Description
Real People. Real Stories. Real Vulnerability. The CVD podcast features stories of how people from around the world have gotten to where they are today. We strip down what we can see about them online to really understand what happens behind the scenes. We talk about the challenges, triumphs, traumas, and experiences that have shaped who they are today and contributed to what they've accomplished. We dive deep into understanding how they've embraced discomfort and vulnerability throughout their lives, how they've built the confidence to live authentically, and what advice they have for someone that either feels stuck in life or simply wants more. These episodes are meant to inspire you to build the life of your dreams one step at a time and to show you that you're not alone in your struggles. No matter where you are in life, even if you feel totally stuck, you can take a step forward and change anything you want by leaning into discomfort and vulnerability. The only way to be comfortable is to be uncomfortable first.
