Summary

Michael welcomes Dr. Dravon James. Dravon is a Transformation Specialist, inspirational speaker, radio host, life coach, and the author of “Freedom is Your Birthright.” She is the founder of the Next Step Leadership Academy which empowers women to use everything that shows up in their lives–good, “bad,” or otherwise–to reach their next level of greatness; as well as Every Day Peace, a platform that helps and inspires others to build the life of their dreams. Dravon also hosts her weekly radio show, “Dr. Dravon James, Every Day Peace,” on MindBodySpirit.FM, and is an actress whose career credits include a recurring role on HBO’s acclaimed series The Wire.

Brief highlights from Dravon’s and Michael’s enriching conversation include:

-What is “The Great Exhaustion” and how we got here

-Getting career clarity by asking ourselves, “Does my current career/job role align with my goals?” and “What gives me vitality, and what drains me?”

-Optimizing our personal time and why it’s essential to listen to our body and rest when we need it

-The main tenets of “Freedom is Your Birthright,” Dravon’s Next Step Leadership Academy and Every Day Peace platform, her ongoing acting career—and so much more!

Next, Michael concludes with a guided meditation on being ‘the observer’ of your life.
