112: {YCC Alumni Series} From Layoff to Breakthrough: Creating a Life of Purpose with Sydni Powell
Do you want a life of purpose, but have no idea how to get started, let alone make it a reality?
This week in the YCC Alumni series, I sit down with my inspiring client, Sydni Powell, who not only rebounded from a layoff, she is now creating the business of her dreams and also is in a loving partnership.
Sydni shares how she went from feeling lost and alone after a major move and a break up to feeling connected and feeling on track with her purpose. Sydni talks about how she finally understood what was holding her back from being happy in her job and in a relationship, and also why she wasn’t starting the business she always dreamed of creating.
During Your Clear Calling, she shifted from feeling like a victim to stepping into her own power and agency in her life. She shares about how she broke her old patterns and stepped into a life that is aligned, joyful and abundant.
