Show Notes:
To break the ice, I asked Peggy…If you could go back in time with whom would you like to spend a day with?
She responded, “I would love to spend the day with Albert Einstein. I think the combination of science and spirituality that comes out of his works is so expansive. I think he gets to so many truths that are missing in our world today that we need to look back and reflect on.”
Some of the questions I asked Peggy:

How can someone re-invent themselves as you did?
You were loving what you were doing at one point. When that passion turns into something that cause you to feel stressed out, what’s next?
