It's The Human Experience: Overcoming Self-Doubt, Embracing Emotional Intelligence, Self-Worth, Self Awareness, Confidence & Self Love | Living on Purpose

Welcome to “It’s the Human EXperience” Podcast.

We Can Do Hard Things! You Can Change Your Life! So many times we isolate, compartmentalize, and self sabotage as we work on becoming our best self. It's time we redefine the way we approach self improvement, self help, personal development, growth, goals, Emotional Intelligence, success, self care, faith, self worth, self awareness and balance as we work towards becoming our highest self!

Be prepared to be uplifted, inspired, and empowered as you become fearless in pursuit of the life you desire & deserve. Motivation that meets you where you are!

Our goal is to help you level up by creating a safe space to learn & reflect while listening to transparent stories from our host or “successful” professionals & business owners who have agreed to share the parts of success that typically gets X’d out on social media- because that’s the part you need to see & hear- the process (so much growth & personal development takes place during the journey)!

Hi👋🏽, I’m your host, Hazel Brown. A Holistic Growth Coach & Healthcare Leader who has checked off societal boxes such as degrees, career, business, and family!

That's why I am here to share the journey so that you can find your authentic why- your way, as you work to reach your goals, unapologetically!!

Every Thursday, we'll discuss all things personal development, growth mindset, fear, self awareness, success, goals, self-care, relationships, faith, business, career, trauma, self love, self care, confidence, boundaries, financial literacy, and emotional intelligence.

The difference with our podcast is we'll share the good & bad parts of the journey- we're talking highs, lows, & ah ha moments so that you can catch the gems that you need to create your life as you grow and glow into your highest self!

This podcast will inspire you to create a growth mindset and move past your traumas, challenges, or circumstances. It’s time to live out your destiny, and achieve "success" - whatever that is for you!

I want to help you fill your cup!

~I'm rooting for you!
