Elise Madrick (Chicago) talks to Jessica about the huge change she had to bring about in her personal and professional life, and how it led to her establishing Cerené, following her own career path at the Kellogg School of Management and training as a psychotherapist. Those who wish to have a transformation in their own lives are guided by Elise’s team over 108 days to manage the process. You’ll enjoy the story of the private jet salesman who became an actor in a Hollywood movie! Elise discusses how people sometimes hold themselves back from the success they deserve:
"A lot of times it is past experiences and it's not just the experience itself. It really actually has nothing to do with that. It's the story that somebody makes up about the thing that happened and that story – they make it mean something about who they are and what they're of and what their life is for... Often what happens is people make up these stories that they are not good enough, that they're not worthy, that they don't deserve a life that is free and exciting and adventurous because of these things that have happened or the stories that they've made up about these things that have happened. And so our goal in working with them is, okay, how do we figure out how to let go of those stories?”
