George Kalantzis
George Kalantzis is a father, author and ex-Marine, who is breaking the mold and is on the journey of empowering others to overcome the darkest days in their lives and providing a safe space for others through his words.
Life is not linear. It’s a magnificent dance that invites us to be more than what we can ever imagine. But that doesn’t mean that growth is easy. Transitions from one stage of life to the next can trigger feelings of fear, shame, guilt, anger, resentment and even depression.
In the powerful book that George writes about navigating through life’s tough transitions, he’s going to help you let go of the past and move into the future with strength, dignity, and optimism. He shows you how to fully accept yourself and rewrite the way you see the world to stop holding yourself back from your best self and to unlock extreme power. Your life is unfolding exactly the way it was intended. And throughout this episode, we will discuss certain subjects that you can learn from on how to connect with your heart.
