Read MoreEven if you don't get to the two (2) interview videos, there are some valuable nuggets in here. What would it take for you to acknowledge, internally and everywhere, what you're worth? Echoing Marianne Williamson's sentiments, we're not afraid of our flaws, but of our power? Why is that? Here are a few practical steps to think through, along with some inspirational bits as well.
