In this episode Jacynta shares 6 things she's learned about growth as a survivor and leader. She also announces the new name of the podcast...from "The Jacynta Brewton Podcast" to "The Survivors & Leaders Podcast".

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS:
1. Identity - You are not the sum total of what you no longer have or what you no longer can do.
2. Process - Growth is a process, don't rush it. Reframe your hard times as opportunities to grow.
3. Invisible - Just like pain, not all growth can be seen; be content in your own growth progress even if no one else notices.
4. Absence - Growth in your business, family, organization, etc. should continue to happen even when you're gone.
5. Live - Nothing dead can grow; growth is an indication that you are alive - now live!
6. Flexibility - Growth is as flexible as palm trees during a hurricane, they bend but don't break.
