This week on the YKAL podcast I am joined by Jeannine Yoder, a New York Times Featured Business & Feminine Leadership Coach For Coaches, Broadway Starlet and the Founder of Mentor Masterclass. Jeannine has such an incredible story of resilience and redemption. And you know how I love a good redemption story!  In this episode Jeannine shares how she overcame a really difficult childhood, one surrounded by drug addicted parents, chaos and trauma. She talks openly about her path to healing, which spanned many years. Plus, she goes on to share how she ‘rose from the ashes’ and became a broadway star. Finally, she offers some of her own advice for healing the parental wound and making peace with it all. In this episode you’ll hear: Jeannine share in detail her childhood story and what she learned the most from her experiences (5 minutes and 58 seconds) Not being a victim of circumstances, plus listening to your inner voice to empower and guide you through life decisions (11:07) How to love your life with your whole being and still be healing and lessons learned from attending AA meetings with her father (16:00) Becoming a broadway star; the lifestyle of an artist (19:17) Jeannine’s tools and strategies for healing the mother wound (26:56) The greatest way to healing your story is by telling your story (38:10) Also, did you know I’m back to doing weekly Facebook and Instagram Live videos?
