Happy 2024! We’re excited to kick off the new year by welcoming Chani Nicholas back on the podcast, and this time she unearths the insecurities and hardships that developed her into the powerhouse she is today. Nicholas is an LA-based astrologer and author of the New York Times bestselling book, You Were Born For This. Her app, CHANI, now helps more than one million people understand their birth charts, navigate real-time astrological changes, and discover their life’s purpose. In this conversation, Krista and Chani unpack the idea of suffering, and how it ultimately shapes who you are and how you can best serve in this lifetime. Chani talks about her own struggles feeling lost, alone, and, frankly, like a loser for a long time before finally owning her unique gifts. If you’re struggling right now, Chani reminds us of one unshakeable truth: hardship is inevitable, but it makes us more of who we were born to be. We also talk about: Equitable employee benefits Creating wellness within your company What to focus on in your 20s How suffering can lead to growth Forming a relationship with change Having children in your 40s 2024 astrological forecast Resources:  Website: https://chaninicholas.com/ Instagram: @chaninicholas Sponsors:OSEA | Head to oseamalibu.com and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off.LMNT | Get 8 single serving packets FREE with any LMNT order.
