Sober & Serene
Listen in to Yvonne’s story of immigrating to Canada as a teenager (over 30 years ago from communist Germany) and using smoking and drinking to cope and “fit in”; and her journey of healing and recovery to where she is now, helping others experience success and fulfillment – which she shares in her upcoming book due out November 2022.
Mission Accepted Podcast
Join Yvonne as she shares with Deborah, openly and honestly, how she navigated from having decisions made for her to being a decision maker. How she traded in her corporate heels for Merrills to backpack around Europe for a year. How she grew up, then grew down to discover who she really was, because she knew the work had to begin first with herself. She shares her story in the hopes that others will find their own. Maybe it’ll nudge them into reframing their priorities. Maybe it ultimately sets them loose into their freedom-life.
Seeking Freedom
Yvonne’s journey as a Freedom Seeker began at an early age in former communist Germany.
In our conversation, she shares frankly and deeply about her life experiences and how they shaped not only her desire to live free in every aspect of life but also how her journey led her to be a powerful guide for female entrepreneurs to create freedom through their businesses.
