Ep. 23 Take a Leap in Fabulous with Donna Brown

Season 2, Ep. 23

This episode is about Donna Brown’s Journey. Donna spent a lot of her life saying no to things and sitting on the sidelines watching life pass her by. She was stuck due to feeling unworthiness and not being good enough.


One day, after hours of her kids begging her to dive off a cliff, she said yes because she didn’t want to have one more regret in life. She came back out of the water with her fist in the air, yelling, I did it!! In that moment, her sense of pride, courageousness, and confidence made and instant and life-changing mindset shift. She learned there was a different way to be. She calls it, her Leap in Fabulous.


Donna is an intuitive energy coach, a Reiki Master, a teacher, an inspiring speaker, a crystal expert, and a five-time #1 bestselling author. Donna guides women who have put their dreams on the back burner while taking care of everyone else and are now ready to focus on themselves. Together they dust off their dreams, align them with who they are currently, uncover and discover what the next chapter looks like, and create the path to fulfillment and joy. She often supports empty nesters as she knows that space quite well.


Using her pendulum, she selects the exact right crystals for her clients. Her pendulum also assists them in seeking answers to life’s tough questions.
