What’s your power song?

Wait, I’m serious over here!

This question is an incredible tool

I’m using with my clients who need

to boost their confidence and self-esteem.

I ask them to choose a song they resonate with.

A song that makes them shiver with excitement

and get them energized and believing that

they are capable of everything they

choose to do or start or pursue.

A song with uplifting lyrics

and an empowering beat

to broaden their smile

and lift their spirit.
