Combining Strategy with Intuition - Janelle Lara

It’s technically Janelle Lara’s second time on this podcast, but this time the tables have turned and she is the guest and not the host! Today, Janelle talks about doing healing work during quarantine in the absence of our usual self-care opportunities, “trekking uphill” when building a business, and how she manages to be both spiritual and religious in searching for her truth. This episode revolves around the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we can use this as an opportunity to deepen our connection with our faith, accept that we only have control over our own actions, and focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. While Janelle doesn’t necessarily recommend changing course during a global crisis, she encourages us to honestly assess what we believe our calling to be and to pivot if we’re not on that path. Cassandra and Janelle also discuss how they are using both their religion and their spirituality to help guide their clients. Tune in to find out more!
