What to listen for:

• Physical health gives you the energy and stamina to keep showing up daily
• Emotional health keeps you resilient through setbacks and tough decisions
• Spiritual health helps you stay grounded and connected to your “why”

“Everybody’s different and we all have our superpowers. It’s about identifying that innate gift you have and really honing in on it and leveraging that.”
