#137 Embracing Your Sensitivity as a Superpower

Today I interview Pascale Cook-Fernandes, who struggled with feeling stifled and not having a voice in her generation, where children were expected to "be seen and not heard".In high school, Pascale faced teasing because of her uniqueness, but found her voice and confidence when she auditioned to be the drum major in marching band, despite usually trying to "shrink down" and hide. This experience taught her the rewards of taking risks and putting herself out there.Pascale's sensitivity, once criticized, is now a superpower she embraces, allowing her to speak up for the greater good. She has learned to balance being soft-spoken with projecting her voice powerfully when needed.Overcoming her early struggles, she now empowers women entrepreneurs to turn their life experiences and lessons into profitable businesses aligned with their authentic selves.__________________Pascale Cook-Fernandes has a multifaceted background aimed at empowering women to discover their clarity and potential.
