When the life that looks perfect no longer feels right, change isn’t rebellion, it’s remembering who you are.
In this episode, travel blogger, certified coach, TEDx speaker and author - Dianna Hanken shares how she walked away from a 20 year marriage and successful real estate career and later, sold everything to follow spirit across the Americas.
We talk about what it means to listen, trust and act when everything familiar falls away, the difference between stepping off the path to escape versus expand and how learning to surrender turned loss into freedom.
