On today’s episode of Feminine Roadmap guest Rich Kohler is asking women- “Got physical empowerment?” Rich, a leading physical empowerment coach and 6th degree black belt in karate created a program for women called “Hands Off Lady Women’s Empowerment Workshop”. He shares how his own personal journey as a teen finding karate in order to gain confidence later became the foundation for him to build a powerful program to help women and children to find their own confidence. Rich believes that using your body through his physical empowerment workshops actually helps women build the tools they need emotionally to be able to set boundaries and stand up for themselves. Once women realize they can assert themselves on their own behalf then he challenges them to create a kick-butt life in every area of their lives no matter their age, experience or situation because success does not discriminate. Rich shares some powerful insights into how women nonverbally communicate whether or not they have healthy boundaries, how to begin to recognize when their boundaries are being violated and how to respectfully and firmly assert themselves. This is a must listen episode for every woman so grab a cuppa something wonderful and a friend, get empowerment together! http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode189/
