The Road to Rediscovery: A Life-Learning Journey for Growth

The Road to Rediscovery: A Life-Learning Journey for Growth

By Aubrey Johnson

Life is a journey. Along the way, we hit tight turns, inclines, and rough terrains where lessons are presented to us. Some of these we discover and learn, and others are presented to us AGAIN later in life. Will we just ignore them and move on, or REDISCOVER the lesson, and grow?

Aubrey shares lessons he's learned on his journey, and chats with extraordinary people who share their amazing stories as well.

This is truly a can't-miss episode!  We're chatting with Wendi Michelle, who was diagnosed with a life-altering disease; with a slim chance of living, and told she was never going to walk again.  

Wendi refused to accept this.  Instead, she fought to not only walk again, but become a catalyst in the health and wellness sector, owner of her own food and supplement brands, become an entrepreneur, published Author, health Advocate, precision wellness specialist, and more!

Hear about her AMAZING journey and the VERY REAL depths of doubt, frustration, and despair she endured to reach to where she is today.

During my recovery time from shoulder surgery, I've had lots of time to reflect on where I am in life, and, at 51,  what simple practices can I learn to move to the "next level" of my life:  the level of being more thoughtful, more of-service, and more intentional in contributing to make the world a better place.  In this episode, I share some of these simple practices, and welcome any tips or practices you'd like to share as well!
