On This episode we address basic information on the SARS COV-2 /COVID19 infodemic/pandemic that is literally consuming our country and the world. When I was a new flight nurse, I had a mentor that taught me off of one basic, yet crucial, principle: "DON'T LET DISTRACTORS DISTRACT YOU!" Our mental and physical wellness are what is most important and to achieve that we must be very mindful of our actions, reactions, and the things we choose to believe.  Not all information you hear and see out there is true. If we focus on the negative, we will only see the negative.  In these times of uncertainty, no one really knows what to do; however, it is our obligation to only share from reliable resources, remain calm, control what is in our power, and BE SMART about it all while remaining compassionate and showing love.  So while the world does seem to be in a crisis, remember to keep sight of the things that are true, that are important, and meaningful part of your life. Find ways to turn the negatives into positives and let us all work together to develop a more resilient mindset and practical ways to continue on. We are an evolutionary species, and this is a time for an evolution of many things on this planet and in ourselves.   Stay Safe and above all STAY SMART!

I am super pumped about this episode today. My guest is good friend and fellow Marine Savannah Cannon. I served with Savannah in 2007-11 and I wanted to bring her on so that she could talk more about her upcoming book, Breaking Innocents. When Savannah originally released it I could not put it down. Savannah’s book is unique, serious… there is nothing out there like it. I describe it as Jarhead meets Fifty Shades of Grey. And what I found the most interesting was that I saw a lot of me in her initial stages of joining the military. I appreciated how she paints herself as the antihero, but I think that it’s very special in that you get to have this unique perspective of what it is like to be a female in the military. It is well written, and a lot of what she has experienced throughout her life is still relevant and powerful today. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, like and share it with your friends, and give us a review on our podcast.   Check out Savannah's Instagram at @nannerscan and read more from her blog www.bambooandbananas.com

What would you do if you got divorced after 30 years? What would happen if you were diagnosed with cancer and the doctor told you that you had DAYS to live? At its root, we can all rise against the odds if we take responsibility for our lives and live in our purpose. Mindset is everything, and when we have nothing left to lose is when we find the strength and courage to keep fighting. In today’s episode, Sarah speaks with Dean and Bobbi Parker-Hall about how the struggles in their lives have led them to find infinite strength and the willpower to rise above what seemed like impossible odds. Bobbi Hall grew up in foster care and was lucky to make it out alive. After leaving a 30-year marriage, she finally decided to do something for herself. At 56 Bobbi’s transformation showed when she placed 2nd at her first bikini competition. From there, Bobbi continued to unlock her potential and founded Modern Bodies, a science-based program designed and infused with a mind, body, spirit approach for the modern woman that sees herself staying strong, sexy and active well into her later years. Dean Hall’s story began after he married his college sweetheart. After years of having a successful personal and professional life, Dean’s life flipped upside down after his wife passed away in less than two months after her diagnosis. Soon after, Dean was told that he had days to live after being diagnosed with lymphoma and leukemia. After learning about his condition, Dean decided that he wasn’t going out without a fight. That is when Dean decided to leave a legacy for his daughter and became the first person in history to swim the entire 184 miles of the Willamette River in Oregon. After being told that his cancer was incurable, Dean is now cancer-free and inspires others to not give up and wholeheartedly pursue their passion. Both Bobbi and Dean talk about their journey, explain the importance of not letting your circumstances define you, and tell their story of how finding meaning in their life helped them to heal from trauma and reach new depths mentally, physically, and spiritually.   You can find out more about Bobbi Parker-Hall and Dean Hall by visiting them on: Instagram: @modernbodiesfitness -Bobbi Parker-Hall @swimminginmiracles - Dean Hall   or their website at www.bobbiparker-hall.com  www.swimminginmiracles.com   Book recommendations: Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl

T4L is designed to help teens build the physical and mental skills needed to thrive in college.    For this program our guest speaker, Chance Farrar spoke about his experience as a college athlete and how he was able to dig deep and find the motivation to keep pushing when he almost quit school.    That defining moment shifted his mindset, helped him to eventually become a professional MMA fighter and coach many other fighters through the process of performing at an elite level.       

Did you know you have an innate capability to generate forces to create anything your brain can imagine?   How does the earth manage to thrive through recycling resources in or order to continue to provide us with nutrients, oxygen, and water? How do some of the most successful people become so successful?  How did some of the most historic moments and legacies on this planet get to be so compelling for centuries beyond their time? They all have to do with connection!!! Meaningful connections with those around us make up the one of the most powerful forces steering the quality of life. Connection is not just a human "want," it is an actual need. It is necessary for survival of humanity and all species.  Along with connection, compassion plays a key role in the development of resilience in individuals.  Strong bonds and connections promote your immunity and longevity. Conversely, the lack of connection and compassion lead to suffering on a global level by increasing the incidence of anxiety, depression, and suicide. Connection is one super power that we are all born capable of, but it takes courage and compassion to harness it. Making strong and meaningful connections is known to boost success in many areas of life and it is imperative we become more proactive on gaining ownership of the connections in our lives.  On this episode, Past The Threshold brings you multiple examples and compelling statistics on connection.   Topics and important figures in this episode include: Zen Buddhist Teacher Joan Halifax, Navy Seal Kwong Weng, American billionaire investor and philanthropist Ray Dalio, and the National Geographic's "One Strange Rock."  Netflix's "The People Vs. O.J. Simpson," and Ava DuVernay's  "When They See Us" also gain mention as we touch on correctional nursing and emotionality in the justice system during this episode.   

This week we join Shanen Aranmor, owner of Weld Like a Girl, and discuss how empowering it is to make the choice to do something that you love. If you are on the cusps of trying something new, but nervous about making the first move then this one is for you. Shanen's unique backstory and outside of the box thinking will help you to find the confidence to wholeheartedly pursue your passion.  Special thanks to Shanen, Littlewood Co-op, Yuma United, and Myolab for their support for our Embrace Your Inner Goddess event. 

Nothing great or exceptional ever started as such.  In order to grow, reach and pass limits in our lives, we must make friends with fear and embrace this one simple fact... In the beginning of any new endeavor, we are gonna suck!   It is important we realize that this is entirely normal, part of the process, and one hundred percent a natural process.  We weren't born running laps around the track, first we had to gain strength, then learn how to balance, then hold our selves up, then stand, then walk, and then finally run.  It is repetition, persistence, and determination that will forge our craft into a masterful beauty. In this episode your hosts discuss this very concept and also share experiences that have lead them to growth, stopped them from growth, and just some massive screw ups that test us but make our journey colorful and rich... in hindsight! Also, we share an intro to our upcoming Women's Empowerment event "Weld Like A Girl."  Stay tuned on our social media platforms.  You won't want to miss it!!!

On this episode of Past the Threshold we speak with prior professional baseball player, Olympic weightlifter, and co-founder of Olympiada, Joe Andrade.  Joe's journey started when he was a scrappy teenager who loved to try new things and put his heart into his love of baseball. After many setbacks, Joe pursued his lifelong dream of becoming a professional baseball player until a series of events led him to start a new path.  Hard work and perseverance has helped him discover his full potential and know that he can live a life that is filled with purpose by whole-heartedly following his passions in sport and entrepreneurship.  Joe's inspirational story is filled with many highs and lows, and with each step he has continued to push himself physically and mentally to lead a successful life.  In this episode we discuss his underdog story and how his unwavering commitment has led him to persevere despite many upsets in his career.  Joe's Instagram: @olympiadajoe Olympiada's Instagram: @olympiadagear

As humans, we are not meant to work or be alone.  Part of survival includes surrounding yourself with the right people who will protect and push you in times of adversity and when it is time to push past a threshold in your journey in order to achieve higher.   On episode 6, your hosts discuss the importance of building a tribe to shape success and find support on the regular.  We take you back to the beginning of our journeys and how Past The Threshold started. Furthermore, we discuss issues with asking for help, being afraid to leap into networking with strangers, trusting the process, showing up for a common goal, voicing your truths, and also having constructive conflict conversations with those close to you in order to strengthen bonds and clarify perspectives. The universe wants the best for you but you must be intentional about what you want as well.  Place intention behind choosing you friends and your tribe just as you are intentional about choosing business partners and spouses. True friendships and tribes are very much based on unconditional love.  Listen to the way we tie our journeys together and how Sarah uses the “Big Mac” analogy to exemplify how to choose the people we are in relationships with.

How many times in your life have you come to a crossroads where you’re presented with an opportunity, but turn it down because diverse fears get in the way? Have you ever let go of an opportunity only because you thought you couldn’t do it, only later to find out you have all that it takes and more to have been successful through that challenge? You’re not alone in this phenomenon. Many of us inadvertently close doors on possibilities because we operate from uncertainty and fear. In today’s episode of Past The Threshold, find out how champions become champions as we share some insight on how to let the universe guides you into successful paths through roads you never anticipated.  On episode 5, we give you a sneak peak of the film world of Past The Threshold as we follow incredible humans and unravel part of the stories that have brought them from unconventional backgrounds to now professional MMA fighters. The art of acquiescence, or the ability to roll with the punches, no matter how hard they may be, is on of the quintessential qualities of people who overcome adversity and dive into unforeseen opportunities to come out successful and victorious. Start taking risks, show up, be brave, and take the chance you always wanted to. We promise you, you will surprise yourself along the way! A special thank you to Victory MMA and Fitness out of San Diego California, Geof Real, Mark, Nadine Namndu, and Coach Tony Palafox for letting us into their amazing stories and worlds.

Productivity, or more hours in the day to do more, is a concept that driven people covet, yet often, maxing out our productivity may seem elusive. On episode 4 of Past The Threshold, your hosts Amanda, Sarah and Alejandra goof off a lot, but also discuss the importance of this and how it relates to increasing your regular productivity.  Wouldn't it be great if you found a way to narrow your focus, get the things you want done, and at the end of the day have less stress and feel more accomplished? Well, we are here to deliver to you techniques on how successful people accomplish more and reach goals more consistently so that you are able to do the same.   Remember, that with all things, you have to experiment and find what works for you, and most importantly practice, practice, practice those skills until you develop new habits.  This in turn promotes your productivity and success as new and healthy habits help you reduce your personal stress. Tune in to hear about Mel Robins "Rocket Ship" technique to pump yourself up, how mindfulness on your tasks matters, how "multi-tasking" is an archaic ideology, and how using planners and time blocking a whole week in advance can propel you to a new level of functionality.

In this episode, your hosts share the imperfections of this podcast's process and air out the frustrations behind the technical difficulties prior to recording.  We then re-center to dive into the powerful topic of Purpose Vs. Focus. We all have a purpose, yet in the midst and commotion of ordinary life we find it trying to recognize it. Moreover, our plates may become excessively full as we hunt for our purpose, we might find ourselves feeling a little lost or confused. Are you living your purpose? Or are you living the purpose created by your environment and feeling lost? How do you find your purpose and really live your life doing what brings you fulfillment? Learning how to weed out what is not serving your purpose and focus on what will help us flourish through it can be done by asking yourself the Miracle Question: “If you woke up tomorrow, and everything was exactly how I wanted it to be, what would that look like?” Tune in to learn the tools your hosts provide on helping you find purpose and focus on what’s really important to you. Topics: visualization, focus, action, relationships, meditation, purpose, Joe Dispenza, chasing excellence, Ben Bergeron.  

Oh the things we think... turn into the things we feel, and into the things we do. It all starts with awareness.   Learn more about what it is and how being unaware of your thoughts, emotions, and environment can be steering you away from where you want to be in life! Your team of hosts discuss the concept of floating, energies, meditation, digital dementia, and how important it is to disconnect from certain external influences and connect with influences of value.
