Bougie Girl University Presents: Life Is What You Make It- 5 Steps That You Can Take Right Now to Change Your Life...(Step Three-Make Better Choices )

Week 3-Make Better Choices
  • Making different choices requires that you hold yourself up to a higher standard of personal accountability…which can be exceedingly uncomfortable.
