In this episode of the podcast, Ivonne shares her inspiring story of resilience and faith. From her work as a coach, consultant, founder of a nonprofit organization, and producer of a TV network all serving Latin America, to her spiritual cultivation practice, Ivonne is passionate about discovering who she can become each day and helping others heal their trauma to create better realities. The two also dive into the miraculous story of when Ivonne suffered severe injuries in a car crash that left her with a damaged arm - doctors said she'd never be able to walk again - but with the help of pioneering doctors, she was able to make a full recovery. Plus, they talk about how Ivonne's current mentor Tim Grover has been instrumental in helping her tap into her power of self-faith, and how he taught her that pressure is a privilege, that your mind must be stronger than your feelings, and that you must accept and learn from failure.
