397: The Power of Forgiveness with Brenda Reiss Nov 28, 2019

Show notes

If you are human, then you can likely benefit from learning more about radical forgiveness. Why are we talking about forgiveness on a business podcast? Well, over the last six years, I have had the honor of working one on one or in group programs with hundreds of female entrepreneurs, and what I have learned is that our personal issues bleed into our business and vice versa.

The holiday season is upon us and I invited my client and forgiveness coach, Brenda Reiss, to share more about how we can navigate difficult situations we may encounter as we are around extended family, in-laws, office parties, etc.

When work feels like a drag and you can't silence the nagging voice in your head telling you to go in a different direction, it could be time to stop and listen. Transitioning from a corporate background to entrepreneurship isn't easy, but it is possible and in this special episode of our High Performing Women series, Private Investigator, Anna Stowe, reveals exactly how it's done.

She's open about the internal struggles she faced and how she overcame them to really make a success of her boutiques. If you want to find out how she did it, make sure you tune in!
