In this episode, I bring to you the very best and most profound spiritual entrepreneur - Pauline Nguyen. Pauline Nguyen is a conscious entrepreneur, international keynote speaker and life coach who integrates science and spirituality into her life, her teachings, and her coaching. In this episode we uncover,

✅ Decision making that helps create a life of prosperity

✅ Introducing the concept of Health set, Soul set, Heart set and Mindset

✅ 3 questions that will change your life for good!

----------------------

About the Speaker

Pauline Nguyen’s story is that of survival first. Escaping war-torn Vietnam as a toddler, Pauline eventually made it to Australian shores after a year in a Thai refugee camp. Having jumped from the frying pan, Pauline was thrust into the fire – going on to suffer tremendous physical and emotional abuse until she was a young woman. It’s this staggering adversity Pauline now refers to as her training – rising from the ashes of her trauma to become one of Australia’s most sought-after development coaches, a leading entrepreneur, an award-winning author, and an international keynote speaker.

Pauline’s unique life experiences have given her a distinctive insight into the minds of individuals and businesses alike, allowing her to pass on the invaluable skills of self-mastery, resilience and perseverance. Described by Huffington Post as, “The most grounded spiritual entrepreneur on the planet”, recognized as an original ‘Rare Bird’ – Australia’s top 50 Influential Female Entrepreneurs, and included in Blackwell and Hobday’s global recognition of ‘200 Women Who Will Change the Way You See the World’, Pauline is nothing short of extraordinary. Pauline co-founded the world’s most awarded Vietnamese restaurant, Red Lantern and in 2012 won The Telstra Business Award for medium business. Pauline is the author of The Way of Spiritual Entrepreneur and Secrets of the Red Lantern, both award-winning and critically acclaimed worldwide, appearing on numerous bestseller lists. Pauline speaks and teaches from direct experience with a unique, dramatic cadence that has the audience hanging on every word.
