Today on Awake and On Purpose, Jennifer speaks with Alissa Carpenter about how it’s okay to not be okay and how to use that emotion to propel you into a better space and closer to your purpose. They also discuss the importance of inclusivity and diversity measured by more than numbers. What we are conditioned to believe or how to behave doesn’t have to define us, and Jennifer and Alissa are here to bring that to the forefront in today’s empowering episode!
