Today’s episode is jaw-dropping. While Dana has created a unique career as a mobility/breathwork/ and mind-body coach to some of the world’s best athletes in MLB, NFL, NHL, and the WWE, what makes this episode unique is Dana Santas bares her soul and shares her incredible story with us.

 

Dana grew up poor, living in an attic in upstate NY with dust-mites in her bed, mothered a child while in high school, and ultimately went on to get a college degree from the prestigious Tufts University. Since then, Dana has positively impacted thousands of pro and elite athletes and is now an author, speaker, and one amazing woman creating massive IMPACT.

 

Buckle-up for this one as we have a very deep conversation on building a career, life, and how you overcome tough times. Additionally, you will learn a few things about “urs truly” that you may not have heard before. Enjoy the show, and I hope it helps you “Live a life worth telling a story about” also. Without further ado…let’s go to the episode.
