    Episode 28 - Sabrina Sandhu

    Sabrina is on a mission to shatter the stigma around addiction and champion the journey of recovering addicts. Sober for 9 years, she embraced coaching as a way to pay her healing forward. Her sobriety journey began with a transformative therapist who took a coach approach, guiding her to recovery.



    After a successful career at Rogers, Sabrina decided to pause the corporate grind for a profound “career uplift”, repurposing her life to follow her passion for helping others.



    "The beauty of this program is the coaching I receive throughout. I found my life coach in this program," she shares.



    The most surprising part of her journey has been the deep connections and community formed around the learning process. Sabrina has developed lifelong friendships from her cohort, finding strength and camaraderie. Initially feeling awkward, vulnerable, and worried about not fitting in, those fears quickly faded in the safe, supportive environment of her group.



    With passion, kindness, and a genuine desire to help, Sabrina is changing lives. As a coach, she is dedicated to helping people design the life they truly want. Her dream is to open a wellness facility for people who want to step into recovery, healing and growth.



    Subscribe to our podcast today and join Sabrina on this inspiring mission to transform lives and build a stronger, more supportive community for those exploring recovery.

    In Steve’s world, the fast-paced corporate landscape of finance, banking, and investments converges with the ever-evolving realm of personal growth and development. He is a professional driven not only by numbers and profits but also by a profound passion for personal development.



    Steve firmly believes that in the corporate arena, there is no greater asset than coaching. He envisions a workplace where individuals are empowered to navigate both their personal and professional challenges with the support of skilled coaches, fostering a culture of growth and resilience.



    Having experienced firsthand the transformative power of coaching, Steve emphasizes the mastery of coaching skills over specialization. He recognizes that while niche expertise is valuable, particularly when starting your business, the ability to deeply connect with and understand clients transcends specific domains. It's this focus on building rapport and understanding that has enabled Steve to forge meaningful connections with colleagues and clients alike, catalyzing a ripple effect of positive change.

Inspiring

I recently underwent my own personal transformation. This led me to your school, which I am starting in November. I am a Birth Doula and. Birth photographer, I have worked from fertility, loss, trauma and in all other areas of our births. The one reason I know intuitively and instinctually that I chose correctly, is this podcast!!
I have connected to your message, to your power, to your passion and to your purpose since the first episode and I may be only on episode 2. I am looking forward to learning along side you and growing in big ways. I believe we can connect our birthing people, our health care providers, our families and our children to Live and what is possible. I seek to get in front of the expectant person and from their power, make choices for themselves and their families. I am excited thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiring others AKA me
