Many of us find ourselves professing we are fine when we are actually drowning on the inside. We find it difficult to love ourselves and we emotionally test others to gauge the limits of their love. By replacing negative influences with positive practices, we allow ourselves to own our feelings and accept all the good we do. We can then share our lessons with others. Shannon shares her story of her internal changes which resulted in a tool all women can use. Shannon created Polka Dot Powerhouse as a connection engine for women to encourage each other and to push each other forward in business and personal matters. It has morphed into a sisterhood.
