In this deep and soul-stirring episode of the Life Engineering Podcast, Gabriela is joined by Joanna Horton McPherson—speaker, educator, truth-teller, and founder of the Madre Tierra Foundation. Together, they explore how the stories we tell ourselves shape our identities, our confidence, and our capacity to lead and serve.
From Joanna's personal journey of discovering her voice through theater at the age of 13 to her life-changing work in coaching women leaders, this conversation is an invitation to revisit the narratives that no longer serve us—and to reclaim authorship of our lives.
Whether you're a leader, speaker, or someone yearning for more truth and impact in your life, this episode is for you.
