Ep 37 - This week's guest is a friend and business associate, Cynthia Gene, a lifestyle and mindset coach who's dedicated to helping people find the person they were created to be. We met each other through positive intelligence and are both positive intelligence coaches. Her and I are working with two other people and trying to bring a Christian version of this because we feel so strongly that the science behind this is rooted in God's word. After 25 years in small business sales, marketing, and operations, she pivoted her career to bring her knowledge to coaching and consulting. Today, she's focused on a mission for supporting others through their integrative wellness journey, leveraging her expertise and certifications and unlocking the collective wisdom amongst them all. And I can tell you firsthand that I have witnessed her as an amazing, and talented coach. If you hang on with us till the end of this episode, you will get access to a free gift that Cynthia has. I'm excited because we are going to learn about the five steps to feel feelings and for this particular audience. I can't even think of a better subject matter a better topic because most of us, including myself, used a substance to stop from feeling the feelings that we were having, to stop the pain and the suffering. We didn't have mechanisms to feel our feelings. And, and if I got something consistently said to me over the years that I've been doing this and in the private Facebook group, it would be, oh my gosh, I This is so I love it. I love my new life, but I'm still struggling to feel my feelings.
