In honour of International Women's Day, this episode of Golden Hour with Gaya, I invited Neshma to have a conversation about the important topics of self-acceptance and confidence for women. Throughout history, women have faced societal pressures and stereotypes that have often left them feeling insecure and inadequate.
Ultimately, this episode is a celebration of women and a call to action for women everywhere to embrace their unique qualities and strengths, and to cultivate a sense of self-acceptance and confidence that can help them thrive in all areas of their lives. Whether you are a woman who is struggling with self-doubt, or a supporter who wants to empower the women in your life, hope this episode would help in a way or two! Sending all of you much love!!
