Our special guest today has a special story, incredible fortitude and a huge heart. In a moment, you are going to hear an interview that’s amazing … sad … hopeful … shocking. It’s a triumphant story. And a powerful testimony. So … If you are seeking inspiration. If you are searching for hope … you’ve come to the right place. This is a special 39-minute episode. Some stories simply cannot be contained in a 9-minute package.
Our wisdom conversation with Dawne Jacoby will leave you with the unmistakable feeling: “I can do this. It doesn’t matter what bad things have happened to me … or what setbacks I have incurred. Those things do not define me — and they only hold me back if I allow it.”
Dawne was a former corporate executive, whose efforts were centered around growth, organizational change, relationships and development. She decided after multiple layoffs to lead with her faith and her heart to pursue her passion … to align with her purpose in this world - helping people. Today, in this special bonus episode, you will discover why Dawne Jacoby is one of the wisest people I know!
