Margo is joined by Nurse Practitioner, mentor, guide and coach for midlife-ish women (and her sister!) Shelley Tantau. Shelley has a superpower for empowering others to see beyond their perceived boundaries in order to find healing, clarity, and incite positive change within their lives. Her journey through grief after the loss of a dear friend was the catalyst to challenging cultural and societal norms as well as the stories she told herself to find healing and joy within. Shelley believes that the world needs people that are living their most full and vibrant lives…not ones that are “just fine” and that your joy matters just as much as the person next to you. Margo and Shelley discuss: Putting a stop to the glorification of busyness Fear around exposing ourselves to vulnerability Understanding trauma in order to heal from it Creativity and its relation to healing Liberation work and why it’s been so important in Shelley’s own journey Habits: the bad and the good, the learning and unlearning Finding joy after loss and grief Stepping into authenticity and finding one's true path Connect with Shelley: https://www.shelleytantau.com/ https://www.instagram.com/stantau https://www.facebook.com/shelley.tantau/ https://www.pinterest.com/stantau/
