I have a chat with Charmaine Fuller (who is a coach for neurodivergent  moms) about her experience having a toxic client-coach relationship with a coach she previously hired. We discuss the red flags and green flags to look out for before hiring a coach and share our experiences with setting boundaries with our own clients.

After years of emotional abuse, her clients undo their survival patterns to unveil their true selves, plus more wealth, healthy relationships, peace and love along the way.

In this episode I have a chat with Yvonne Dam who shares with us her story of being a workaholic to becoming the CEO of her own life.  Yvonne's childhood wasn't easy; she grew up knowing how to please, how to be silent and how to say the right things people wanted to hear. When she started working for a large audit firm, at first she did very well. She enjoyed working there, and did rise the corporate ladder- yet, lost herself along the way. Yvonne's mission is to show others they don't have to work 24/7 to become successful.

I was recently on Richard Ostler's podcast "Listen Learn and Love" and am sharing the episode on my podcast as well. I share with Richard what it was like growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with a narcissistic mother and why I am still a Christian despite the contradictory messages I received in the home I grew up in.

Richard is the author of Listen, Learn and Love:  Improving Latter-day Culture and also the author of Listen, Learn & Love: Embracing LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. He is a committed Latter-day Saint and follower of Christ whom I look up to!
