How are your feelings of unworthiness affecting your ability to achieve your dreams?
How can you move on from the past to become your greatest self?

Now Sean hosts the Quote of the Day podcast, a short show that features quotes from motivational talks, and he is getting ready to launch the Money Mind Academy to help people break free from old thought patterns to achieve financial success.

Sasha Tozzi is a recovery lifestyle coach, a Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery) instructor, a Reiki practitioner, and a writer. She helps individuals with physical and emotional sobriety, self-sabotage, and codependent relationships.
As a teenager, Sasha suffered from clinical depression and social anxiety. When she found alcohol, she thought it was the answer to all her problems. Later, she coupled her binge drinking with an addiction to cocaine, which led her to nights of blacking out, reckless behavior, and a shame cycle she could not escape.
Sasha eventually accepted the fact that she had a problem, and got help, but that wasn’t the end of her journey. After she got sober, she discovered she had deeper problems with food and codependency underneath it all.
Listen to Sasha’s empowering story of how she took ownership of her recovery and how she now helps other people to do the same.
