Do we tend to shape our lives according to the expectations of others? Why do we stop engaging ourselves with things that actually make us joyful? Our guest today knows exactly how that feels! And as a successful life coach, she understands how we can get ourselves to be more present in the process of self-care.

Marie Forleo was named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation. A best-selling author of the book, ‘Everything is Figureoutable,’ Marie is a successful life and career coach.

Marie talks to me about life lessons from her difficult childhood experiences - like being kicked out of the house at the age of 13. She explains how we can stop becoming the prisoners in our minds’ torture chambers by not focusing on successes or failures. 

In our season finale, our guest really brings to us an extremely honest and heartwarming conversation.

“I am a women’s rights activist at heart and I shall die trying…I will always fight for women’s rights, resources and voices.” This is just one of the many powerful quotes from our inspirational guest today, Zainab Salbi.

The co-founder of Women for Women International, Zainab worked to empower women from war torn countries for more than 20 years. 

After helping nearly a half a million women survivors of conflicts, Zainab now works with women to solve climate change issues through her Daughters for Earth organization.

Zainab talks to me about her struggle escaping Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and how a near-death experience recently allowed her to accept herself and redefined her purpose.

I was inspired to learn how she started her organization at the age of 23 but knew exactly when to leave from the leadership role as well. 

This conversation was therapeutic, transparent and motivational.

How does an elementary school classroom exercise conducted by a teacher more than 50 years ago continue to impact, teach and remain socially relevant today?

For that, you’ll need to listen to our guest, Jane Elliott.

The educator and social activist famously conducted the ‘blue eye-brown eye’ exercise with her classroom in 1968, to teach the young students the foolishness and sad reality of discrimination and racism in America.

Elliott went on to conduct the social experiment in other classrooms, with college students, at The White House and broadcasted shows like ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’ 

Despite the backlash, Elliott sought to prove the absurdity of discrimination and push for us to break walls of division.

She talks to me about her childhood, the struggles she and her family faced and why she believes in only the ‘human race.’

Be prepared for an unabashed, blunt, honest and transparent conversation. 

I learned from a trailblazer who was ahead of her time and yet still holds on to that youthful spirit.

Learn and listen to the full conversation!
