This conversation is magical and wonderful. Today’s guest Hamidah is a seasoned professional in the finance industry, and the wisdom that she shares in this conversation gave me chills! We talk about finding confidence and learning to lead at work, but the conversation goes so much deeper than that. Hamidah shares priceless wisdom of how we can learn to trust ourselves and our intuition in a way that helps us succeed and feel confident and strong along the way.
Hamidah hosts a wonderful podcast called Sharing Life Lessons, which I have been a guest on! Check out her show over here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sharing-life-lessons/id1495248815
