This week on the Mindful Miri Podcast, an amazing conversation with CJ Silas, professional sportcaster. They talk about passion and purpose in career and how to shatter the glass ceilings that were built to block women in male-dominated industries. They highlight the barriers a woman has to go through: the abuse, the trauma, and the validation we chase within ourselves, our loved ones, and the people around us.
