Lynn brings a unique perspective to the table, drawing from her rich background in finance and her transition to holistic practices. She discusses how midlife can be a pivotal moment for introspection and realignment with one's values, particularly highlighting how energy work like Reiki and the creation of her Oracle deck have influenced her personal and professional transformation.
