This week's solo is about consciously creating and allowing for structures/frameworks that work for us and remembering that structures can actually liberate. This is coming from a person who loves/values freedom and fluidity above most things and is a topic that I think is so relevant to so many of us who work for ourselves or are building/co-creating our own lives. It's something I have been SO r...
