Using Your Rebellious Streak to Get Ahead with Rebecca Hulse
About Rebecca’s Human Amplified Episode
Have you ever felt like traditional spiritual practices just aren’t helping you find peace? Are you hard on yourself because it feels impossible to do all the right things — like shop green, do yoga, drink enough water - and the list goes on.
Or does being told what to do by supposed authority figures make you want to do the opposite of what you “should” do just that much more? What about that list of people in your life who said you couldn’t or shouldn’t do something that you truly believe you were meant to do? I have a proverbial list like that, and today’s guest, Rebecca Hulse definitely does.
Rebecca is a New-Zealand based professional dancer turned author, speaker, and creative business coach.
She’s all about embracing your inner rebel as fuel to move forward in a way that works for you. Once she started doing this in her own life, she says she ended up being 10-years a head of schedule in terms of achieving her dreams and she had to answer the question, “now what?”
Well that’s possible for you too.
I just love how personal Rebecca gets on today’s episode. By the end of the interview, she creates a space for you to truly let go of anything bothering you from the day, and gives you actionable steps for how to move forward after that.
Essentially, from this episode, you’ll be inspired and empowered to live on your own terms, strengthen you peace, listen to your body and own knowing, and to make space in your day for creativity.
How awesome is that!
