How to harness your inner mean girl and fall in love with the person looking at you in the mirror
If re-learning to love yourself, knocking your business goals out of the park, and mastering work-life integration sounds good to you, then you’re going to want to hear this episode with my guest Melissa Ambrosini.
She’s a multiple bestselling author, keynote and TEDx speaker, #1 podcast host, and queen of mastering your Mean Girl. Oh, and she’s also been coined a “Self-help Guru” by Elle Magazine… no big deal.
I loved this conversation with Melissa because it’s filled with tangible, heart-felt honesty — which, let’s be real, we can all use — especially when we let social media get the best of us and start to compare our lives and businesses to others’.
She opens up about her own journey of hitting rock bottom, taking radical responsibility for her health and happiness, and going on to start a business that truly lights her up.
We also talk about something that is so important to do as female entrepreneurs — which is taking control of that negative, fear-based voice inside your head saying you can’t do something — whether it’s starting that digital course you’ve always wanted to, hiring your first employee, or going Live for the first time.
I think you’ll find this to be an incredibly inspiring episode, so if you’re ready, grab a hot, spiced beverage of your choice and press play!
