How To Live a Sovereign Life

As Maya Angelou said, The wisest thing you can do is to be on your own side.

 

While studies show that 95% of us are self critical (which leads to anxiety and stress), we can learn to recondition ourselves to be on our own side by being self-loving and own our power. 

 

In today’s interview with Dr. Emma Seppälä, best-selling author of Sovereign, we dove into HOW you can learn to recondition your mind and body to live a fully sovereign life. 

 

Dr. Emma Seppälä is the best-selling author of Sovereign: ​​Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy, and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty, and Chaos, and The Happiness Track, keynote speaker, and professor at the Yale School of Management.
