S2: EP6 Finding your Truth through Adversity with guest Mary Haddock Staniland

Adversity can be a bit#h!  It can also be our biggest teacher and the catalyst for some of our most transformative personal growth. 

This is one heart warming, deep and humorous ride of a convo with Mary Haddock-Staniland! She shares with us her journey through the fires of adversity and how those fires helped shape her into the women she is today.   Mary's not only successfully navigated the path to finding her truth she's grounded herself firmly in it.  It's the place from which she lives & speaks and it's the enabler to the amazing work she does today.

Mary is a Keynote Speaker, MC, Lifeline Ambassador, Board Member, a champion for diversity and inclusion and an advocate for the transgender community.  She also knows how to have a damn good laugh and how to not take herself, or life, to seriously!
