an important part of setting yourself up for success in the new year! These are the valuable lessons I’m taking away from 2022, which came to me thanks to my explant journey. I’m also excited to share with you what’s to come in 2023- both personally and related to this community!
Warning: This episode is like a new year journal entry - unscripted and unrehearsed. Hot tip- listen on 1.5x speed when I'm talking slowly haha!

Mantra:
I am patient with my healing process. I feel my angels holding me today as I grieve what I have lost and who I no longer am. I accept what I cannot change and find the courage to change the things I can. My life has purpose and I live today in compassion and love.
