Contact Info: [email protected] https://divorcecoachspecialist.com/ More about our guest... Vangelis Kalogirou. Vangelis is a dedicated spiritual seeker who spent much of his life following the expectations of others before choosing to live his own life, his way. For over 20 years, Vangelis never missed a workout, only the disruption of COVID changed that streak. That period of change led him to release the need for perfection and, for the first time, he became himself. Deeply spiritual and committed to daily inner work, Vangelis chose to see things from a different angle. Vangelis spent many years as a member of a church. That experience formed his current focus: exploring the dynamics of abuse from a different angle and this is what our discussion will be on today. Today Vangelis helps business owners leverage what they already know, clarifying strengths, simplifying practices, and creating sustainable, peaceful growth. His approach blends discipline, compassion, and spiritual insight to support lasting personal and professional transformation.
