Sentou, a genocide survivor and trauma coach, shares how she helps others navigate death, divorce, and dying using therapeutic practices—including music. Avva, an AI strategist, discusses her journey of immigrating to the U.S., overcoming language barriers, and building a values-driven B2B tech business. Together, they reveal the raw truths behind launching a business, the importance of integrity, and why just starting is the most powerful step you can take.

    🔥 Key Highlights:

    Sentou's Healing Journey: From genocide survivor and child war refugee to trauma-informed coach helping others through life’s darkest transitions.
