We are joined by Annie Smith, founder of Hashtag Fly, a non-profit that helps traumatized women see their innate worth. She shares the powerful impact one person's heartfelt challenge to find herself has made for herself and so many other women. Beginning to believe in ourselves allows us to begin healing from trauma and trials. Learn how we can see ourselves with the strength, light, and talents others see in us. Take time to recognize and re-frame the distortion in the way we see ourselves to live freely. Treasures are found in going through struggles and others benefit from your wisdom and the lessons you've learned. How can you bless others with your divine and unique skill sets?
