And what happens when we reframe the way we give\u2014and take\u2014permission in our lives?   In this episode, I sit down with Maria Witkop, a former FBI agent, author of Reach: Rewriting the Story of Power, and a woman with an incredible story of resilience, intuition, and human connection.   I have to admit, I was more intimidated by this interview than any I\u2019ve done before. I mean, how do you sit across from someone trained to see right through people? But from the moment she walked into the studio, Maria defied every expectation I had.   Maria\u2019s journey from HR recruiter to federal agent wasn\u2019t just about shifting careers\u2014it was about shifting her own perception of what was possible. She shares how growing up in a home shaped by addiction gave her an innate ability to read people, a skill that would serve her as she navigated high-stakes FBI interviews and investigations.   Grab Maria\u2019s book, Reach: Rewriting the Story of Power, here: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reach-Rewriting-Story-Maria-Witkop\/dp\/B0BNH11ZS3   Connect with me on LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shannonhull\/ Get social and find me on Instagram     Thank you to my sponsors Cassie and Jeremy Johnson with Windermere Real Estate  Get to know them at their website    Leave a 5 star review on Apple Podcast and get a shoutout in the next few episodes!
