How to Know and Live Your True Self | Jeanie Duncan | S5 E10
What would happen if you chose yourself? So often, women are taught to put others first. We are conditioned to focus on the needs of others rather than prioritizing ourselves — and we become good at it. Choosing others becomes so central to our way of being that we can build big, busy lives without ever stopping to wonder: what if I chose me?   In her mid-forties, Jeanie Duncan was a card-carrying member of the “put others first” club. Wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend — she was surrounded by people she loved and who loved her. From the outside, it was a perfect life. But over the course of a profound period of unraveling and self-realization, she discovered that she had lost herself somewhere along the way.   Check out this episode of The Creator Community to learn how to discover the path to your true self and live a self-full life. 👋CONNECT WITH THE AUTHOR👋 Author: Jeanie Duncan Book: Choosing Me: The Journey Home to My True Self Check it out:  Website: https://jeanieduncan.com/my-book/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanieduncan/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeanie.duncan.75  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanie_duncan/   📚CONNECT WITH THE PUBLISHER📚 https://www.newdegreepress.com/ https://www.instagram.com/newdegreepress/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/new-degree-press https://www.facebook.com/NewDegreePress https://twitter.com/NewDegreePress https://www.youtube.com/c/NewDegreePressAuthors 📕🖋Write Your Book📕🖋 https://www.creator.institute/ 🔥 QUESTIONS 🔥 [email protected]   🎙️Connect with the Show Host🎙️ https://www.johncsaunders.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcs-optimizer/ https://www.instagram.com/jcs_optimizer/ #JeanieDuncan #truthjourney #ChoosingMe #TheCreatorCommunityPodcast #WritingCommunity #NewDegreePress #Books #ModernAuthors    The Creator Community podcast is brought to you by these New Degree Press Partners   https://pubvendo.com/  A DISRUPTIVE DIGITAL AGENCY, FOR BOOK PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS.   https://zopto.com/home LinkedIn Lead Generation, Like You Always Imagined
