Welcome to this Season 3 bonus mini-episode of the Woman Uncaged Podcast!

We've all heard this advice often given to women who are moving into new phases of life: "Before you make any major decisions or start dating or take on new obligations, develop a deeper relationship with yourself first. Spend some time focusing on you and pouring into your own life."

But, how does one do that? That's what we're talking about today.

We explore:

- How to get to know ourselves again in this new season of life, including some of our favorite practices to do so

-Why it's important to sit with the emptiness, as least for awhile

-Questions to ask oneself when considering what to do next

-How to experiment with new things

-The risks of not taking this on

-The benefits of getting support
