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.
