In today's episode, we speak with Finola Harrington. If the name sounds familiar it's because she appeared on our podcast previously in episode two. Then, she was here to speak about her organisation What About Us and the musical they are launching. Since then, Finola has set up her own life coaching business where she is helping several individuals live their best life. Finola believes our lifestyle has a huge impact on our own health and happiness and that illness is not a punishment for bad living. She has found coaching to be a powerful tool to help people address illness, change habits and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Finola has 30 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and because of this, she mainly focuses her coaching around fitness and nutrition Check out Finola's website to learn more: http://finolaharringtoncoach.com/ Follow Different Perspectives: https://www.facebook.com/Different-Perspectives-Podcast-104648078571206 https://www.instagram.com/differentperspectives_podcast/
In today's episode, we speak with Jenn Zen, an energy intuitive, hairstylist, and woman living the off-the-grid yurt lifestyle like our ancestors did many years ago. Jenn is a lover of nature and animals and spends her days living off the land and working on the land. She has found this way of living has greatly helped her mental wellbeing, helping her find clarity and peace. In addition, Jen also helps people on their spirituality journeys through things such as dance and meditation. This is why she chose to live in a yurt, so she could dive deeper into her own spirituality journey. We chatted about this unique way of living, how it has helped her and what a day in the yurt is like. Jen also shared her own spirituality journey with us and spoke about the importance of energy.

She also was so kind as to give both of us a reading.

Alan tries to help people see perspectives they may have struggled to see previously on their own. He has spent his life trying to figure out who exactly he is.
