In this powerful and soul-stirring conversation, Kelly Roach sits down with bestselling author and thought leadership coach Sara Connell for a raw discussion about what it means to be a true thought leader in today's world; one where most people are unknowingly outsourcing their thinking.
Kelly and Sara unpack how to reclaim your mind, restore your creativity, and reconnect with divine intelligence in an era dominated by distractions, nosie, and artificial intelligence.
You'll learn how to reprogram your inputs, listen to your divine downloads, and reignite your creativity so that your voice, your work, and your business reflect your truest self and God-given purpose.
This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders who feel burned out, creatively blocked, or disconnected from their original spark.
