It's the interplay between how she has shown up front stage and back stage, experiencing ebullience and sorrow, and navigating these ups and downs and all-arounds that gives this episode so much texture. It's that texture is probably why she's such an incredible coach.

The Joy Revolution and TEDxOcala proudly present... The Golden Mic Podcast w/ Marc Cordon Ep. 0111 The Power of Unlearning w/ Ingrid Harb https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0111_harb "It's going inwards so that I can fill myself up and have more to give." - Ingrid Harb Ingrid never really fit in a box or category. She was born and raised in Mexico and then went to Texas for boarding school. So at times, she was too Mexican for the norms of an American boarding school. And in returning to Mexico, she was almost too American for her Mexican colleagues. Either she was Mexican, or she was an American. And while she admits that she initially struggled with the "either/or" mentality, Ingrid began to think about what a "both/and" mindset is - one where she claims an identity where she was both American and Mexican and beyond. To fully embrace a "both/and" identity, Ingrid needed to unlearn the categories and boxes that limit so many of us. As a result, this mindset has changed the way she views social justice, identity and spirituality. On November 12, 2022, Ingrid will step on the red circle at TEDxOcala to take her message of unlearning to the masses, and you get to hear her here first.

And we all have it. We have to choose to activate it and choose to thrive as a result of tapping into our grit." - Dr India White A sixteen-year-old, India arrived home and knocked several times for her mom to let her in. She was exhausted after working a late Christmas Eve shift. She knocked again. No answer. Tears began to run down her face. In shock, she walked elsewhere. Through no fault, India was kicked out by her mother, who battled addiction. She didn't know how to make it, and understandably so. She was just a teenager. Yet her faith and grit helped her to focus on her academics. Her faith and grit helped her grieve the loss of four family members while in the shelter. And her faith and grit helped her to persist to complete, not one degree but three degrees from the University of Florida. On November 12, 2022, Dr. India White will make a new home for herself at TEDxOcala and share her story of the power of grit.

The Joy Revolution and TEDxOcala proudly present... The Golden Mic Podcast w/ Marc Cordon Ep. 0108 The 4th Trimester: The Power of a Doctor & Her Black Bag/w Dr Sonal Patel https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0108_patel Meet Sonal, a mother of four boys. During her pregnancy, Sonal was the Hollywood prototype of a pregnant woman - a perfectly round belly, glowing skin, and luscious flowing hair. But life after birth was much different for Sonal. Postpartum tore her apart physically, emotionally, and mentally - leaky, engorged breasts accompanied by waves of intense pelvic pain, diapers on both baby and her, a sense of isolation, and tears never portrayed in any Hollywood blockbuster. Sonal is a physician, specifically a pediatrician further trained in neonatology. Her story concerning postpartum, or the 4th trimester, is not an isolated tale. Many women undergo it far worse. Serena Williams, the greatest of women's tennis, almost died after her c-section. She developed a pulmonary embolism, a lung clot, requiring two surgical operations, and spent her first six weeks of motherhood in bed, half her 4th trimester. In doing more research on the 4th trimester, the statistics are staggering. America's maternal mortality rate of 23.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births ranks last in first world nations though spending the most in healthcare dollars.The lastest data reported in September 2022 showed that 22% mothers die in pregnancy, while 78% die after birth, with 25% in the first week of delivery. 4 in 5 deaths are preventable.Interstate disparities find that a mother in Georgia has ten times higher chance of dying versus a California mother.Among black women, maternal mortality is three times higher than that of her white counterparts. Extrapolating the data further, a black woman's higher education level and socioeconomic status does not protect her from these alarming disparities.Women are income-earners through outside avenues of employment as well as through traditional household duties. A new mother's unexpected death not only leaves behind a newborn and maybe other children, but jolts a household's economic foundation.  In 2022, the Council of Foreign Relations estimated that if women were part of the US labor force at the same rate as men, America's economy would grow by $4.3 trillion in five years.   As Dr. Patel says, "There must be a better way." ...and a better way for the 4th trimester will take everyone. Sonal is doing her part. After her own experience, Dr. Sonal Patel transitioned from her Neonatal ICU job and began a new career as a traveling 4th-trimester doctor. She wrote the book, "The Doctor & Her Black Bag: How Old-Fashioned Care Tackles Maternal Mortality and Benefits America's Economy" In the spirit of bringing awareness to the 4th trimester, Dr. Patel will speak at TEDxOcala. Dr. Patel will be talking about how the failure not to action during the 4th trimester impacts everyone.

Expertise Reimagined & Marc Cordon present The Golden Mic Podcast Evolution of the Spirit w/ Cyndi Maurer https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0107_Maurer "When you're not taught how to turn down your empathic ability, you just either match, absorb, or try to fix, heal, and do for others." - Cyndi Maurer Folks say that highly conscious, super spiritual folks may cause electrical malfunctions to electronic devices. Well, Dr. Cyndi Maurer did this to my podcasting equipment. Our producer and sound engineer, Jofern, salvaged much of the recording, but he has asked for some time off. ...and it was SO worth it because Cyndi's interview was what the kids on Nickelodeon call "a banger." This is why... ...growing up in northern California, Cyndi ostensibly lived the all-American dream, Nickelodeon, a great school, and incredible friends. family, and even fantastic neighbors. But it was during a conversation with her babysitter that Cyndi realized that there was something different about her. As her babysitter talked about god, a six-year-old Cyndi processed what she was hearing and asked, "Is God the little character next to everyone?" I imagine that Cyndi's babysitter giving her a "WTF" face... ...because that's precisely when Cyndi knew that she experienced the world much differently than most people. She could tell when her neighbors were cheating, she could pick up on others' emotions, and, my favorite...she knew her friends' insecurities and could destroy them if they ever pissed her off.

You just have to say, it stops with me, and I don't want to pass this onto my next generation." - Dr. Lulu "Fear is a powerful thing, but courage is a bigger, more important force because it's fear plus action." - Dr Lulu "When I walk in the room, I'm not Nigerian, I'm not queer, I'm black. That can get me killed. So when you ask me, have I felt unsafe?" - Dr Lulu Pick your quote because this episode is an instant classic. It's disruptive. It's one love bomb after another. Dr. Lulu did not fit the mold. Born in a Catholic, Nigerian family she did not want to perpetuate her bisexuality. In experiencing America first-had, she argues that America is no better than Nigeria, especially when it comes to the LGBTQ community. She's a mother of three - one of them transgender, all of them black. And she doesn't hold back on flipping the mirror, on herself, on society, on parents, and on me.

Podquest and TEDxFaurotPark proudly present... The Golden Mic Podcast w/ Marc Cordon Ep. 104 Radical Compassion as the Goal of Conflict Resolution w/ Henry Yampolsky https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0104_yampolsky "We experience the most profound joy when we're able to connect with another human being beyond their identity, beyond their story, beyond something about them, but truly connect with them." - Henry Yampolsky Growing up in Kyiv, Ukraine, Henry Yampolsky always wanted to come to the United States. As a refugee whose family landed in Scranton, PA, some of those dreams didn't quite live up to his expectations. It was most apparent in seeing his mom go from a respected nurse in Ukraine to a nurse's aide who didn't hold as much respect in the US. From those experiences, Henry wanted to become a lawyer to bring a voice to people like his parents. This sounds like a full circle moment, where Henry became the voice of the voiceless and would ride off into the sunset - the true American dream. But becoming a lawyer wasn't the American dream for Henry. Instead, becoming a lawyer would lead to him feeling stuck and lost. And this was the beginning of a truly remarkable journey - one that, at times, Henry would experience on a motorcycle. In the malaise and doldrums of feeling stuck, Henry and his wife watched a movie called "The Highest Pass," where Yogi guru Anand takes someone on a motorcycle trip through the Himalayas. It lit Henry up. After a few happy, non-random happen-stances, he found himself with Anand...now his teacher...on a motorcycle...on the Himalayas...on the ride of his life. Through continued spiritual practice, Henry's perspective of "us vs. them" began to melt away and replaced with another viewpoint - Everything is connected. He discovered the integrative law movement through which he became a mediator - one who practiced radical compassion. This is one of those episodes where something new shows up every time you listen to it. These are just a few: 45:19 - Pushing through fear & true freedom 52:34 - Observing without evaluating 57:25 - Pain without suffering 1:03:49 - The choice between reaction and response And he'll be sharing his talk Radical Compassion as the Goal of Conflict Resolution.

It was a perfect template to use as she became a mother of three. But it was with her son Ryan that providing wasn't enough. At first, Ryan was drinking with his friends in high school which could be seen as fairly innocuous since so many people drink in high school. But down the line, drinking became more frequent and a heavy heroin and meth addition for Michelle's oldest son. Soon Michelle was struggling to understand her role as a parent and someone who didn't want to enable her son. She attended ALANON meetings but they didn't seem to land. As she began to grow from her experience, Michelle wrote the book, Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up: Seven Steps to Self-Recovery. She knew she was on to something as she was flooded with thank you's from parents who struggled with the same issues. She created a Facebook group for families to know that they aren't alone. And she'll be sharing her experience, strength and hope at TEDxFaurotPark with her talk How to Connect with an Addicted Loved One with PEACE.

It was a miracle that he was even alive. He had been shot from close range in the head, Matt heard someone say, "You're not going to die tonight." And the voice was right. Matt did not die. In fact, he's currently flourishing in many domains of life. But here's the rub. It's a big one. Matt was actually person who pulled the trigger. He wanted to take his life. In attempting to end his life, he realized that life was worth living. And he's helping people like you and me to think about what it means to stop chasing success; to think about living the life to the fullest; to find a ways to fill that god-sized hole that so many of us are searching to fill.
