Today on Opportunity Knocks, we have a special solo episode with me, Michelle Valenzuela Wolf, on one of my favorite topics: fear.

I love fear because it’s truly a catalyst. If you ask yourself “what’s the worst that can happen?” and dig into what could happen—most of the time, it’s not that bad.

Women are especially prone to letting their fears dictate whether or not they move forward— and the truth is that we are so much more capable than we allow ourselves to believe.

On the other side of embracing fear is FREEDOM! When you move forward knowing when fear is present, you are choosing power. You are choosing courage. You are choosing vulnerability. And regardless of the outcome, you stood strong in the face of fear. 

We can do hard things. The greatest tools are already within you. Enjoy this mini-solo podcast, I can’t wait to hear what you think!

I’m so excited to share this extremely soul-centered conversation! Today on Opportunity Knocks, Ep. 104 “From Fear to Faith,” I’m excited to welcome Leah Zaccaria, yoga entrepreneur and Founder and Owner of Shefa Yoga. 

My dear friend and yoga instructor Shayna Hiller introduced me to Shefa Yoga years back and it’s my favorite studio in Los Angeles. It’s one of the true spiritual studios that I go to to become aligned. 🙏✨

With a masters in taxation, Leah began her career in the corporate world and quickly climbed the ladder, establishing herself as a powerhouse. But her soul knew this wasn’t her purpose, leading her down a path of personal discovery and growth.

By tapping into her intuition and leaving fear and the “should” behind by stepping into courage, Leah created a life and business she loves. 

Listen to hear how Leah: 

🧘🏼‍♀️ Broke through cultural and societal norms to find your personal definition of success 
🧘🏽‍♂️ Found her true calling in yoga and life
🧘🏻‍♀️ Embodies courage and moves away from fear 
🧘🏾‍♀️ Lives her truth, the ultimate freedom 

From the second our conversation began, Leah was sharing relatable and inspiring insight that I know you’re going to love. 

Enjoy Episode 104 of Opportunity Knocks ft. Leah Zaccaria!
