S5 Ep. 3: Breakdown to Breakthrough with Elle Adda
As Ryan Holiday says, "The Obstacle is the Way."
It's true. We all have obstacles in our lives, and the ones that seem insurmountable are often the ones that make us grow.
Elle Adda is no different. She's had her fair share of obstacles along the way, and she's overcome them with grace and strength. Let's dive into her story of 'breaking down' due to mental and emotional stress, unresolved past trauma, self-limiting beliefs, and lack of self-worth. Her healing journey to self-awareness is the 'breakthrough' that took her down the path to complete health, strength, and happiness while contributing to the world.
Catch Sanaiyah Gurnamal at the National Mental Health Summit 2022 on Oct. 26, from 3-4pm at Samsung Hall, SM Aura Premier. For more information, visit findhope.mindyou.com.ph
