In this season we’re exploring Changing your body – It’s an inside job. My guest is Michele Risa, an executive coach, speaker, author, and the CEO of Collaborative Solutions. Michele brings a whole new perspective to defining what’s important as she shares her personal journey with cancer.
Michele’s analogy of life as a salad bar where you intentionally select what works for you resonates deeply. Her philosophy is that we are powerful beings, and we can choose how we see things and how we respond to them. Her wisdom is timeless. Listen to this wonderful conversation while you take a stroll and draw inspiration for your own life. As Michele says, ‘we were never meant to journey alone’.
