82: Becoming an Advocate for Yourself and Others with Mae Wagner

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have just a wonderful person that I want to introduce to  you all today. Mae, or Misty, Wagner is an author, Trauma Navigation Mentor/Coach, and host of her own podcast, ‘The Rainy Day Collective’. Hers is a unique story featuring some difficult chapters, learning to use her own voice, and standing up for herself and others, which has led her to become a passionate advocate for women’s issues, their stories and empowering others to journey forward with support. Mae’s journey has brought her to a place where she is a connector of people, with a mission to make life better for those around her and for generations to come, and she shares it here today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We begin, as with all guests, by finding out how Mae is doing in this post-2020 world, and then she embarks upon sharing the story of her journey to where she is now in life. Through her story, we learn of her mission in life, the battles she faced, learning to use her voice and the impact that moving to a fundamentalist household and its purity culture had upon her. She also recounts her journey of self-discovery, becoming a connector of people, wanting to be loved, being drawn to work that helps others, and how she shows up when she is healthy. Mae concludes our conversation with a glimpse into what she is up to these days and her thoughts on self-advocacy. Mae Wagner’s journey has been a long and, at times, difficult one, that has evolved into a life of serving others and sharing the wisdom and insight gained throughout her own story to enhance the stories of others.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t forget that I’m opening up enrollment for an Ascend Mastermind this month, which, in response to some valuable feedback I’ve received, will now be a six month program.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re a high achieving entrepreneur or high level professional who is ready to uplevel your health and well-being (mental, emotional, physical) while creating an
