Maybe you feel trapped financially, fear the consequences of leaving, don’t see any other options, or don’t even know what you want to do next… If so, know that you’re not alone. I have worked with many clients in this exact situation, and in this episode I’ll dive deeper into the reasons why you’re feeling trapped, along with practical tips to find a way towards more calm, energy, and freedom.
