In this episode, I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with the one and only Donny Starkins (@donny_starkins). He is a personal development coach who helps others make massive transformation in their lives, get unstuck and discover their purpose. He’s also a mindfulness expert, yoga instructor, a leader in the community, and his ability to make complex concepts feel achievable is really remarkable. His signature program is called "The Shift" and he’s got another incredible program releasing soon that was born out of his experience recovering from addiction. His story of how he got into this field of work is inspiring to say the least, and I know this conversation is going to make you feel empowered and challenged in the best way possible. Enjoy! 

In this interview we cover:

• How he pulled himself out of rock bottom, and the specific tools that helped him
• Simple ways to practice mindfulness 
• How to work through limiting beliefs
• What lessons Donny would add to a public school curriculum 
• Approachable first steps to work on self-love and mindful self-compassion (and why it’s so important!)
• The 4 key components of Donny’s program “The Shift”: Create, Uncover, Discover, Identify
• And more!
