Episode 126: "You're Struggling with Being Important, What Now?" with Glenda Benevidas

In this episode, Glenda Benevides and I talk about her life experiences being a performing artist that started when she was a teenager. She had the support of her parents to do whatever she was passionate to do, and SHE DID! Until she found herself in an uncomfortable place where she felt she was no longer important enough and didn’t belong…    Glenda Benevides was born in Oakland Ca and has been singing professionally since the age of 16, having toured from Japan to the EU, the UK and through Canada. Her career has included singing and performing for the South African Film Festival in Canne, France, The Brava theater for a women’s fundraiser gala in San Francisco, the Popkomm Music conference in Berlin, a Beverly Wilshire, Los Angeles solo performance for best-selling author Harv Ecker and many more.

I have had a lifetime of opportunities where I had the choice to Breakdown or Breakthrough. It is my hope this Podcast may become your light in the darkness, as you listen to the stories of people I consider “heroes.” Each one had a point where they too had to choose to either Breakdown or Breakthrough! Working from home, with my husband/business partner, helping people around the world find new levels of success in their health and wellness, is part of what makes me tick!
