Episode 06: Emotional Obesity, The Art of Authenticity, & The Akashic Records | Laura Coe
Subscribe on Apple Podcasts
I’ve known Laura Coe for over 20 years, but we hadn’t really connected since our 20s before she reached out to me a couple of years ago. It was initially for some advice, but Laura actually ended up catalyzing some huge shifts in my life — a wonderful conversation on her show The Art of Authenticity helped me realize I love making podcasts and her support as a coach helped me overcome the self-doubt I was struggling with as I tried to uplevel my life and unlearn the programming that was holding me back.
Laura is also the author of Emotional Obesity: A Philosophical Guide to Lighten Your Life and, as both as an author and as a coach, she helps others understand esoteric philosophical ideas and ancient wisdom so that they anyone can apply these important (but often linguistically obscure) lessons to their own lives.
One of the ancient tools she uses is the Akashic records and, if you haven’t heard of this before, you’re in for a treat in this episode — it’s fascinating, and it ties into why Laura reached out to me in the first place.
