*. REPUBLISHED with the CORRECT audio, sorruy about that!!! *There are Two Ways to Live Life; as a victim of circumstance or as the badass you really are. My guest this week, Erin Brennan, has lived by and embodied this mantra throughout her life.  She reminds up that the choice is ours - you can react to life's curveballs or you can grab them and throw them back. Because when you embrace the unknown, you play by your rules. Erin is a Creative Consultant who blends the worlds of brand strategy, design thinking, linguistics, neuroscience, and a few other things to help her clients move mountains. She also believes in magic and tries to sprinkle it into the lives of others often. On this week episode, Erin and I have way too much fun talking entrepreneurship, tapping into our authentic creativity, and why It takes guts to stand out. Even more so to stand still long enough to hear what your soul’s been trying to say. Erin shares how uncertainty can hold us back, but what if it's the key?  Erin talks about her lifetime of navigating chronic health issues: getting sick at 16 and diagnosed with a genetic disorder that made her confront who she wanted to be and how she wanted to live her life early on. And a fellow traveler, she speaks of traveling around the world, packing up everything sge owned and spend 3 years living out of a suitcase traveling the world.BIO:Erin Brennan believes the best way through life's messiest moments is to embrace them. With a subtle shift in perspective, she invites you to find possibility in the unknown, if you're brave enough to show up and say yes. Her work challenges you to swap certainty for curiosity. Through her decision-making frameworks, Erin helps you shift unconscious belief patterns using a combination of psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, quantum physics (and magic) to find freedom from fear and uncertainty to reclaim your power.It was her own journey, navigating serious health challenges, starting her own creative agency in 2010, and pursuing a life on her own terms, that she learned, on the other side of fear is freedom. Erin is currently working on her first documentary, asking: What if chasing your wildest dreams meant staring down your biggest fears? Erin is known for delivering tough love, unfiltered honest insights, and just enough magic to help people get out of their own way to live life on their own terms.Erin Brennancreative consultant** NEW WEBSITE **Documentary Link: https://www.averageerin.com/ type // [email protected] // 415.496.9825browse // www.erinbrennan.co
