Speaker: Erica Ziel | Prioritizing you doesn’t mean spending hours getting a massage or your nails done, it doesn’t even mean spending an hour each day doing a kick-butt workout. Because side note, your kick-butt workouts might actually be raising your stress level, contributing to your fatigue, and be preventing weight loss. Making YOU a priority really is about simplifying life and learning how to live in alignment with what’s truly important to you!
