Naturally wired into some women is the need, desire, pressure to wear many hats. Let’s question our reasoning, drive and passion behind wearing these hats. Sometimes they are just cute and fun, who doesn’t love a good hat, right? :)

Why is it important to know my values? How can I live into them, what does that even mean? Good questions! I’m going to attempt an answer now, by giving personal examples from my life.

Whoosh, just like that, I took back my freedom.
