How do you reclaim “Your Whole Self”?

In this powerful interview NYTimes best-selling author & founder of the Pachamama Alliance, John Perkins shares his wisdom on how do exactly this. 

John was one of my early mentors which made it especially meaningful to come back together for this specific conversation. 

John is a renowned author and leader exposing corruption around the world, sharing important lessons from indigenous communities, and teaching actionable steps on how we can transform our failing Death Economy to a successful Life Economy, one that is supportive of all people and nature.

I recently had the privilege to sit down with Marianne to explore the profound opportunity we women have at this time to truly RISE.  One of the things that came up was the opportunity for so many women to step out of little girl mode and into empowered women mode. (hint: this involves being willing to not be liked) this is for you if you are a people pleaser or even on in recovery.
