Living from your values can make things in your life feel more aligned and more like you. From those values, it can be clear that you may need to make some adjustments and find or create new spaces that embody your values so you can share that with others. Today’s guest, Allison Tenney, shares how she did that in her own life and work, from her fitness coaching to her event the Ignited Womxn Summit.
