As we near the end of this year most of us have mixed feelings. For many it is an emotional wake-up call. Many people have said to me, “OMG where has the year gone?”  Or, “I can’t wait for this year to be over with…”  Can you relate to these feelings and thoughts?  Are you thinking about what you hope for in the coming year?

+ How you can increase the likelihood of keeping a resolution or making a new habit and changes.
+ What I would like you to do now and my key ‘heart-felt” questions you must reflect on before you make your choices about your life.

Welcome to my new episode: E 64 - From Lessons to Blessons with Mitzi Campbell

Mitzi is the creator and host of The Blessons Podcast.  In our conversation today, Mitzi Campbell reveals her life experiences with me. After nearly three decades as a college professor and going head-to-head with a debilitating health crisis, Mitzi felt called to move outside of the confines of the four walls of a classroom.

She created and is the host of The Blessons Podcast.  Mitzi works with people to help them go after their desires, self-actualize and extract powerful lessons & blessings from life experiences so they can identify blind spots, release false foundational beliefs and learn the life lessons that, left unlearned, are holding them back from living their true potential.

Mitzi's story and Blessons are inspiring. The lessons and blessings of life are told by her and people just like you in their own voices. Blessons are the results of our unique and collective life experiences. They are the blessings and the lessons we use to learn about ourselves and others to access our desires.
You will also learn about common threads in Blessons people learn in life and more in today's episode.
