Imagine creating in your own body an immune system that resists disease … heals quickly and efficiently … and significantly slows your aging process. Now that's a conversation worth having. Enjoy!

#53 My awesome guest this week is Rhoda Malia., In her own words she was a 'self-development addict' for many years, but still making the changes needed in her life. Sound familiar? Rhoda has been part of the Let It In Academy for over 12 months.

When she first joined the program in October 2017, she was in debt, single, in a job she disliked, had digestive issues and was emotionally tense, anxious and stressed. Her story is a great example of how, with the right tools and mindset, Everything can turn itself around. In just 12 months, she's now clear of all debt, in a loving relationship, in a job that respects her ambitions to eventually transition into the entrepreneurial space and looking younger and fitter by the day. And most importantly, she feels emotionally stable, calm, happy and at peace most of the time. This new perspective has motivated her to spread the word for a tool (daily journaling) that helps her (and others) get into a headspace that welcomes in positive change. She believes that self care practises like journaling and her being part of a community like Let it In, helps people tap into their inner wisdom to find what they really want in life.
