In today’s episode, I’m joined by Shirin Eskandani.

Shirin is a life coach, public speaker and writer who specializes in mindfulness and mindset work. She has been a featured wellness expert on the Today Show and Cosmopolitan Magazine, and prior to building her successful coaching business, she was an award-winning opera singer, performing at Carnegie Hall and The Metropolitan Opera.  

Certified by the International Coach Federation, Shirin’s holistic approach to transformation is influenced by her background in meditation, spirituality and the arts. She is also an inspiring and dynamic speaker who has presented at ALT Summit, Ignite Womxn Summit, Well Summit, Heal Haus and the Assemblage. Shirin is co-founder of The Glow Up and Brown Girl Brunch.

Shirin is brilliant, thoughtful, and wise. In today’s conversation we talk about how her realizing her dream of becoming an opera singer showed her that hustling for your worth never works — and also led to her work as a successful coach.

We also talk about:

• How things shifted when she started focusing on her internal work over her external achievements
• How she works with science-based work and spiritual tools in tandem to heal herself and her clients 
• How to identify and listen to your intuition (as opposed to the ego/fear voice)
• What it means to heal as an individual in service of the collective; as opposed to the (usually) solitary work of self-help — and why it means we have to look at things that aren’t just “love and light”
• . . . and so much more!

I think the conversation we shared is so important to hear always, but especially right now when a lot of us are feeling a little lost, a little overwhelmed, in need of some healing, and perhaps more dedicated than ever to finding and following our purpose.
