On today’s episode guest Nina Sossamon-Pogue talks about resilience in the face of adversity, lessons learned from her personal struggles. Nina is on a mission to use her life experiences to help others get through the difficult challenges and changes that inevitably come in life. Her passion is helping women who feel stuck in a place where they feel life will never be the same whether it’s due to divorce, trauma, losing a job, or any other life altering circumstances. Nina helps listeners to look at their life as a book with each day as a new, blank page to create the life story they want to have. She navigates us through the language we use, the themes we have or want, the vision of what those better days might look like so that we create a new script, a new outlook, a new perspective and a new life. Warning listeners against the dangerous game of comparison and “what-ifs”, Nina believes that learning to be happy with the choices we’ve made, adjust the now as necessary and make sure your future includes those things that bring joy and good times to the days to come. Remember that it’s always the hottest when we are in the fire, cooler days will come and the way we navigate the storms of life is setting the stage for how our future unfolds. If you or a friend are facing adversity, grab a cuppa something wonderful and gather some strategies to help you adapt and overcome in a way that sets your feet on a solid path. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode158/
