04/13/23 • 57 min
This episode looks at the idea of taking a beat to get revelation on where you are in life. Are you in a season where you just need to stop and regroup? Andre and Anitra discuss the necessity for taking time to find your true self without getting caught up in distractions. The siblings explore how you can focus on processing your experiences and opportunities to stop and assess. Let’s discover how a Gap Season helps you break down who you are and shed traits that don’t serve you and your future and help to develop your individual purpose. How can you use the Gap Season to develop and plan for the life you want to have rather than return to what is comfortable?
