Reena Vokoun - CEO of Passion Fit - Episode 301

Episode 301 - Reena Vokoun - CEO of Passion Fit

“I am a recovering perfectionist…striving for personal and professional success.”

“There comes a point where you have to slow down…we burn ourselves out...it took me two years to have the courage to walk away…it was hard.”

“Pursue your passions. Be fit and the rest will follow.”

Without your health and well-being, you have nothing! That’s right! Maybe you have heard this adage before, but today, the amazing Reena Volkoun is going to ignite the fire inside of you to make positive lasting changes in your life. As a perfectionist with an insurmountable drive for success, Reena worked for many years in Silicon Valley for major companies such as Google and Reebok. However, soon after getting married and starting a family, Reena realized that being a “hands-on mom and a big career” was not possible. Does this sound familiar? Listen closely as Reena reveals how she was able to gather the courage to quit her job and dive head-first into her passion for improving mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Today, Reena is a trailblazer as the CEO of Passion Fit LLC, a TEDx Talk Speaker, author, coach, fitness instructor, corporate wellness leader, and so much more! It’s time to make your dreams a reality with Reena Volkoun!
