You owe it to yourself to be successful. Some people might say, "Well, that's selfish." But here's the thing: your only responsibility to those around you is to set a good example. Because at the end of the day, you owe it to yourself to live your best life. Remember, if you are always trying to be normal, you will never realize how amazing you can be.

In today's episode, Host Carolyn Colleen sits down with Jazzma Holand to discuss how you can find your fierce when faced with fear, uncertainty, or when imposter syndrome kicks in.
