Courage to Look Within - Kellee Marlow & Banni Bunting

SUMMARY

Did you grow up focusing on external accomplishments in defining who you are? Whether it is the next win, promotion or accolade, it is a continuous moving target even when you achieve it. Kellee talks with Banni Bunting, a national tennis champion and former FBI agent, about her shift from high-intensity, external drive to inner mindfulness that has changed her sense of self-fulfillment.
