Episode 27: Simple Self-Care Practices For The Everyday Woman with Laura Goff
Being the Chief Empowered Officer™ of your life requires putting your mental, spiritual, and physical health at the forefront of everything you do.
Intellectually we know this, but we struggle to put action to words.
As women, we're conditioned to believe that our worth comes from external sources - praise from our peers, children, and partners, but I call B.S. Our worth is intrinsic, which is why it's important to nurture, honor, and protect it daily with self-care practices.
In this episode, Laura Goff joins me to discuss the importance of self-care practices for women, how to shift your energy throughout the day, and the tips for using your Intuition as a guide. Laura is the founder of Beacon Acupuncture, a Licensed Acupuncturist (LAc) and board-certified Chinese Herbalist.
