Trudy also shares how to have less drama in your life and why it is crucial to nurture your spiritual self.<br><br><br><br>“You have to understand why you’re using a word at that moment and how you can rebound and reclaim the conversation in a way that’s fruitful and purposeful and supportive.” - Trudy Tchume-Johnson<br><br><br><br>This Week on the Balance Boldly for Ambitious Women In Business Podcast:<br><br>●One of the primary reasons why it’s important to have self-care practices<br>●What she does to balance expectations and reality in her family<br>●Why allowing people to ‘just be’ and not fix them is the most challenging thing for her to do<br>●The group of people to surround yourself with when dealing with challenging circumstances<br>●The hardest relationships to honor <br>●How she became the mom that she is now<br>●How she learned to actively understand the teachings and spiritual parables she learned<br><br><br>A Little Permission to Pause:<br><br>●Reflect daily on quotes and when wisdom shows up.<br><br><br>Connect with Trudy Tchume-Johnson:<br><br>●LinkedIn- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trudy-tchume-johnson-9a6b4a90" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/trudy-tchume-johnson-9a6b4a90</a><br><br><br>Subscribe, Share & Balance Boldly<br><br>On the Balance Boldly Podcast, host Naketa R.
