105 - Your Voice is Your Superpower with Christy Primmer

As a self-proclaimed “self-care junkie,” today’s guest is an amazing testimony to the power of mindset and using your voice. I absolutely love this conversation with Christy Primmer and I know you will, too. Christy is a passionate advocate for women to live better, uplevel their business, and change their mindset using their own voice. In today’s episode she shares her background and how her journey has led to where she is today. Oftentimes we make ourselves feel small through limiting beliefs and Christy is no stranger to that either. But with a powerful and clear why, Christy is driven to live her best life and help other women do the same. Christy Primmer is the TV show host of “Women Who Lead,” author of personal development, wealth consciousness, and poetry books, and a registered mental health counselor. She is also the founder of The Badass LadyBoss Members Club where she is teaching women across the globe to uplevel their mindset, create a life they want to wake up to, and make money using their voice.
