#219 Did you know that awakening your heart and trusting your heart wisdom can allow you to understand yourself and your position in life more accurately? The heart speaks a different language, one the intellectual mind does not understand. But if you desire to, you can learn this language and receive the wisdom and joy that an awakened heart will bring. It's not difficult. And in this episode, I welcome Josie Thomson to teach us about that and so much more. As a former learning and development manager of a blue-chip international mining giant, and now a multi-award winning life coach, author of The Wise Advocate (the inner voice of strategic leadership), two-time cancer survivor, and singer mother, Josie has been a force of transformation in the lives of many. What holds the threads of Josie's work altogether is a commitment to personal transformation. Her work is to help others "transcend limitations, transform wounds into love, power, forgiveness, and gratitude." In this interview, Josie shares valuable advice on why we may not be able to change what's happening around us or to us, and how we can take control of how we respond. Josie is a big believer in miracles can happen, having witnessed them and experienced them herself after returning "to life" after flat-lining twice. This episode will highlight neuroscience insights, coupled with her personal experience and some experiential practices for you to connect in with your own inner loving guide. Enjoy!
