We’re kicking off the podcasts again with an amazing guest - Tulsi Vagjiani. This is an incredible episode and you’re going to really take a lot from it today!
What you will hear on todays podcast is a story of survival, determination and resilience. A story of overcoming one’s inner demons and those of society at the same time.
Tulsi is a healer in many respects and I hope that her story that she bravely shares with us all today will help you on your journey, whatever your individual obstacles may be.
In Tulsi’s words and from her own website:
“You may be climbing a mountain but think of the view when you reach the top”
Tulsi is a global ambassador and humanitarian and with her current role as a motivational speaker and a confidence & empowerment coach, she is able to travel and make a difference internationally.
Tulsi’s role includes working in schools delivering workshops to empower the students, particularly around self-image and mental health awareness.
