Leading the Shift: A Podcast to Activate Your Potential 
Episode 3 with Guest Vanessa Fernandes: Travelling Free Hugger

Vanessa Leigh White Fernandes has worked in the mental health field for the last 35 years. In that time, she has offered support and assistance to many different groupings of people. However, it wasn't until she stopped seeing others as broken, and she needing to fix them, that she started to see each person as a human being, just like herself. This began her on a journey of self discovery that has helped her to feel confident, and live her happiest, most peaceful life. In 2017 she travelled the United States on a hug tour connecting with people everywhere she went and documented the journey into a book The Hugging Army: An Experience of Connection. The Hugging Army, she she founded, serves as a collective of people actively helping bring more compassion into the world. One of her favorite ways to spend time is to offer free hugs in her local community of Scranton,  and beyond, and writes about her experiences. She is author of the book, The Hugging Army: An Experience in Connection. She lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania with her wife and three kitties.
