Learning True Grit and Grace with Coach Amberly Lago
“If we can get out of our ego, and be of service, that’s where the magic happens.”
TRANSFORMATION THROUGH ACCEPTANCE
Few people embody resilience the way best-selling author, keynote speaker, fellow podcast host, health coach, and my dear friend Amberly Lago does. I was so honored & excited to have her as one of my very first guests on the Flourish or Fold podcast, as I know her story of grit, grace, and triumph will resonate with so many of you, as it does with me.
Amberly's resilience story is one of true strength. She is living proof that there is light & opportunity hidden within every challenge, if only we are willing to look.
As usual, she brought oodles of insight, wisdom, and inspiration to the table, but there was something, in particular, we spoke about that really stuck with me.
Amberly spoke about some of the darkest moments in her journey, particularly when she had begun drinking heavily to cope with the physical & emotional trauma in the weeks & months following the accident that almost claimed her leg and her life. And then she said; "I think that any transformation, any successful journey, begins with acceptance."
What a beautiful mindset. Only once we can be honest with ourselves, and accept where we are in our journey, can true transformation begin. I know you will enjoy this incredible episode and getting to know fellow resilience queen, Amberly Lago.
