How does self-care positively impact you and those around you? What is passion and how does it translate to different facets of your life? Suzie & Whitney explore redefining what it means to be successful during a pandemic and putting relationships & mental wellness first. Whitney shares her hair journey and evolution from comparing herself against standard beauty expectations versus embracing self acceptance. Note from Suzie: We recorded this episode August of 2021 and it is now 2022. That's right! Please keep this in mind while listening. Thank you. "Our own individual experiences do not reflect a common experience for everybody." "Being a teacher is more than they see on TV [and] what they conceive in their mind." "We have to stop justing ourselves." "Self esteem comes from self acceptance." About Whitney: Whitney is life learner and a truth finder. She is also a public school educator.
