Stephanie chats with Sara Dean from the Shameless Mom Academy about how moms can step into their power and gifts in bigger ways, how they can cultivate a deeper sense of self-trust, and how all this creates space for us to train people how to treat us. They share how to have more powerful conversations with others, lower the unreasonably high expectations we have about what we can accomplish (especially now during the pandemic) and all be a little more shameless.
