Anyone Who Tells You What You “Should” Do Is Wrong, Here’s Why | Cynthia Garcia on Women of Impact

Do you find yourself living your life on others terms? Do you tend to let your friends, family, and even strangers influence your goals, dreams, and what you’re ultimately capable of? On this episode of Women of Impact, Lisa Bilyeu is joined by celebrity life coach, nutritional expert, and CEO Cynthia Garcia to discuss such matters and more as they explore the power of changing your perspective on your life, rewriting the stories you tell yourself, and how to live life on your own terms as your true authentic self. They discuss how to reframe your perspectives, why you need to look inward, how to get used to discomfort and change, why you need to understand and change the stories you tell yourself, the silver-lining of trauma and pain, how to stop focusing on what others think of you, why it’s okay to not always be happy, the power of curiosity, and much more.  SHOW NOTES: Intro | Lisa introduces and welcomes today’s guest, Cynthia Garcia.
