In today's episode, the final episode for Empowered Living Zone, we will do a year in review, covering Dr. Arellano's journey with the  Empowered Living Zone Podcast.

Today's episode will include a round table discussion with Dr. Charleanea Arellano and her producers for She is Mother, Esteban Arellano, Eric Cheng, and Connie Smith.  Round table discussion will focus on the biggest lessons learned this year about podcasting, audience connection, and vulnerability.

Welcome to The Empowered Living Zone, where we explore self-empowerment, personal growth, and the journey to becoming our best selves.  In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Heather Browne about the power of communication. Dr. Heather has a doctorate in psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 27 years of experience. She is also the author of Speaking with the Heart and a TedX Speaker.   Dr. Heather helps people recognize the power of communication as one of our most important skills. Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do. This awareness has allowed her to help others effectively transform communication within themselves and all their relationship.
