Jesse Brisendine was on track to have a good life when tragedy and loss shook his world. Feelings of grief and guilt overpowered him, stifling his passion and purpose and snuffing out his natural positivity and optimism. In this podcast he shares how he found his way back towards the light, and how he now uses his story and experience to touch and transforms the lives of others, through his coaching, writing and speaking, and the global movement he has started.   There is gold sprinkled throughout this podcast for helping you manage life, loss, achieve your goals and become a great speaker.   I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.   What we talk about: The fear of not being enough and not being lovable.
