From the childhood trauma of living through a cult-like experience, to now being married with 2 kids and running her own successful Podcast Management Company...
This week’s guest is an inspiration for just how possible it is to get out, start out and eventually stand out in life and business!
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking to my guest Alesia Galati owner and founder of Galati Media.
Alesia’s younger years were shaped by a Mom, who in her attempt of trying to overcome her struggles with addiction, depression and anxiety - took Alesia and her siblings down a path to living in a fundamentalist Christian cult. The restrictions and lack of control robbed them of their ability to feel empowered, build skills for life outside “the camp”, and also made it hard to leave.
Although her journey has not been easy, every step has prepared and led her to be the remarkable human being and business owner that she is today!
I’m so happy to connect with her in this episode and to share her powerful, insightful, and inspirational story with you.
This is a longer episode, so you might want to listen all at once or enjoy it in smaller chunks or pieces!
Whether you’re trying to get out of a situation, or start out in a new relationship, or stand out in your business...
I hope you walk away from this conversation with a golden nugget or two, that you can apply to create your own empowered life!
