Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and Donna bring the joy! How often do women forget to bring the joy into their daily lives? When was the last time you spent time doing the things you love just for the pure joy of it? Gina and Donna share some laughter and some ideas of how to reconnect with the joy that sometimes gets lost somewhere in the middle of life. Join in the joyful conversation, spend some time with your feet in the grass or your bum in the sand, maybe break out a sketchpad or a journal and exercise your creative side. Whatever it is that brings you joy, do that thing and take a listen to Feminine Roadmap, you never know, it might bring you some joy!
