§ Brings interesting perspectives around working through triggers, getting "unstuck," self-care, and more. "As you think about your life, do you ever wish your story was different?

Based on the idea that the challenges we face in our present reality are always connected to something from our past, LaShonda helps people identify the limiting beliefs they carry with them, edit the stories they tell themselves using face and truth and, as a result, rewrite their entire future...and the futures of the people around them"
