My guest this week is Karyn Seitz. Karen found that on her journey in life she became almost addicted to spirituality and she lost herself for a time while searching for happiness. She eventually found her happiness by connecting with her Inner Self, her Higher Self and that's when she found a genuine relationship with her Higher Power whom she calls God. Karyn Seitz - The Happiness MentorAs a former spiritual healer, Karyn realized her clients were not getting better. She was frustrated that she could not deliver the results her clients wanted even though she was trying lots of different healing modalities and coaching techniques. Karyn knew she also wasn't getting the changes she wanted in her life. She secretly lacked confidence in her ability to change. Her adult life had stalled. In a fresh new search for answers, Karyn found the missing piece that would ultimately transform her life and her clients. There is something very profound in owning that she is the problem in her life. This awareness pushed her to confront herself and get serious about herself and her life. Karyn is now fulfilled in her life and teaches others the same journey she has taken to find herself and be happy.http://ahappinesscourse.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/karyn-seitz-431446110/email Karen for access to a unique mini-course on finding your happiness  at: info@karynseitz.com

I'm doing a solo episode this week to reinforce the urgency that if you are thinking of stepping more fully into a leadership role, please don't delay! Here are 10 reasons why the world needs you to step up. If you are a person who has spent a lot of time on self-development getting over addiction, alcoholism, surviving a traumatic childhood, and overcoming significant loss in your life, then my guess is that you already have the tools necessary to step into leadership to guide others in this life.If you want to learn more about how to step up to the next level of leadership then check out my Recovery@Work program at http://emergeleadershipacademy.com/recoverywork While you're there you can get on the newsletter list by taking the quiz or filling out the form for "7 Uncommon Steps to Getting a Promotion at Work".

Doug remained sober throughout these extreme ordeals and now shares his experience and practical approach to healing and transformation. Doug has started and owned a variety of businesses after working his way up through a computer software company to being a VP of Marketing. Halfway thought this meteoric rise to VP he was still a blackout binge drinker and totaled a car as the result of a DUI on a business trip.

My guest today is Tom Fay, the owner of Gambit Recovery. Tom has opened recovery houses in 6 states, has 11 years of sobriety and is clearly committed to helping others. He's been sober since September of 2010 and has quite a story to share.Tom struggled with addiction, self worth and shame and was in and out of detox and treatment centers 22 times over a 10 year period. After a serious suicide attempt and countless more detoxes, he landed in rehab in Mesa, Arizona where he was introduced a few men in detox that helped him to find purpose and meaning. Following their example and borrowing a bit of courage Tom made his first real attempt in recovery and joined a sober house to learn to live.

My guest today is Ann Hince. She grew up with an alcoholic mom and experienced a trauma that no one should have to go through. But eventually, it lead to great healing within her that changed her life in every way. Ann is here to share her story of transformation, hope and healing. From Inner Turmoil to Inner Peace. Ann started with little to no self-awareness (as an adult child of alcoholics) and now can put her awareness inside her body, and this technique has actually shifted the physical bone structure of her skull and she has grown 1/2 an inch as a 55 year old.When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions. She went further still by putting her awareness inside her body and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.You can reach Ann at her website:https://annhince.com/hannhince@gmail.comEFT – Emotional Freedom Technique – Gary Craig on YouTubePathway to Insight: Recapture your childhood (BOOK) By Ann Hince *************************************************************************Ready to make changes in your career and personal life?

My guest this week is Sarah Laurel, Born and raised in Philadelphia she founded a non profit organization called the Savage Sisters. Sarah got clean and sober and then she got to work and in just 4 short years has advocated for and helped many addicts, and Savage Sisters offer 5 sober living facilities for women. Since getting sober, Sarah has been reconnected with her two children, gotten married, opened five additional sober living facilities, and advocated for individuals in recovery statewide. She has also buried a partner, lost two best friends, and a cousin to overdoses and have been in trauma therapy to recover. She has positive hope for the future knowing the best is yet to come.When Sarah was thrown out a window, her hip and leg were broken and she was cut out of a dress she was wearing that had the word “Savage” printed on it. She looked up that word while in the hospital and the definition was “ferocious” and she decided to be ferocious in chasing sobriety in equal measure to how she chased her drugs and the Savage Sisters name was born.  Savage Sisters are looking for donations and you can give here:www.savagesisters.orgsarah@savagesisters.org**********************************************************************Ready to make changes in your career and personal life?

I believe that we all have a purpose in the world to reach our highest potential. As I coach and train leaders to get to that next level of personal and professional development, no one would disagree that the best way to do that is to fully and effectively use our brain and our mental capacity.However few people can name and properly explain what their metal faculties are, so I created a solo podcast episode to explain them too you.There are six of them and they are:·       Imagination·       Intuition·       Reason·       Perception·       Memory·       WillIt's not surprising that so few people understand how to use their brains properly. I learned this from Bob Proctor, a highly successful entrepreneur.When I went to college and began to understand how people learn a lot of it has to do with these higher brain functions. I also realized in my recovery that my mind is one of the most powerful resources and hindrances that I have, depending on how I use it. Now I teach others to use it too.No matter what stage of recovery you are in, it will help you perhaps to change your perception about how powerful your brain and you, are.We must learn to use all of the higher levels of thinking in the mind so that we can make the most of this one precious life that we have. As Bob Proctor says: “To achieve your goals and dreams and create the life you want, you must stop focusing on external facts—things you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell—even if you consider them to be “good.”That is thinking from the outside in and, at best, it limits you to what you've achieved in the past. At worst, it sabotages any chance you have at achieving your dreams.Instead, you've got to start thinking from the inside out. Thinking from the inside out is using your mental faculties, starting with imagining what you want and then using your will to keep your attention there.It's listening to and acting on your intuition, the small inner voice and seeing the good in everything.And it's creating future memories and continually seeing and feeling like the person you want to be.Each time you do those things, you plant your desire in the garden of your subconscious mind. With increasing repetitions, the image becomes fixed there.And then, by law, it's only a matter of time before it moves into form.”We are co-creators in this amazing world and now that we're in recovery, the skies the limit on what we can create.If you want help in meeting your goals with a coach this year, please get on my calendar to talk about it and see if we should work together. You can do that online by going to: maureenrg.youcanbook.me and pick a time that works for you.Happy New Year to each and every one of you! ******************************************************************Ready to make changes in your career and personal life?

My guest today is Kelvin Young, a certified Sound Healer, and owner of Kelvin Young, LLC. He is also a person in sustained recovery which means Kelvin hasn't used alcohol or any other drug to cope with his mental and emotional distress since March, 6th 2009. Kelvin received his recovery coaching training at CT Community for Addiction Recovery. and his Recovery Support Specialist (RSS) certification at Recovery University. (Advocacy Unlimited) He is also trained in Intentional Peer Support (IPS) and Emotional CPR. (eCPR) Kelvin wrote this poem in prison:"The Eyes Of A Silent Son" by Kelvin YoungLook into my eyes, and tell me what you see.Is it a lost soul with no control trying to be free?As I look into the mirror and stare into my eyes,I see all the anger and self-hate, hypocrisy and lies.I see resentment, frustration, embarrassment and pain,I see jail bars and fancy cars as I cruise down memory lane.I see the feelings I repressed, going back to childhood.I need to let go of all those feelings, and I would if I could.I see the hurt I caused to the ones I love the most.I see my brother on his wedding day as we celebrate with a toast.I see the good and the bad times that I experienced in my life.But it's so hard to let go of all that bitterness and strife.There's a sense of sadness when you look into my eyes.Like the ones you see when a close relative dies.But this death is not physical; it has to do with the soul.It's that morbid feeling we get when our spiritual energy is low.It's like nothing matters anymore, like that day when I was fired,Feeling depressed and weak, I can't sleep, but I'm so tired.I'm tired of all the pain, the hurt and the rain.From that cloud that keeps following me, sometimes I think I'm insane.But when I look out my window and see the beauty of the lake.It reminds me of good times, like when I was nine and things were fine.And with the sunrise I feel the presence of the Creator.When I look out my window, I see me in the beauty of nature.I'm a part of God's creation, nature and humanity!The loving spirit that's in Jesus is also in me!So I've learned to love myself and others just for who we are.And I learned about this love looking out my window with jail bars. www.kelvinbyoung.com ******************************************************************Ready to make changes in your career and personal life?
