We don’t often have interviews on IGNTD Recovery Secrets so you know when we do, they’re somebody special! I’m very lucky today to be joined by Lauren Handel Zander, co-founder and chairwoman of the Handel Group. Lauren has spent over the last 20 years coaching thousands of private clients from entrepreneurs to couples to politicians to Grammy-winning musicians and Fortune 500 CEOs. Her company, the Handel Group, is a renowned executive life coaching company that is dedicated to improving the personal and professional lives of others. Her groundbreaking methodology, The Handel Method, is supported by top educators and psychologists and has been developed and taught in over 50 major universities and institutes of learning.
As you know, through IGNTD, I want to expose you all to as many different ways of doing ‘the work’ as possible. We are not all wired the same and we cannot all follow the same script to happiness and self-fulfillment. We’re all just out here manufacturing our own tool kits and learning what works best for us. And in today’s episode with Lauren, she provides a refreshing look at addiction, recovery, and finding light through recognizing and acknowledging your darkness. She also shares many brilliant nuggets of wisdom on how to discover what works best for you as well as a peek into some of the amazing work she is doing around life coaching and overcoming struggles related to shame and darkness.
I hope you all tune in for this one to hear her refreshing perspective on all things addiction, recovery, and self-improvement!
