Nedra Tawwab is all about helping people create healthy relationships, not just with others but with themselves. She’s a strong believer in the power of boundaries and teaches that a lack of assertiveness is at the root of most relationship issues. You don’t have to lose yourself to be in a thriving relationship – in fact, you’re not doing anyone a favor when you neglect your needs for the needs of others. She helps us find what it means to experience the true and profound freedom of being yourself.
