Listen "On wanting more with 3x cancer survivor, Alyssa Burkus"
Episode Synopsis
We're all programmed to want more from life:
-more success
-more money
-more relationships
-more growth
more, more, more.
It's the human condition.
But what happens when you're facing your own mortality and suddenly, nothing is certain, and even wanting "normal" things feel like a big, daunting risk?
Today's guest had to face this exact scenario, and it shifted everything for her.
Alyssa Burkus is a thought leadership strategist, writer, and coach. She's the founder
of Shift Wisdom, a writing agency based near Toronto, Canada where she specializes
in helping business owners and corporate leaders build their authority and influence
through writing. Her writing program Get The Words Out helps people who want more
writing in their life learn to break through writer's block and build the routines that set
them on the path to being prolific. Alyssa is also a three-time cancer survivor and the mom of two teenage boys.
