In this week’s episode of The Resiliency Factor Podcast, I speak with my friend and fellow podcaster, Terri Kozlowski. Terri is a proud Native-American Warrior of an Athabascan; Tlinglet Tribe - Raven Clan. She has been on a journey of rediscovering her true path in life, one of joy and love. Terri has learned to transcend the fear that the egoic mind kept bringing to the forefront of her life.
She is now a successful Soul and Life Coach whose mission is to inspire others to master their fear. Terri earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a student of A Course & Miracles. She received her certification in Life Coaching from The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology.
Her forthcoming book, Raven Transcending Fear, is a memoir about overcoming sexual abuse, abandonment and discovering her authentic self, which is due out in March of 2021. Terri has also been a successful blogger since January of 2019 and launched the Soul Solutions Podcast in August of 2020.
