The moments that nearly break you are also the ones that build you. But only if you choose it.

In this episode of The Firestarter Podcast, Esther Wildenberg, Executive Consultant & C-Level Connector, speaks about what actually separates the people who turn their hardest chapters into their greatest power from those who stay stuck in them. Esther has lived this: sexual abuse, a near-death experience, years of recovery. She came out the other side with a methodology that helps others do the same, without waiting for a crisis to force the question.

We get into her soul-heart-mindset approach, the retreat work that transforms people in three days, and the 90-day business alignment program. The through-line in all of it: alignment isn't soft work. It's the strategy.

You don't have to hit rock bottom to ask the questions that change everything. Tune in to the full episode of The Moment That Nearly Breaks You Also Builds You With Esther Wildenberg.
