Takeaway: Harness Your Magic

When we talked in today’s podcast about magic, and how it comes through belief in ourselves. It comes from our own audacity, our claiming of our space, our willingness to speak up for ourselves and for others. It’s putting yourself out there. Do you feel your magic? Have you felt it in the past? What’s a moment you can remember when you felt that tingling feeling when you knew something was right, that it was meant to be? This could have to do with your work, or with your writing, or other creative pursuits or life choices, too. Magic is all around us. Notice it. Claim it. Celebrate it.
