I am so excited for this highly anticipated podcast with my beloved soul sister, Laurel Holland. Let me introduce you to this phenomenal woman who is a pioneer for all female entrepreneurs, like myself. Laurel is an Author, Speaker, and Holistic Life Coach for women who are done settling for anything less than feeling really good inside. She’s been on a 30-year journey into self-development, spirituality, mental health counseling, and energy medicine. This sacred work informs her as she intuitively guides women into a strong connection with their inner guidance and soul’s calling. Laurel’s book, Courageous Women, and her signature program, Live Your Inner Power, help women create a foundation of courage, authenticity, and peace so they can create the life they deeply desire. Laurel has been coaching for over 20 years and has so much to share with our listeners who have only just begun coaching. I’m so excited for you to hear Laurel’s sage wisdom and guidance as she leads us to live our lives truthfully and fully through self-awareness and soul work.

SOUL FUELED QUOTES: “When you start living consciously, you end up having a million good things to choose from. You want to be in the thing that’s right for you right where you are now.”  “The chase is just an opportunity for you to have more life experiences.” “If you cannot sit with yourself and look at the truth of where you are now, you won’t be able to get where you want to go.”  DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: www.liveyourinnerpower.com Live Your Inner Power Program Courageous Women
