Authenticity Is the Only Path with Carla Cannon - Part 1
Raised in a very religious household, Carla Cannon became a master suppressor. The constant seek for external validation made her a woman that would live her life taking care of not upsetting anyone, especially church folks. She even became a minister, and despite being surrounded by the love of a supportive church, Carla turned into a depressed, suicidal Christian. It took her many years to realize hiding her sexuality was rotting her from inside and learning that authenticity was her only way out.
Today, we present the first half of this two-part episode with the unique Carla Cannon, "The Trailblazer," CEO of Carla R. Cannon Enterprises and Women of Standard. As a High-Performance Coach & Trainer, Carla transforms students' lives while teaching them how to unlock their perspective, unleash their potential, and discover their life purpose. She is also a Powerhouse Speaker, a National Best-Selling Author, Podcast Host, Breakthrough Coach, and Business & Marketplace Mentor.
In this first part of our interview, Carla shares the journey of becoming who she is today. We talk about how Carla's life changed since she authentically and unapologetically showed the world who she is. We discuss how we tend to build our identity based on what people say or think about us and how dangerous and harmful this is. Carla also talks about why she feels religion almost killed her and God's love saved her.
