Rhona Mitra: Conscious Decision Making, Overcoming Limiting Beliefs, and Finding Wholeness Again (Part 1)
Life, in its infinite complexity and unpredictability, often deals us hands that we do not know how to play. We may find ourselves faced with unexpected circumstances, challenges that seem insurmountable, and paths that are unfamiliar and daunting. These moments can feel like we're lost in a wilderness, unsure of our direction and uncertain of our ability to navigate the terrain.
From overcoming an autoimmune illness, breaking free from societal expectations, and finding fulfillment in the unknown, my guest, Rhona Mitra, shares her unique experiences of living in harmony with nature and animals, and how these interactions have shaped her perspective on life.
Rhona shares her transformative journey of living off-grid, the importance of finding wholeness and connection through nature, and the powerful lessons she has learned from her deep bond with horses, leading to personal growth, self-discovery, and finding her path in life.
