Speaker: Lisa Marini
I used to be a Superintendent for a Multifamily General Contractor – ya, quite stressful – and as a woman in that industry it caused me not only stress, it created a ton of physical and mental issues. I had memory loss, chronic migraines, hormonal issues and hair loss. But worse than the physical issues was my emotional misery. I felt I lost my purpose and zest for life.
I felt lost, depressed, ridden with anxiety. I was desperate to find a solution – but it felt hopeless.
Then the most amazing life altering thing happened … I was attending a conference with a neuroscientist and I learned that it was my brain that was in the way. It was stopping me, and making me behave in certain ways to protect me. I was floored!
It never occurred to me that my brain would paralyze me with fear, or make me be snippy or overwhelmed as a defense mechanism!
So I want to share with you all that I have learned so you too can live a life you love!!
I can help you manage your reactions and emotions, learn to manage stress, set goals the way the brain need to understand them, and to find and live your passion – all through the lens of how your brain works.
