Are you okay with being an “extra” in your own show? Most of us stumble through this life carrying around old identities, and out dated behaviors that we have long outgrown. Me included!

March is Women’s History Month. Celebrate yourself Queen! Women's History Month is an annual observance to highlight the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. Throughout history, the vision and achievements of powerful women have strengthened our Nation and opened the doors of opportunity wider for all of us. Women should be celebrated every day, but a month dedicated to female empowerment is extremely special. In episode 17, “Bad Girl Syndrome” we’re analyzing the makings of a baddie.
