Woman- a very endearing word that means so much. Yes, women mean so much more than a face and a body. But society distorted this view for a long time, so long that even the women forgot who they truly are and what they can be. In this episode, Daniel and Lea Woodford, CEO of SmartFem Media Group discuss what it means to be a woman, and how they can stand up and move forward to the life they deserve. Lea talks about turning seemingly gigantic obstacles into opportunities by will, what distinguishes a failure from success, finding your inner beauty, how to inspire and empower others, and an unforgettable lesson on empathy. And if things get rougher than you expected, remember that nothing is self-made. You are not alone and you can take advantage of that fact to thrive. If you’re experiencing downturns in your business, adversities in your life, or both at the same time, listen in as Lea shares valuable insights and wisdom on how to successfully navigate through these stormy seasons of your life.
