Be the woman you needed as a little girl
We get it, we've been fairly independent women who take initiative and identify solutions to problems with little to no guidance. Simply put we can accomplish ALOT of things when we put our mind to it.

Our question is does it have to be that way? Join Kelly & Nicole as they have an intimate and vulnerable discussion about how they hold space & nurture the little girl within when they've hit those mental and emotional walls.
