Summary

This week on A Voice and Beyond we welcome Shirin Etessam, who is an entrepreneur, author, as well as, a transformational speaker. Shirin has built a massive reputation as a seasoned and highly successful media executive and has produced numerous films, original television series, and specials.

In this episode, Shirin begins by sharing her personal story about a pivotal event that upended her life in 2013 that led to a realization that everything in her life was internally broken, even though she had checked off all the external markers and accomplishments that had been set by others. Shirin explains that we are taught, at an early age, that to be worthy, to find true happiness, and to be “somebody,” you have to accomplish many things, but those accomplishments may not bring you true satisfaction and joy. Shirin describes the journey which inspired her to write her book FREE TO BE: A Six-Week Guide to Reclaiming Your Soul, released last June 20th. It guides the reader through her six-week program to rewrite their personal story.

The lessons found in the book are those that she has used with major corporate clients including Apple, ABC, BBC, Virgin, Intel, Facebook, and many more. This interview is peppered with moving personal stories, as well as, scientific-based studies to help us understand how we can move from a place of living to the expectations of others to living a more satisfying and fulfilling life on our own terms. This is a beautiful and candid interview with Shirin Etessam.
