In today's episode, we dive into the compelling journey of Dr. Nona Djavid, who moved to the US at 16 and transformed her early struggles into a flourishing career by embracing entrepreneurship from a place of abundance rather than scarcity.
Journey from Scarcity to Abundance: Nona shares her initial steps into entrepreneurship, which were motivated by necessity and scarcity. She recounts her experience of starting her first business as a tutor and how it led her to open a successful chiropractic practice. However, despite its success, Nona faced burnout fueled by a fear-based mindset. This realization prompted her to delve into neurology and ancient wisdom, reshaping her approach to business into one driven by joy and abundance.
Pivoting and Finding New Paths: Both Nona and host Shannon explore the emotional and practical aspects of pivoting in their careers.

Nona shares insights from teaching quantum leaps, helping others navigate significant changes in their lives and careers.
Addressing Money Mindset Challenges: The conversation shifts to the common financial challenges retreat leaders face, focusing on money mindset and its impact on business success. Nona introduces practical tools such as journaling and mental rehearsals to help shift perceptions of self-worth and financial potential. They discuss strategies for overcoming mental blocks to embrace a healthier relationship with money.
Nona's Retreats: Unique Experiences, Cultural Significance: Nona details her approach to designing retreats that offer transformative experiences with a strong cultural component. She explains her preference for non-all-inclusive models that allow participants to engage more deeply with the local community, enhancing both the cultural significance and the economic benefits to the area.
Aligning Energy with Personal Passions: The discussion concludes on the topic of aligning one's energy with their passions, both in personal and professional realms. Nona and Shannon talk about the importance of being present and making conscious decisions that resonate with one's true desires, which they agree is crucial for personal satisfaction and business success.
Closing Remarks: Nona encourages listeners to connect with her on Instagram for additional resources and offers a free guide on quantum leaps for those who reach out to her directly.
