Gissele Taraba never imagined her lifelong dream to work in Canada's child welfare system would end in burnout. And she certainly didn't expect to start a new career, become an author, become a podcaster, and be in the process of making a documentary. And she really really didn't think all would be around the ideas of self love and compassion. But here she is, and she is thriving.

Through her personal discovery of her lack of self love and lack of compassion for herself, Gissele has dedicated her life to helping others discover the power of meeting those challenges head on. Whether it's just sitting in acknowledgment of your imposter syndrome, coming to the table to resolve conflicts in a relationship, or filling your own cup so that you can help someone else (if they are ready) out of a mess, you do not want to miss this episode.
