    557 Courageous Vulnerability and Loving Yourself with Najwa Zebian

    "THESE MOUNTAINS THAT YOU ARE CARRYING YOU ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO CLIMB." - NAJWA ZEBIAN
    I started noticing Najwa's Instagram posts for months before I met her.
    Her voice and thoughts were so compelling, I felt like she was speaking the exact feelings of my heart.
    When I met her in Toronto to interview her, it was like meeting family.
    Najwa may have a completely different background than me, growing up in Lebanon and Canada as a Muslim woman, but she is so relateable that literally hundreds of thousands of people read her posts every day.
    I loved getting to know her story so much, I invited her to speak at the Summit of Greatness this year.
