This episode is packed full of powerful wisdom as Connie and her guest, Ken Edwards, discuss the importance of doing the inner work to heal emotional wounds and shift limiting mindsets to live and lead from wholeness and authenticity. A Counselor and Executive Coach for over 35 years, Ken shares what keeps people stuck in struggling, striving, and surviving in a harder and smaller existence than the one they were created for, and he discusses the process of transformation that heals and sets people free to be their best self and live a meaningful, purpose centered life. As Connie’s Therapist and Coach, Ken recounts with Connie her journey to breakthrough freedom and next-level success to inspire you to access the more that is awaiting you on the other side of pain and struggle.
- Undoing the unraveling of all we were thought that we had to be, all of the expectations and the standards that we were brainwashed when we were young.
- A deeper understanding of what helps people do; how someone gets that breakthrough and transformation in their life and their work.
- Helping people think through more holistically with their spiritual life.
- What keeps people on the same old striving, struggling, surviving, existence, burned out when it’s not working for them; what can be offered and what is available for you.
- What causes us to stay further away from our purpose and our unique design, and who we were made to be
