Embracing Vulnerability & Grace — Beth Haun's Journey From Performance to Acceptance

In this Inspirational People interview on the Share Life podcast, I'm speaking with Beth Haun. 

Beth and I have been through hills and valleys together and has been a vital part of my own story. She was originally a client of Noodlehead Marketing who became a team member and an influencing leader of our marketing business. She was also a participant in the Noodlehead Marketing transition into intentionality, a learner of constructive development theory via the Leaders Lyceum, a part of the Win Without Pitching transition, involved in the Island Story adventure, and a co-creator of IDEMA; a framework for capturing and sustaining ideas. I'm grateful for the impact Beth has had on my life and look forward to her sharing her life with you today.

Check out the conversation below, where Beth shares her story and the lessons learned along the way.
