47|Best Friend Reframe with Carmen Walsh

59|Grab Your Coffee Girlfriend, We Are Taking Time to Celebrate!

Hey Girlfriend, What happens when a group of women gather around a virtual coffee table to celebrate courage, wisdom, and the power of sharing our stories?   That was the heart of today's Being Brave Tour Magazine launch celebration. As we chatted, a few beautiful thoughts kept surfacing: "Courage is just fear walking forward." "Women supporting women is a powerhouse." "It's an experience, not an explanation." "We want women to feel like they're getting a hug." More than a magazine, this is an invitation to pause. To grab your coffee. To sit on the couch. To take a little "me time." To reflect on your journey and remember that you are not walking it alone. Thank you Deanna Nowadnick - Author/Speaker [https://www.facebook.com/FruitofMySpirit?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbd-pggVOW5P01IckArWTI0wguGTNr6AwUWDuWJlxb8m77OLYgOGv3Ni07lIOe_spUGxIWB_0FWRq7Cg7y5bCPCjbd-t3exmAxasGJWYxncBOEjHp6Dml7aHUuC1wXhKR49FACncw7LUb2jkBTAnRO5E3LDxeEugqOlZPr7qkFxezT8BkdtQVXD2HGQ-7QBokHBtcYQA4Tz0O61CnvvHWTo&__tn__=-%5DK-R], Jackie Cote [https://www.facebook.com/jackie.j.cote?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbd-pggVOW5P01IckArWTI0wguGTNr6AwUWDuWJlxb8m77OLYgOGv3Ni07lIOe_spUGxIWB_0FWRq7Cg7y5bCPCjbd-t3exmAxasGJWYxncBOEjHp6Dml7aHUuC1wXhKR49FACncw7LUb2jkBTAnRO5E3LDxeEugqOlZPr7qkFxezT8BkdtQVXD2HGQ-7QBokHBtcYQA4Tz0O61CnvvHWTo&__tn__=-%5DK-R], Joanie Elizabeth [https://www.facebook.com/JoanieElizabeth11?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbd-pggVOW5P01IckArWTI0wguGTNr6AwUWDuWJlxb8m77OLYgOGv3Ni07lIOe_spUGxIWB_0FWRq7Cg7y5bCPCjbd-t3exmAxasGJWYxncBOEjHp6Dml7aHUuC1wXhKR49FACncw7LUb2jkBTAnRO5E3LDxeEugqOlZPr7qkFxezT8BkdtQVXD2HGQ-7QBokHBtcYQA4Tz0O61CnvvHWTo&__tn__=-%5DK-R], Donita Wheeler [https://www.facebook.com/DonitaMamaBear?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbd-pggVOW5P01IckArWTI0wguGTNr6AwUWDuWJlxb8m77OLYgOGv3Ni07lIOe_spUGxIWB_0FWRq7Cg7y5bCPCjbd-t3exmAxasGJWYxncBOEjHp6Dml7aHUuC1wXhKR49FACncw7LUb2jkBTAnRO5E3LDxeEugqOlZPr7qkFxezT8BkdtQVXD2HGQ-7QBokHBtcYQA4Tz0O61CnvvHWTo&__tn__=-%5DK-R] and Jodi Schilling Coaching [https://www.facebook.com/goodmomcooach?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbd-pggVOW5P01IckArWTI0wguGTNr6AwUWDuWJlxb8m77OLYgOGv3Ni07lIOe_spUGxIWB_0FWRq7Cg7y5bCPCjbd-t3exmAxasGJWYxncBOEjHp6Dml7aHUuC1wXhKR49FACncw7LUb2jkBTAnRO5E3LDxeEugqOlZPr7qkFxezT8BkdtQVXD2HGQ-7QBokHBtcYQA4Tz0O61CnvvHWTo&__tn__=-%5DK-R] for joining me and celebrating the launch on Amazon!
