On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

Join me in an enlightening conversation with Lynn Horan, an ordained clergy, interfaith theologian, leadership consultant, and advocate for female autonomy. Lynn's inspiring journey, overcoming emotional challenges and toxic systems, serves as a beacon for women seeking their spiritual voice and embarking on a path of self-growth.

In this episode, we delve into diverse topics, from movement therapy in Peru to unraveling mother-daughter conflicts within Protestant Christianity. Lynn shares valuable insights on the impact of body awareness on emotional well-being, encouraging you to reconsider your spiritual path and find tranquility amid life's complexities.
