 Today we'll be learning from Shay Rowbottom. Shay has made millions as a LinkedIn influencer and social media guru with over 600,000 followers on her personal LinkedIn profile.

But in just one year, Shay's world fell apart piece by piece. In this episode Shay shares the story of the year everything fell apart, the process of slowly rebuilding from a more grounded place and how you can do the same.

Key takeaways:

  • How an unhealthy relationship led Shay to a question that changed her life.
  • The secret to being present with the pain needed to heal.
  • How to recognize and overcome covert narcissism in yourself.
  • Why getting quiet enough to notice what's actually going on in your life is crucial.
