    23/07/2019 Duração: 01h44min

    Life can be hard. In a world of people telling you “no" - self doubt, economic, systemic, societal challenges, outside criticism - how do we even begin to nurture our dreams of being more than what the world is tells us we are? How do we continue to foster and master a lifestyle that supports the voice inside that tells us “we have something special to offer"? Musician singer/songwriter/ARTIST Jasmine Jordan (@therealjasminej) and founder of “The Smile Movement” (@dontgiveuponyou) join Karen and Nicole for an honest, supportive discussion exploring the many forms following our dreams can take.
