Shirin Eskandani: Whole-Hearted Living, Self-Sabotage and the True Value of a Coach.

Shirin is a life coach, public speaker, and writer who specializes in mindfulness and mindset
work. She has been a featured wellness expert on the Today Show and Cosmopolitan
Magazine. Certified by the International Coach Federation, her holistic approach to
transformation is influenced by her background in guided meditation, spirituality, and the arts.
Prior to building her successful coaching business, she was an award-winning opera singer,
performing at Carnegie Hall and The Metropolitan Opera. She is the co-founder of Brown Girl
Brunch and has been a featured speaker at ALT Summit, Well Summit, the Assemblage, and
Soho House.
We go deep in this episode (as we do in most episodes). We unpack:
● The value of coaching is (why bother getting a coach?)
● The tension between making it more accessible for people & still requiring they get “big
skin” in the coaching game
● What it means to live whole-heartedly
● Letting go of the “if only’s”
● The harm of white wellness bubbles & how to get better as white people
● What courage looks like to each of us in OUR lives
● The myths around the fulfillment of “goals” making us happy (and this is coming from a
opera singer who performed in Carmen at the Met)
