As women in today’s world, we’re told we can do it all — so long as it aligns with traditional societal norms, such as getting married or having children. It’s when we choose to pave our own authentic path that we tend to face resistance.

Today, Lacey shares with us her best advice on setting strong boundaries and living a fulfilling life. She tells us about her experience with choosing to live child-free, rediscovering herself, and embracing selfishness so that you can learn to confidently say “yes” to the things that mean the most to you.
