93: Adversity to Advantage - Sam's Story with Petra Velzeboer

Petra Velzeboer is a therapist, facilitator and executive coach. Through depression, anxiety, alcohol dependence and suicidal thoughts she reached her rock bottom at 25 and decided she had a choice: to learn how to truly live or to end her life now. Over a decade of experimenting on strategies for success and learning everything about mindset and psychology, her life is 100% different than what it might have been! Her goal is to teach others who are near their rock bottom, to help them learn the fast track for improving their lives! <a href="https://imgur.com/68HdikP"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/68HdikP.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> Petra and Adversity to Advantage Connect on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/petra-velzeboer/) Adversity to Advatange Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/3aeOVpgH3FPcEGnbB9QVLl?si=vyUccu6pRhuwzcPjJykQAg) Listen Notes (https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/adversity-to-advantage-by-petra-velzeboer-eaO362gizp_/) Website (http://petravelzeboer.com/podcast) Twitter (https://twitter.com/PetraVelzeboer) ABOUT THE HOST My name is Sam Harris.
