We had the good fortune of connecting with Johnene Breaux and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Johnene, how do you think about risk?

I think taking risk is an important factor when it comes to my life/career. The role risk taking has played is that it keeps me on track whether it’s a good or bad outcome. Also no matter the type of risk I’ve taken, all of them has promoted growth in my life in some type of way because I always learn something from taking the risk.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I think what I am most proud of is having the opportunity to create and live a life of peace, freedom and wonderful experiences. I got to where I am today by believing in myself and nurturing/using my gift. It was not easy, there were some moments of ease, but overall it takes a lot of courage and determination. I overcome my challenges by embracing them and trusting that whatever the outcome is, will help me with what lies ahead. Lessons I’ve learned along the way is to trust your highest self and don’t give up too soon because if you give up too soon you will never know what you’re giving up. I want the world to know that my goal is to inspire and motivate people to really try to create the life of their dreams. 

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were in town we would probably go to a bar to get drinks and then maybe to a mall and nice restaurant of course and a dispensary lol. One of the most interesting places I’ve been was Sweden. The people were so kind and just overall a great place. It was also cool to learn that it only stayed dark for like 3 hours then the sun was back out.
