Today’s guest is Empowerment Coach Pamela Losada. Originally, Switzerland she was a prominent Psychologist and Counselor with a successful practice. But something was missing. She was looking for something deeper and more meaningful, had chronic exhaustion and no measure of success made her feel complete. Then she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This led her on a quest to find something to make her feel more complete. She became a Certified Health Coach, and began to implement the most cutting-edge insights and strategies to help transform her life and the lives of her clients.
