Do you sometimes feel like you're stuck in your day job, craving more out of life? Do you wonder how different your life would have been if you had pursued the artistic and creative side you knew you wanted when you were young?

Meet Antesa Jensen. She’s an American expat living in Denmark who for years had a very high-end job in the financial sector with a fat six-figure income. She also lived in a very high-end city neighborhood, and had all the trappings of the “good life.” She was a seasoned world traveller with 6 weeks of vacation each year and for most of us, that sounds like an amazing life. However, she craved a deeper fulfillment and she knew then that that job was not for her. So she decided to leave and start a new career as a coach. 

Today's episode is about the inspiration, dedication, hard work and resilience that Antesa used to create her dream career of coaching individuals and groups in exotic, retreat-like locations. Listen in as she speaks about why caring for yourself and wanting more because you deserve more, is something you shouldn't be ashamed of. Learn the reason why she left her comfort zone and how she handled the real struggles that came afterwards.

Quotes:

"We're using more energy to try to create a normalization of our lives than if we were to allow the creative expression to just come through effortlessly."

 "In that process of clarity, I had what I now call a sort of audacity to live in my more grandiose vision for myself. I knew I was supposed to have a bigger impact than what was available for me in a bank of 30,000 people” .

 "If you don't feel safe to share, to be generous because you have a story and you have whatever, it keeps the door sort of halfway open. I like to say if the door is halfway open, your sleeve is going to get stuck on the handle.”
