02: Barbara de Angelis - Live Your Soul's Truth

“If someone followed you around with your thoughts on a loudspeaker, would they still want you as their teacher?”

Summary about this episode:

In this incredibly powerful episode, I get to interview one of my first and most influential mentors. I read her book at 15 years old, and have been deeply moved by her work and teachings since then. We get into some very juicy questions and Barbara really dives deep on many hot topics. She talks about her spiritual awakening and the journey that took her to be the incredible successful woman she is today.

Barbara shares what she thinks it takes to be an authentic personal coach in today’s changing self-help market. She talks about the driving force in her life, how it differs from others, and how this path-less-traveled has shaped her work. We talk about what her many years of experience has taught her, and Barbara explains what spirituality means to her.

Some questions I might ask:

• How do you define ego, and how do you prevent it from running your life?
• How do you make sense of an enlightened person doing bad things?
