56 | The Impact of Saying Yes with Keiko Munro

In this week’s episode, I talk with Keiko Munro.  Keiko’s energy and approach to life is inspiring.  She has a musician’s soul and while she tried for a few years to pour that energy into a marketing career, she realized that she was “building everyone else’s dreams” but not her own.  So after an eye-opening trip to Guatemala, she decided to try to figure out what success looked like for her and is now on a path to help others as an energy coach.  But more importantly, she found the things that drive her in her career and her life.More about Keiko Munro...Keiko Munro loves to break the rules. She's never been the one who obliges to a path laid down by someone else. Over the years, she has learned to truly take the driver's seat of her life - especially when it comes to her career path. Her love of music from a young age instilled an internal belief (and trust) that not everyone's path to success will look the same. She learned to dance through the doubts and naysayers and continued to believe in her purpose - even with a few obstacles along the way. What does bartending, digital marketing, e-commerce, yoga teacher training and energy coaching have in common? Keiko. Her passions extend wide and she embraces her evolution in all its facets. Her key to a fulfilled, expansive life is to remember each piece of this human experience is a gift and holds a lesson we can grow from.How to connect with Keiko...Instagram - @keikomunroInterested in working with Keiko...Lauren and Keiko's 90-day SYSH Group Coaching program is back!  Use "SHINE10" and you will receive 10% off the Slay Your Side Hustle  program for both the pay-in-full and payment-plan options.
