What Business Leaders are Saying Around The Globe
Difficult life events are meant to pave the way to amazing transformation
The Hero’s Journey
In true Joseph Campbell style, Rachel presents her own personal hero’s journey. She focuses on an extraordinary life-changing event. The audience will experience an intimate and vulnerable “forum like” conversation. She shares her story, describes what addiction and compulsive behaviors are and how underlying trauma is often at the root.
Understanding Compulsive Behaviors
Compulsive behaviors are not the problem but rather a symptom of the underlying issue. It is often evidence of an unmet physiological or psychological need desperately trying to be soothed. While the compulsive or addictive behavior generally starts by choice, it may become uncontrollable by the individual and can lead to destructive life events.
Finding Meaning and Purpose
Everyone has a purpose; without it, we lose our way and become demotivated and depressed. Studies have shown that when people are contributing and functioning in alignment with their higher purpose, they are likely to have a healthier outlook on life and be more resilient to stress and destructive compulsive behaviors. With a healthier balanced lifestyle, success and optimal performance will follow in all you do.
