During this podcast I'm joined by a Very Special Guest, Ms. Melat Tezera, who shares her journey and insights about going from instability to stability in a relatively short period of time.  In particular, Melat shares her experiences about a crippling level of anxiety that got so bad that she could not drive.  However, over the past year of being a client of mine, she's now back on the roads, uncovering and working through past traumas, becoming courageous, brave, strong and resilient, and has even started her own Design Firm, Melat Tezera Designs, which helps people, organizations, small businesses and companies achieve their goals through social media advertising and marketing strategies and campaigns.  Specifically, Melat has worked with larged companies like Kroger and Comcast achieve their advertising and marketing goals.  Melat can be reached through Instagram by the handle "melattezera" and by email at [e-mail]. 

 

Definitely listen to the full podcast and gain insights through what she shares about her journey of building the mental muscles to overcome life challenges, and how she made the decision to choose a holistic approach at my practices after having gone to 18 physicians seeking solutions to her issues, and only having addictive prescriptions shoved in her face.
