By understanding the values, you’ll be able to really connect with the messages these podcasts are sending. So, what does self-help truly mean for women?
Self-help for women is all about prioritizing your growth and well-being. It’s deeper than self-care habits (though we’re big fans of that, too); it’s about developing a mindset that empowers you to tackle life with confidence. You have to recognize your strengths, work through the challenges, and constantly strive to be the best version of yourself physically, emotionally, professionally, and mentally. This episode of House Guest talks all about it.
Breaking free from limitations is EMPOWERING! Society makes it way too easy for women to put themselves into this box of only being one thing. You’re allowed to be a wife, mother, friend, and businesswoman and still show up for yourself all at the same time. And one thing that The Bad Broadcast taught us is that women always do get things done, get through it, get to the other side…the list never ends.
