Have you ever experienced the worst thing that ever happened in your life turning out to be the best thing and a blessing?  My guest this week, Rhema Flowers, has authored a chapter in the book, The Turnaround:  How the Worst Thing Became the Best Thing.    In this episode, she shares the three main takeaways she learned while going through a very difficult time in her life with the loss of her beloved older sister and how that experience inspired her to create and live the life of her dreams.  Rhema is a vibrant, multi-passionate entrepreneur living her dream life on the island of Maui, where she runs a Wellness Center, teaches yoga, and hosts luxury retreats.  But her life didn’t always look or feel like a dream life.   Prior to moving to Maui, Rhema worked in the corporate world as a marketing director and, like many people who work in the corporate world, she experienced stress and burn-out and felt there was something more she needed to do with her life.    Around this time, Rhema discovered yoga, and has never looked back.  She became a yoga instructor and a partner in a yoga studio in Los Angeles.  She went to visit Maui at the beginning of the pandemic, with no thought of staying.  But the magic of Maui grabbed her soul and shortly thereafter, she made Maui her home.    Rhema is passionate about her vision and mission to inspire, empower and enroll women into their own vision of a healthy, vibrant, energetic lifestyle. She believes that the healing of the planet will be greatly influenced and made possible through the efforts of women and her calling is to help women build a healthy foundation for living the lives they want.    To that end, Rhema offers goddess-oriented wellness retreats on Maui where women can come to unwind, reset and balance their bodies, minds and spirits.  Her next retreat offering is in May.  Look for a link in the show notes for more information about attending.   Join us as Rhema shares about how Maui is recovering from the recent fires and devastation and the importance of helping to sustain and bring the “Aloha” energy of the island in our everyday lives.    Connect with Rhema: IG: @rhemaonmaui  Website: https://goddessretreats.info/ Please help us learn how to serve you better:  Use the link below to give us feedback on the podcast:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFZwdbrR90-bmMaVjxwQeIIEd6wrXb2L4exk8Tkn8eiqvbtg/viewform  Available for purchase on the website: Judith’s best selling book- Beyond the Box:  Lean Out, Break Free, Rise Up!    Musings and Meditations Legacy Audio Series- 9 meditations based on my writing, set to music  Get your FREE copy of my Seasons of A Life video  Connect with Judith: Judith’s email:  [email protected]  Join our private Facebook Group: Living in The New Beyond  Thanks to Ken Ashby, and Gopal Metro for our original theme music “Each of Us”  Connect with Ken at:  www.prosodycreativeservices.com Gopal’s email:         [email protected]  Please share this podcast with others, leave a review and follow us on Apple, Spotify and other podcast platforms.  It does make a difference and I really appreciate your support!             --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenewbeyond/message
