Welcome to The Mindful Fire Podcast where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host, Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here.
On today's episode of the podcast. I'm joined by my new friend, Jessi Shuraleff.
Jessi spent 13 and a half years at Google leading and coaching sales teams using authenticity value-based selling and storytelling to drive impact in revenue for her customers.
She's worked with brands both big and small across numerous industries, including retail technology, real estate and B2B.
She recently left the corporate world and has taken the leap into solopreneurship as the founder of the podcast and community, This Is My Truth.
Creating building and maintaining relationships is at the core of who she is and authenticity, vulnerability and storytelling have been the cornerstone of her skill set to get where she is today as a leader, podcaster and mom.

And while she didn't leave Google overnight, it began a process of self discovery that included therapy, coaching, self exploration, and just really untangling a lot of the go go, go culture that she had internalized growing up in this society and building a career within Google, which I can tell you is quite the go go, go type of place.
We explore a lot around this idea of the go go, go culture, where we all are taking on so much. So many projects, parenting, working, taking care of our houses, taking care of our family members, trying to fit all these things into our life and all the while forgetting to take care of ourselves and forgetting to listen to ourselves and asking the question, what do I need right now?
And we both share how the practices of mindfuln
