20. Leaning Into & Embracing Your Feminine Frequency with Colleen Ann Maier

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre Podcast, I am bringing on an amazing woman to talk about feminine frequency, Colleen Ann Maier. Colleen is a mother, author, speaker, and feminine frequency mentor. After connecting with her through social media in a special way I knew I wanted to bring her on the podcast to talk about this because motherhood and business building is usually very masculine and I personally have found magic in leaning more into the feminine. 
 
In this beautiful conversation we are going to chat about all the stories we're told about what success looks like, and why having a mentor can be a game-changer. We're also going to get real about the pressures women face and why it's so crucial to heal the patterns passed down through generations.
