If you have the intuitive desire to be a Certified Dharma Coach, but you’ve found yourself thinking “Well, who am I to be a coach? Why would people pay for my guidance?”Then imposter syndrome is what’s keeping your full-bodied Yes! from coming through.   And truth is, you’re not alone. In this episode, I have a beautiful conversation with Lauren Leduc, a Dharma Coaching Institute (DCI) graduate and mom who’s created a thriving coaching business and has even landed a book deal!   She shares how her journey didn’t start this way and how she suffered from imposter syndrome, anxiety, eating disorders, shame, and family expectations. Even so, she still built a successful yoga practice with multiple studios, but then 2020 struck and she lost the joy in her business in the chaos of the world.   She then shares how she now has secured a book deal for her first work as a published author and has built an abundant coaching business, while getting to be home to raise her daughter. This is a story about a mother who overcame her challenges to build her dream life, and how you can too.    Pre-order Lauren’s book here  Connect with Lauren on Instagram here   Ready to integrate your full multidimensional self into a thriving career as a Soul Purpose + Spiritual Life Coach?
