    The Gift of Being Different with Monica Berg

    Today's episode I have the pleasure have having Monica Berg on as a guest! She is an amazing advocate for her children and she and her daughter wrote a book together!

    Monica Berg is an international speaker, spiritual thought leader, bestselling author (Fear is Not an Option, Rethink Love, The Gift of Being Different) and co-host of the Spiritually Hungry podcast. A self proclaimed “Change Junkie,” Monica is a fresh voice that channels her many years of kabbalistic study along with personal life experiences. Monica shows individuals how to create a life that not only feels like it’s working, but most importantly, a life in which they are living and loving as the powerful, fulfilled person they’ve always wanted to be.
