10 Jeannette The Zen Queen
Today's episode belongs to one of the craziest stories on this show so far. The name of the owner of this story is Jeannette Breen.Jeannette is the editor in Chief for Mindvalley Meditations, as well as a Certified Coach who has an honors degree in Psychology. She currently lives in Tallinn Estonia. Her desire is to use her life experience and knowledge to support others in becoming the best version of themselves. She has resided in 5 countries and about a dozen cities. She worked as a model for nearly a decade where she lived the champagne life, then found great success in corporate sales. Everything changed when she experienced plant medicine, which lead her to realize that the champagne life was a dangerous illusion and that the kill or be killed mentality in most corporate structures was not how she wanted to live her life. She decided to pursue a more simple life, left everything in the USA, and moved to the Sacred Valley of Peru to pursue a plant medicine and healing path. This was disrupted by the pandemic. Her connection with plant medicine, her passion for personal growth and psychology, and her own personal journey of healing have led her to who she has become today.So what are you waiting for?
