You Can't Heal When You Hide with Serena Mastin S01 EPS555

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Serena Mastin. A true driver of overcoming self-limiting beliefs as she humbly climbed the ladder of success, Serena has overcome extreme obstacles,  personally and professionally. She started her life in witness protection and nine different foster homes, leading to teenage addiction and homelessness, and most recently walked through the devastation of her husband's suicide. Serena has faced unimaginable adversity. Yet, despite her challenges, she found a real sense of purpose along the way. The most inspiring part of her story is her strength, resilience, and authenticity. She brings a wealth of knowledge and insight from industries across the corporate landscape. With over twenty years of  experience climbing the corporate ladder, Serena’s career has included being knocked down, and climbing back to executive leadership roles with Fortune 500 companies, before carving her own path by founding  Pulse Marketing Inc. in 2013. In addition to being a visionary entrepreneur, Serena recently published her first book, Exposed: You Can't Heal When You Hide, a memoir recounting her life story in harrowing detail. In the book, Serena discusses her experiences with assault, addiction, homelessness, infidelity, mental health, and, ultimately, profound healing.  In this episode we discuss trauma, gratitude, business, emotional intelligence and mindset.   Website - https://serenamastin.com/                 https://pulsemarketingteam.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/heartfeltstories2023/        https://www.instagram.com/pulse_marketing/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/serenamastin/ The Book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0645690236?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_47P4HNPAQ4XBR352DP4Y_1   In this episode you will learn: 1.
