Summary
In this episode, I interview Lyena Strelkoff. Lyena is a transformation coach, storyteller, and speaker passionately dedicated to advancing the way humans respond to change, challenge, and adversity.
A lifelong dancer paralyzed in a hiking accident, Lyena's entire life was elevated, not in spite of paralysis but because of it.
Lyena is the creator of The Shero's Way™, a modern, feminized approach to adversity that turns challenges into catalysts that catapult us upward.
Lyena isn't divorced, although she does tell us the story of how her parents' divorce affected her. But I want you to listen to her story from the perspective of transformation. Listen for how Lyena transforms what could have been — should have been — the worst experience almost anyone can imagine into something full of grace and opportunity. And listen till the end where we discuss how this does NOT mean not acknowledging pain and suffering, but rather embracing all of it, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
