My passion and commitment with V-S-T ❤ is to share the REAL, honest, raw, light, and heavy of life and love in this CRAZY, TRAGIC, SOMETIMES ALMOST MAGIC, AWFUL, BEAUTIFUL LIFE. (I have a musical brain and relate most everything to song lyrics.) If these words don’t perfectly sum up life, I don’t know what does. Life is a big adventure full of challenges (lessons) and blessings. When we learn to embrace uncertainty and challenges as a blessing too, the game of life changes. Victim, Survivor, THRIVER. We all face adversity in life. It is easy to feel like we are the only ones going through the "messy" of life sometimes. Especially in the days of social media highlight reels. While I do love a good highlight reel, I want to share the REAL stuff. The stories of people moving through real life, all the joy and the pain (the messy and the magic) to show others they are not alone. My hope is to offer hope, insight and resources to our Tribe. Together we can laugh, cry, grow, be inspired, inspire, and learn how to be grateful for the blessings and the lessons, so that we can all THRIVE.

highly recommend

Zanna has a way to find magic in the messy by sharing real stories where folks share their real life struggles but find light and lessons through the journey. Zanna digs in to relate these experiences in navigating through and offers pointers on how you can relate in your own life and breaking it down to simply that. Magic in the messy. Not to mention she leaves you with a great play list to lift your spirits. This is a must listen to. Thank you Zanna for bringing your this platform to us all!

Love her!

Zanna is down to earth, talks about life, good and bad. She is honest and still finds the positive even in the negativities of life.
Great podcast. I highly recommend.
