291 - How to Embody Vixen Energy with April Roberts

If you want to step into some serious feminine power, this episode is for you! My guest today is April Roberts, founder of the Vixen Gathering. April did all the “right things” for career success like attending law school, becoming a highly regarded financial planner, and getting entrenched in very masculine dominated industries. A hard-working, fearless leader, April and her team believed in a relational approach that puts the goals and desires of the client above all else. She always felt a great responsibility to help people, to empower them to change their lives. April thought she was doing that by giving them financial peace of mind. She didn’t realize that in giving so much and refusing to receive, she was slowly losing her feminine power. Several years ago, she found herself at a crossroads of continuing down the expected path for success, and choosing real fulfillment and happiness. She chose to make a complete life pivot to follow her passion and help women return to their true selves so they can live their best lives.   Show Notes: [2:16] - What makes people step forward?
