About our guest: A few years ago, Chandler was traveling for work and became curious about her past traumas and the impact they were having on her present life. A 4 a.m. inspirational wake-up led Chandler to her current journey as the host of Healing Heroes Podcast. That early morning, Chandler sprung out of bed and transcribed her vision for the show and since that time, has been building her team of heroes who have the mission to empower women all over the world.
Chandler is a wife, mother, and former corporate marketing executive who is ALL IN on seeking her quest for her transformative journey of self-discovery. Chandler has surrounded herself with her heroes who represent not just experts in their fields, but her own healers and advisors, who serve as guides along her path to peace, happiness, and ultimately living the life she was meant to be living.
Chandler thanks for taking a leap of faith in your self-discovery, thanks for putting an incredible team of healers together that have in a short time, impacted women all over the world and thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients – Welcome to the Show!
