BESTSELLING AUTHOR, FORBES COLUMNIST & HOST OF RAWCOURAGE.TV +
“I am standing with ChooseReal because I see so many people who care more about what everybody thinks of them than what they think of themselves. I believe that every woman is innately worthy and that only when we step fully into our power can we realise just how “enough” we already are. The question I love to ask people is What would you do today if you were being brave and didn’t need to prove yourself to anyone? The answer will always require us to #ChooseReal! ”
