Episode 6 with special guest Dr Barbara Von Mettenheim

Description

From homeless to Ivy League. My guest this week, Barbara, was homeless, she was a shell of a human being, with virtually no life skills. She lived on the streets “living“ in warehouses and friends closets for several years and through a very strange event ended up in university and then was accepted into a prestigious Ivy League college for grad school.

In this episode, we talk about Barbara’s journey and how she now coaches business owners and executives who are bored with the current job but don’t know how to move forward. Listen, as we discussed what a real goal is and the neuroscience behind change.

Barbara offers a free half hour coaching session and you can join her Facebook group, success at your command. All links below.
