Ep. #94 Today on the Pursuit of Wellness, I’m thrilled to have Mimi Bouchard, the innovator behind the Superhuman App.  It’s easy to lose ourselves in the daily grind, but today's enlightening discussion about her unique activations that extend beyond traditional meditation was a revelation. We explored the concept of resilience, not just as bouncing back but as a pathway to gaining strength, wisdom, and empowerment, while shifting away from a victim mentality towards a future of success and abundance. We also examined how an entrepreneurial spirit can harmoniously blend with personal care, and discussed strategies for podcast marketing that might offer transformative opportunities. Joining this conversation with Mimi might just be the stepping stone you need to transform your self-image and embrace a life of abundance.
