EP 106: Becoming Your Best Version with Maria Leonard Olsen

Sometimes life comes crashing down around you and you are forced to dig deep to find resilience you didn’t know you had.  Sometimes you are the driver of that change.  My guest this week is Maria Leonard Olsen and she has been on both sides of that equation.  In her 50th year she felt lost as she was going through empty nester syndrome, getting a divorce and entering into recovery for alcoholism.  That trifecta led her to therapy where she began to heal and eventually started to make active changes for a happier life.  She’s since written a book, produces a podcast and has been on the TED stage to talk about her journey in an effort to save others from thinking they are alone in their struggle.
