Welcome to the eighth Spotlight episode – where I sit down with brilliant, purpose-driven entrepreneurs (many of whom I have the honor of working with!) and we pull back the curtain for some serious REALTALK about what it takes to follow your heart and birth your big ideas. Are you ready for this?
Meet Vivian
Shining in the Spotlight is the strong, talented and inspirational Vivian Mcgrath and I can’t wait to share her story with you. We started working together earlier this year, in my Small Group Coaching program, and it’s been so wonderful to witness her transformation as she evolves her work more online.
Vivian is a highly esteemed television producer and has recently taken the big and courageous leap of sharing her story of surviving domestic abuse. She’s written a book called “Unbeatable” that she’s currently self-publishing, has a successful blog with articles that have been featured on the Daily Mail & Tiny Buddha AND she’s developing amazing online courses to help support individuals who are going through or have experienced domestic violence. This woman is quite the creative force!
I am so honored to be a part of her journey as she births her ideas and much-needed support and wisdom into the world. I welcome you to soak in the deep truths and insights that Vivian shares so openly in this episode. I know you too will be inspired by her courage!
Watch this Spotlight episode to hear how Vivian has moved from producer to business owner and why she’s created online courses in her strong support for victims of domestic violence.
