E206: Patricia Linder - Feel your own Brilliance
Special gift from Patricia to Back2Basics Listeners,  15-minute Human Design Chart assessment to discover your true potential so that you are set up to take the next step.  Book your session at:https://calendly.com/patricia-lindner/humandesignWho is Patricia in her own words:I help professional women and men achieve FREEDOM CUBED by letting go of anxiety, pain or stress so they can experience peace of mind, balance in their soul and ease in their body. As a multi-passionate Human Archeologist and Soul Alchemist I guide them on a path to MORE fulfillment, MORE alignment, MORE peace of mind and MORE JOY.  I'm here to help amazing souls discover their true (healing) potential so that they CAN understand, shift and create the life of their dreams without physical or mental blocks. Why you should listen to me: Many years ago, I still had this stunning leadership position and an incredible career as a teacher and teacher’s trainer. I could deal with tough decisions, organize and deliver and literally go to the limits. But I didn't see that I was limitting my own potential. It was not until my body started telling me in a very painful way (mentally and physically) to listen to my heart’s and soul’s desires that I woke up. I decided to dig deeper and invite possibilities beyond the tried and tested. I asked myself how life can even get better than that even so I didn't know what that looked like. I have been working on my own liberation on a mental, emotional, phyisical and spiritual level for over 13 years. As a result of my personal evolution I dared to start a new and deeply fulfilling chapter in life. My mission is to disrupt patterns of shame, guilt and fear and help extraordinary women expand into their fullness. I am all about inner and outer GROWTH!I absolutely feel the needs and wants of my clients and I am able to see the bigger picture. That’s why I invite them into my magical world of getting out of their heads and into their hearts so they can heal themselves when nobody else can.My anti-coaching, unorthodox approach awakens all the senses and works on many levels. Find Patricia in Social Media at:Social Media:INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/patricialindnersoulalchemist/https://www.instagram.com/healingartsandpoetry/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricialindner/Idea Lab Community And Freedom Cubed Group:https://bit.ly/Freedomcubed

In New York City, she wrote, performed, and produced her critically acclaimed one-woman show, produced and hosted a comedy open mic for over 7 years, and produced and hosted a weekly stand-up show.In 2015 Leanne moved to California where she continued producing shows, opened an online store, and co-hosted a podcast. While it was fun, she missed the opportunities and connections that New York offered her as an aspiring artist. Because everything in California is so spread out, Leanne found herself spending more time on the freeway than on stage.In August 2019 BC (before COVID), she began using existing technologies to host an online open mic. This allowed her to spend more time honing her skills and less time struggling with time and money. After a few months, her regularly participating comedians suggested that she charge them for the service. It was then that she knew she was onto something.Leanne has earned a Master of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (MIE) degree at the University of California, Irvine.
