So it is with any relationship. So whether you’re working, you worked at home, or you’re retired, you’ll find a juicy nugget for you, and for your daughters in this one.

Questions we answer in this episode: What does it mean to be in your power and why do we need it? Can you describe what it feels like to be in your power? And what behavior would be true of a woman out of her power? What are common ways you see women getting kicked out of their power/common mistakes women make that keep them out of their power? A lot of times I see that we react to situations, why do we do that and what can we do instead? What can we do to get back in our power? When you say 'use our power' what power do we have and how can we use it? What does being in your power have to do with fitness and exercise? (or diet and lifestyle habits like prioritizing sleep?)
