Summary
Pamela Gold grew up on her family’s apple farm in upstate New York, graduated from Yale University, and then entered the business world in NYC where she was the point person on an IPO at the age of 24.
Leaving the workforce to start a family, she co-founded West Village Parents and went on to pursue her passion for fitness and wellness. It was through this pursuit that she discovered yoga, which connected her love of philosophy, science, psychology, and wellness and eventually led her to discover her life’s work – teaching inner peace.
That is this conversation we have a healthful chat about her work and her book Find More Strength: 5 Pillars to Unlock Unlimited Power and Happiness. Enjoy the value Pamela shares and increase the power and happiness in your life.
