Additionally, they give useful tips on how to approach understanding these archetypes and what may be at play in your life and your process.

On today's episode, Autumn and Alexandra explore how to have the audacity, which is to say how to have the willingness to take bold risks in life, love, or the online high-school known as social media. They explore their own personal definition – a slight deviation from the dictionary definition – to make it more accessible to sustainability, regulation and safety as a precursor to opening up channels of boldness.

They explore boldness and audacity from a place of integration and high-regard for self, as opposed to the disregard of self, which can often accompany bold, daring moves.

• How to develop the capacity for audacity without being divorced from our experience
  
  

• Alexandra and Autumn share examples of how and where they’ve had to move audaciously in business, breakups, and more.
  
  

• How to integrate your needs, shadows, desires and wounds into your practice of boldness to uphold wholeness and self-worth
  
  

• And so much more…
