EP204: Are You “Crushing” Life or Savoring It? with Vanessa Loder

The hustle to overachieve at work and at home--all in the hopes that we can “crush it” until we finally feel fulfilled--leaves many of us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. In her new book, Soul Solution, author and coach Vanessa Loder explores how we can recover our joy by creating our own road map for living instead of following the one that’s been handed to us. By doing things like “following our energetic breadcrumbs” and creating micro-moments of change, we can tap into our intuitive soul power to create a life filled with meaning and joy.   Guest Bio Vanessa Loder is an international keynote speaker and sought-after expert on women’s leadership, mindfulness, stress management, and sustainable success. She's been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Glamour, and the Huffington Post, among others.
