    Elise Arndt is a multidisciplinary artist whose talents run the gambit from acting, singing, and dancing, to teaching and coaching. We discuss her navigating the winding road of life as a performer in NYC and now LA, being a teacher and mentor, and her journey with sobriety (or, rather, sober curiosity). Elise continues to make a positive difference in the lives of her students and colleagues as she consistently practices what she preaches.

    LiL: 11 | Transforming Fear into Faith with Elisha Cleaver

    Explicit

    Join me as I chat with the remarkable Elisha Cleaver. Elisha is an extraordinary individual, she is truly the embodiment of strength. I met Elisha this past summer during a Reiki training course, and the more I learned about Elisha’s story, the more I admired her. She views everything optimistically, has the most positive energy, and makes everyone feel considered in her presence. To know she has overcome significant challenges in her life and continues to transform her fear into faith is even more incredible. She is a true trailblazer. I hope you find this episode as inspirational as I did. Enjoy! Interested in some Self-Love Coaching where you can learn how to be a bit kinder to yourself?
