You are more powerful than you think.   With the right attitude and mindset, you can achieve anything in life. This is the belief of my guest in this episode, Ani Filipova.   Ani grew up with humble beginnings in Bulgaria, a socialist country, where she was always told “be quiet” and “don’t speak up”. But she knew she wanted more out of life, and she has never let those voices stop her.   Going on to become COO of Citbank that has 250,00 employees globally, Ani talks about why she left it all behind to focus on her family and then become a coach. She shares the deep challenges she faced in having children, and the mental load this had on her fearing it may never happen.   “Apart from dying you can reverse or correct anything” – Ani Filipova   You'll hear about:   00:44 - An introduction to Ani 04:39 - Humble beginnings to COO of Citibank 09:44 - The dark times Ani has faced 15:08 - How has motherhood changed Ani 21:08 - What's important in a healthy relationship? 27:22 - Living with heart palpitations 33:06 - Why Ani climbed Kilimanjaro 35:11 - Why Ani left the corporate world 40:45 - Ani on her coaching 42:13 - How has Ani evolved throughout her life? 43:26 - What has scarred or scared Ani? 49:31 - Is Ani good at setting boundaries? 54:20 - Ani on the loss of her father   Ani’s resources:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anifilipova/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ani.filipova.148 Change Advisory - https://anifilipova.me/ Ani’s podcast Change is Possible - https://changeispossible.site/   My resources:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnell/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/ChrisOConnell11 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ TikTok - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ZWYrxrzzaElmpZMy5S86w Basemindset website - https://basemindset.com/
