Discovery Session - 2019

Living your life by design, not by default

I am really excited to share a conversation I had with Lin Liao several weeks ago. Linda's a mindset coach. She helps her clients break through mental barriers to live purposeful and meaningful lives. And Lynn was not always a mindset coach. In our episode today, she shares her personal and professional journey. 

She spent 25 years in accounting as a CPA. Most recently as a tax director. I really enjoyed this conversation and can't wait to share her meaningful stories, insights, and encouragement with you.
