Description
The Way of the Muse™ podcast is for women who are ready for “something more.” Hosted by mother / daughter coaching duo Gigi & Makena Sage, this show is about becoming the woman you’re meant to be, so you can confidently create your biggest dreams.
Even among the most successful women, self-doubt has become an epidemic. We think, “Who am I to do this?” or “What if I don’t have what it takes?” So we convince ourselves we’ll start that business… pivot into work we love… travel the world… write that book… find a great relationship… or do something that makes a difference in the world “someday.”
Or – we simply get busy juggling our day-to-day responsibilities. We get stuck in “go mode” and forget that life and business are supposed to be fun!
This podcast will inspire you to stop putting your bigger dreams on hold, and get started TODAY. Plus, we’ll show you how to do it with more EASE, FUN + FLOW.
Gigi, Makena, and their guests share powerful tools and proven strategies for designing a life that’s rich in ALL areas: career, relationship, family, purpose, lifestyle, leadership, personal growth and fulfillment. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, career woman, mother, philanthropist, or all of the above, you’ll love the inspiration and actionable steps you take away from every episode.
When you embody the Muse in your life, you’re in flow. You know who you are and what you want, and you boldly go after it. You feel creative, lit up, and inspired. People around you are magnetized to your energy. Instead of pushing to reach your goals, you dance with life – moving with a combination of purpose, allowing, and ease. This is our wish for you, and it’s what this podcast is all about!
