In this episode I talk to Jennifer Hendler about the difference between being fiercely independence and interdependence in relationships and with ourselves.
Introduction
Jennifer is the founder of Claiming My Voice, a Holistic Psychotherapy practice that specializes in helping women break free from stifling their voice to reach their full potential. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Holistic Life Coach, Relationship Coach and Flower Essence Therapist.
From Jennifer’s website she says:
I work with motivated, visionary souls of service who feel like they have to self-sacrifice to achieve their dreams. I help them Claim Their Voices so they never have to lose themselves again to belong and succeed. And I teach them how to build evolutionary relationships that lead to soul-satisfying connection and a more peaceful planet.
For 25 years I’ve been making it safe for women to trust themselves, communicate authentically, and share power.
I know how painful it is to be unseen, unheard, and unmet; to shrink from relentless self-doubt; to get depleted from poor boundaries, and obsess over difficult relationship dynamics. It’s taken me a lifetime of courage to grab the reins and Claim My Voice in a world that often doesn’t understand, validate, or include my holistic perspective
