Summary

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Darlene Cordero—author, strategist, thought leader, mother, dear friend, and survivor & current fighter of Stage 4 liver cancer. Darlene has been instrumental in shaping the careers of some of the most prominent names in wellness, including Deepak Chopra and Jay Shetty, and has also started an agency to help healers grow, evolve, and expand their businesses.

With her new book, The Healer’s Playbook: Empowering Wellness Entrepreneurs, she offers a blueprint for those looking to turn their spiritual gifts into thriving businesses. In this conversation we offer a deep dive into what it’s like to live with a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, how to live in a miracle mindset, what’s next for Darlene, how to show up with your loved ones who are sick, wellness practices that actually work for her, and so much more.

I am so proud of Darlene and honored to share this conversation with you today. Find her on IG at @meetdarlene!
