In this powerful episode, I sit down with two remarkable friends and soulful leaders: Genoveva La Placa and Shirin Aryanpour, for a conversation that will help you transform your pain into purpose. These women have faced immense challenges, from loss and illness to cultural oppression, and they've emerged stronger than ever, committed to uplifting and empowering other women.
Our conversation weaves through topics of emotional intelligence, the importance of community, and the power of presence in our daily lives. Whether you're dealing with loss, health challenges, career transitions, or any of life's major hurdles, this episode offers a roadmap for moving through difficulty toward meaningful change.
Key Takeaways:
- Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
- Quality relationships add seven years to your life.
- Become the CEO of your life through self-awareness.
- Serving others helps heal personal pain.
- Midlife is the time to shed people-pleasing and embrace authenticity.
- Using anger and frustration as a catalyst for positive change.
Geno Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to believe and love yourself.
Shirin Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to shine bright and move forward.
