In this episode Roger is in conversation with Nic Devlin. 

Several years ago Nic left a highly successful corporate career as an award winning developer of people. She did so because she recognised the voice in her head wasn’t the voice she wanted to listen to – her soul was calling. She became an Ishaya monk (she even got a new sanskit name; Mahita Ishaya) honing her innate ability to access truth and wisdom. Today she brings these gifts to the world in her work as an executive coach and Co-Founder of Remarkable Women helping women unlock their own potential and make the difference they long for. Living a life that fills THEM with joy.

We discuss:

• Friendship
• Denial
• Betrayal
• Intuition 
• Powerful lessons and..
• How one of the bravest things you can do is to live a life that’s different from what others expect from you.
