Do you have a story about yourself that has been running through your head for as long as you can remember? In this episode, Sarah is joined by Brenna Joelle and they take on the story of thinking you don't like people, when you actually do. This narrative and most of the narratives we have as humans, get in the way of our own growth and ability to connect with people. With some real talk and humor we take on challenging these stories. Brenna mentors high-level leaders and connects them to the resources and opportunities essential to achieving their goals. Brenna draws on more than two decades of experience as a former semi-professional athlete and leader in health and wellness, certified Neuro-Linguistic-Programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy practitioner, and seven years studying with Shamans in South America and globally.
