Recognizing the self-awareness and discipline she developed through her own growth inspired Valencia to start her own life coaching business so that she can support other women through their own transformations.

Episode Notes
Today’s guest is Rowan Woolsey, a mindset mentor and writer. Rowan has been building and growing-million dollar businesses and high-performing teams for nine years. Her stores and teams have won trips, awards, and she has built strong relationships and support within her community. But before all of that, she was a shy, loner, super-into-80s-films, fantasy, and writing her own Alexander Dumas fan fiction (traits that didn't earn her very many friends.) In fact, the bullying gave her a severe stutter and she could not speak in front of others. In order to leave the situation, she put her head down into books, got to work, and enrolled in her first college course at 15 years old.
Now her mission is to empower multi-passionate, messy-bun creatives through coaching and education so they can break up with toxic relationships (starting with their inner-mean girl), discover their self-worth and purpose, and have fulfilling and joyful lives.
