Today I'm interviewing Sabrina Mabel Nicholson, Multimodal Legacy Coach for Empathic Leaders. Sabrina and I met through an online coaching program in 2021 and have been supporting each other's soul work ever since!

In addition, we discuss...
Healing the witch wound & coming out of the spiritual closet (this episode is literally a throat chakra healing)
Inner child dreams and desires that led to unhealthy relationship dynamics in the past
When your dream comes true but you find yourself asking "is this really what I want?"
What activated Sabrina into her Journey to Authenticity
Her self-discovery journey through many modalities, uncovering past lives, and unlocking spiritual abilities
You get to choose what identities you embody and which ones you release
The importance of self-acceptance, especially for the parts of ourselves we feel shame around or try to avoid the most
Her experience with addiction, shame, self-love, and relationships
