They have actively chosen to be dead to me.”“If anybody finds out I’m questioning the faith, I’m essentially socially dead.”More about LindyLindy is the Founder and Team Facilitator at the Olive Leaf Network which you can find out more about here:Website: https://oliveleaf.network LinkedIn: Olive Leaf Network LinkedIn. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theoliveleafnetwork Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olive_leaf_network/You can get involved with the podcast onlineTo try out our resilience course: https://www.challengesthatchangeus.com/surviving-2-thriving-course1On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: [email protected] check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.com If you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website:http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.auFor her other business you can find it through the websites: www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au Hosted on Acast.
