WOO! It's so great to be back with you after a few months of summer slow down time. I know it might have seemed like I disappeared, but I promise there was a purpose behind it all. In today's episode, we want to share with you why we took things slow this summer and how it's all been a part of our "Reflective Girl Summer." Did we just make that up!? Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is a "Reflective Girl Summer"? Well, it's a term the CB duo is coining to describe this intentional period of time where we've focused on self-reflection, healing, and personal growth. Just like the changing seasons, we all go through different phases in life, and this summer, we decided it was time for a bit of a reset. This reflective period hasn't just been about taking it easy, though. It's also been a time of healing. We all carry wounds, big or small, and sometimes we need to give ourselves the space to address them. With this reflection - we are SO EXCITED for what we have ahead in the season to come for CB ... you don't want to miss this ;) So with that we thank you for your patience during this "Reflective Girl Summer." We both SOO appreciate your support and understanding as we took the time to recharge, reflect, heal, and grow. Get ready, because the upcoming season is going to be a journey we embark on together, filled with discovery, learning, and meaningful connections. Stay tuned, and let's continue brewing these conversations! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
