The Gift of Grace
Show Notes:
Episode Overview: In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of grace—both the grace that comes from God and the grace we must extend to ourselves. Life can be overwhelming, and while the world around us may not always offer compassion, we have the power to be kind to ourselves. Tune in as I share personal stories, insights, and practical tips on how to embrace grace throughout your journey of growth, whether in business, personal life, or self-discovery.

Curator of E.L.I.T.E.:
I’ve embraced the title “Curator of E.L.I.T.E.” because I see my role as one who nurtures and guides this project toward its full potential. Think of your own journey—what are you curating in your life? Whether it’s a business, a personal goal, or a passion project, embrace the role of curator, and give yourself grace along the way.Reflection for the Week:
Take time this week to reflect on what you’re curating in your own life. Ask yourself:Am I extending grace to myself during this process?
