Dr. Miriam Zylberglait (Dr Z) talks about the 3G Cycle of Life. And it's the secret to achieving joy, meaning, and wellbeing. Dr. Z is originally from Peru where she went to medical school and practiced medicine for almost 10 years. Then, she came to the U.S in 2011, leaving her parents, her friends, and her job as an academic physician to follow the love of her life. Next, in the U.S., Dr. Z had to start from zero. Ultimately she learned a new language, and repeated her residency and fellowship. During these years, while being in her 40s, she rounded the hospital with her pregnant belly, twice. And she says it was the best experience ever. Because she was never alone. Her baby's kicks were the best reminder of why she needed to continue pursuing her dreams. Now, she's fortunate to have a supportive husband, parents, sister, friends, and two wonderful little boys that help her find harmony between her personal and professional life.    In this episode, we talk about the 3G cycle of life philosophy. Life is not linear but cyclic. And, different cycles of our lives are interconnected. And each cycle needs to be close for us to be able to go to the next one. Furthermore, all the cycles have the same basic components that represent the 3G: Goal, Grit and Grow. In addition, these cycles are affected by positive and negative catalysts that may accelerate and facilitate or delay our progress throughout the cycles.    Resources Mentioned:    Dr. Z's  website  - Order her book The 3G Cycle of Life Dr. Z on LinkedIn Connect with Emily on LinkedIn  Emily Harman Watch Emily's Webinar on Energy Leadership Positive Intelligence Coaching Program  Onward Accelerator Coaching Program Onward: Twitter | Onward Movement Facebook Group | YouTube Buy Emily's Best Selling Book Step Into the Spotlight Schedule a Complimentary Coaching Call with Emily Music by Soul Pajamas Enjoyed the show?

Dr. Hillary S. Webb talks about shamanism, stand-up comedy, and the adventure of being alive. She's a cultural anthropologist and mixed-media storyteller with a focus on theater anthropology and cross-cultural perspectives on human consciousness. And, Hillary describes her work as exploring how we make meaning of this wonderful, terrible, ecstatic, startling, and often absurd world in which we live.  Growing up, Hillary found herself falling in love with the human condition. Consequently, the more she saw, the deeper she wanted to go into understanding it. And, it was this impulse that led Hillary to earn an undergraduate degree in Journalism from New York University, an MA in Consciousness Studies from Goddard College, and a PhD in Existential-Humanistic Psychology from Saybrook University. Hillary values, “pulling back the blinders." because she wants to understand and engage with the world in the purest possible way. And, to do that, she aims to expand her perspective to try to see the world for what it really is, not just the limited view we have as an individual. Hillary is interested in how people around the world address the complexities of being human.  Furthermore, to what degree do we differ and in what ways are we the same in our existential concerns. And how do we seek to relieve them? What experiences—and the belief systems that arise out of them—help us make meaning of our lives and feel less alone in the universe? These are some of the questions motivating Hillary's life and work. She lives to write. Writing is part of creating an adventurous life she LOVES living! And her four books recount some of what she discovered when she went looking for answers. A professor at Goddard College in Vermont, Hillary is the author of four nonfiction books including the most recently published, The Friendliest Place in the Universe: Love, Laughter, and Stand-Up Comedy in Berlin. When not lurking around the stand-up comedy clubs of Europe, she lives in Maine with her husband. Resources Mentioned:  Dr. Webb's website  - check out her books!

Suzanne Falter is spreading the word about self care for extremely busy people. She used to think of self-care as a special treat — something she only bought herself occasionally. And, back then it took the form of a massage or a much anticipated spa day. Also, she always told herself she couldn't afford it. Because, she had children to take care of, mouths to feed and a business to run. Therefore, self-care seemed like a low priority and a big, fat indulgence. Then Suzanne's life fell apart. She lost her business. Her marriage ended, And she moved to the other side of the country. Then, her 22 year old daughter suddenly died. That is when Suzanne discovered that true self-care doesn't require untold sums of money. What it requires is willingness. Furthermore, self care is all about learning to listen deeply and then trusting the answer that comes, no matter what. Now, Suzanne hosts the Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women podcast, and is the author of multiple self-help titles including The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care. Her essays have appeared in SELF, More, Fitness, New Woman, and The New York Times, as well as O. What is being ‘extremely busy' and costing you? Listen and learn the 5 basics of self-care, how to keep great self-care going in your life, and more.

A long time ago, Jeff Romig was asked a simple question: “If you could say one last thing to your dad, what would it be?” And, Jeff only needed four words: Don't. F*cking. Kill. Yourself. Jeff Romig spent his career learning the ins and outs of community as a journalist, political strategist, nonprofit executive, and fundraiser. And, through each line of his resume, he's fought a daily battle against his own mind. Furthermore, Jeff wrote Don't F*cking Kill Yourself: A Memoir of Suicide, Survival, and Stories That Keep Us Alive to remind us that the perfect LinkedIn profiles we browse through every day don't tell the whole story. Consequently, in opening up about his life, Jeff hopes that people who share similar struggles will see their own value, push through their dark moments, embrace resiliency, and stay alive. Jeff experienced an abundance of healing through the writing process, especially in respect to his relationship with the trauma of his dad's suicide. But, more than anything, he discovered – and now is rooted in – three key tools that help him navigate his mental illness and his darkest moments of suicidal ideation. 1. Reduce the Stigma by Sharing: Creating conversation and sharing about suicidal ideation is critical, not only to keep the ideas in your mind from turning into pure poison, but to help reduce the stigma on having these conversations publicly with others whether in person or through social media. 2. People, Passions & Experiences: To get through the darkest moments, is to root oneself in the people, passions, and experiences that bring joy and keep oneself alive. These are the stories Jeff shares in DFKY. When you can connect with these memories, you find that you're given the perspective needed to get out of your own head. 3. Don't. F*cking. Kill. Yourself. - “If I stay alive, I can do anything.”: Keeping this thought at the forefront of your mind leads you into remembering the first two tools, and, is the most powerful thing to remember in your darkest moments.

Barry Magliarditi talks about tapping into the potential of our heart in this Onward Podcast episode. Barry was a self-proclaimed “absolute mess,” but you'd never guess that. Because, to the outside world he was a successful entrepreneur who mentored thousands of business owners and scaled hundreds of businesses to seven figures. But really, every area of Barry's life was circling the drain. Drug use, depression...he felt completely worthless and alone. Until he analyzed the relationship that he had with himself. Entrepreneurs, you're no stranger to the grind that it takes to launch your business. And sometimes, that hustle can turn into living a life that you don't recognize - like it did for Barry.  Ultimately, Barry started healing his relationship with himself through self-love and being guided through his intuition. And with each practice, his happiness and success expanded.  Consequently, his new Best-Selling Book book Sex, Drugs, and Radical Self-Expression is a must-read for entrepreneurs on how to practice self-care and, by doing so, have a flourishing life and business. And, speaking into topics around spirituality, intimacy, vulnerability and plant-based medicines, the book acts as a gateway and permission slip, supporting others to live their most authentic expression of life regardless of their shortcomings, background or social circles. Finally, listen to this episode and learn about turning adversity into opportunity, vulnerability and its superpower, and tapping into the potential of our heart.

My guest, Geralyn Gendreau, shares how to uncover your core wound and discover your true self. A licensed psychotherapist since 1995, Geralyn is a playful, soul-provoking life coach who believes one of the keys to happiness is being able to laugh at yourself.  Furthermore, a master story-teller, Geralyn speaks to the core of what it means to be human, offering provocative insight into our current dilemma. Also, as a direct result of an unusual near death experience, Geralyn became keenly interested in the conditions that lead to optimal human development. And, she's the author of JUNGLE JEAN, the biography of her mentor, Jean Liedloff, who traveled into the pristine regions of the Venezuelan rainforest back in the 1950s. Consequently, as a direct result of having worked alongside Liedloff for fifteen years, Geralyn's worldview traces back to the Stone Age. Finally, intent on sharing what she calls a “biological-evolutionary perspective” on our deeper nature, Geralyn believes a new understanding of what it means to be human could very well become the lifeboat we need to survive should civilization as we know it collapse.

Ramona Oliver talks about aging with an attitude of incline! For the first time in history we are not only living longer, everyone has an important choice to make: commit to a meaningful, purposeful life of "Incline" as we get older or believe that a new stage – one of steady "decline" – is inevitable.  And, we cannot do anything about the chronological process of becoming 60, 70, 80 years and beyond. But, we can change the mindset for it. Furthermore, embracing change and looking at life with a keener sense of curiosity will lead to living with increased courage to live life to its fullest. In this episode, Ramona and I discuss how to make a conscious choice to ignore society's negative mindset of "decline" and "over-the-hill" as we age. Also, we discuss why people don't have the courage to go after dreams after a certain age. And, Ramona shares how to begin to pivot and shift your mindset if you're stuck in your old ways of thinking. Let's embrace a positive mindset of continuing to incline and climb ever upwards as we continue to create a life we LOVE living! Finally, check out Ramona's book, a recipient of a Book Excellence Award, INCLINED ELDERS: How to rebrand aging for self and society.   Resources Mentioned:  Visit Ramona's website  Ramona on facebook LinkedIn - Ramona Oliver Follow Ramona on Instagram Twitter - Ramona Oliver  Book: INCLINED ELDERS: How to rebrand aging for self and society Connect with Emily on LinkedIn  Emily Harman Positive Intelligence Coaching Program  Onward Accelerator Coaching Program Onward: Twitter | Onward Movement Facebook Group | YouTube Buy Emily's Best Selling Book Step Into the Spotlight Schedule a Complimentary Coaching Call with Emily Music by Soul Pajamas Enjoyed the show?

Darlene and Emily, United States Naval Academy graduates, discuss how they've benefited from strengthening their mental fitness. Mental Fitness or (PQ) is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur). This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient). Shirzad Chamine founded this Program. And research with over 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential. Consider this. If you're not physically fit, you'd feel physical stress as you climb a steep hill. If you're not mentally fit, you'd feel mental stress, such as anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness, as you handle work and relationship challenges.    Per Shirzad's research, 80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness. With recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology, you can improve your mental fitness significantly within 7 weeks of practice.  The results? Dramatically improved performance and productivity and a calm, clear, and happier mind. Who doesn't want those results?   Emily is a Positive Intelligence Coach. Sign up for her Positive Intelligence Coaching Program so you can experience the results yourself.
