Shifting Away From Internal Conflict with Adele Spraggon
Adele Spraggon is an award-winning author, thought leader, international trainer, and a fearless speaker. Her book “Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment” is making waves for its powerful message of inspiration and hope and transforming how people are setting and achieving their goals. After years in the personal development industry, Adele realized that she was struggling herself to meet her goals – and when she got real with her clients, many of them were as well. She went back to school to learn everything she could about how people make decisions and she realized that the vast majority of self-help advice was coming from the wrong operating instructions. We talk about the difference between habits and patterns, balancing the hemispheres of the brain to avoid internal conflict, and so much more.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: lytyoga.com/blog/category/podcasts/Resources:adelespraggon.comRead: Shift: 4 Steps to Personal EmpowermentInstagram: @lara.heimannRedefining Yoga is produced and published by Crate Media.
