  • #38 Linda McLachlan and Ozlem Ozkan: Living a Courageous Life

    Linda McLachlan Toronto-based, is a professional coach, business consultant, writer, and producer/host of the Arena podcast. In 2018 she was on a Turning Point. She needed to make some decisions about the next phase of her life. She had lived ‘this way for many years. Many attempts at ‘turning things around’ had failed. She was stuck. During a meditation and mindfulness retreat, she did some deep reflection. Out of this experience came the clarity and strength she needed to make a number of decisions: to leave her business, to ultimately leave her partner, move out, and quit drinking. She started living in faith rather than certainty.
