#222: Becoming A Billboard Pop Artist, Raising $100M For Charity, & Becoming “Unmessablewith” w/ Josselyne Herman Saccio

Here’s a small sample of the “Curiosity Resume” of today’s guest:

• Helped raise over $100M for non profits
• Was a pop artist in the 90s with a song that knocked Whitney Houston’s "I Will Always Love You" out of the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 40 Charts
• Has been married to her husband for 30 years, with 3 children, in New York City… and has had a grand total of 5 fights with her husband (what an epic statistic to track 😆)

This, in combination with doing things like deciding to also live in her favorite city in the world (Paris) were all things that stood out to me when I first met Josselyne Herman Saccio.

She’s someone who’s willing to bend the rules of reality to manifest her curiosity, and I knew there was a ton to learn from her!

Here are 3 things to look forward to in today’s episode:

1. Why according to Josselyne your vision is NOT a goal — it’s a space, and how understanding this subtle shift impacts the way you approach manifesting what you desire
2. How shifting a limiting belief resulted in Josselyne becoming a Billboard Top 40 artist when she was a teenager
3. What Josselyne’s daughter selling bead sticks has to do with catalyzing Josselyne to raise over $100M for charity 

Can’t wait for you to listen!
