In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you'll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.Show Notes 0:00 - Welcoming Paul Zolman to What I Meant to Say0:19 - Becoming a Love Language Linguist from An Angry Household9:35 - How to Play Paul's Love Language Game16:26 - What Have You Learned from First to Second Marriage?19:59 - Practical Ways You Relate to Your Kids & Grandkids23:44 - Are There Ways to Protect Yourself from Being Taken Advantage Of?27:46 - Best Ways to Have a Generational Healing Conversation with Kids33:48 - The Purpose of the Love Language Game40:06 - Advice for Men to Be Love in the World42:43 - One Piece of Advice to Your Younger Self46:27 - Where Can People Find You?47:14 - Thank You & ClosingLinks & Where to Find Paul www.roleoflove.comYoutubeFB - https://www.facebook.com/roleoflovediceIG - https://www.instagram.com/roleoflovedice/Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/roleoflovedice/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@roleoflovediceTwitter/X - https://twitter.com/roleoflovedicePinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/roleoflovedice/The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts

It is created through a unique process I developed myself which preserves all the healing compounds of the hemp plant. This brings optimal healing and restores the body to its natural state. As a renowned expert in the field of hemp and CBD as well as a caring holistic healer who is actively changing lives, my mission is to revolutionize and empower people to heal and live well by transforming our concepts of health and the healing power of pure hemp and CBDa. My journey with hemp/CBD began when I received a call from my mom telling me she had cancer and only had six months left to live. Heartbroken but determined, I traveled the world on a mission to find natural ways to overcome her health condition. That is when I discovered that the hemp plant is known to be a miracle plant. However, when I met with the highest quality hemp CBD producers in the US, I realized that none of them had a high-quality hemp product. I knew what I had to do! After facing many challenges, I was finally able to create a product for my mother, and subsequently other people in the world, an effective alternative health solution. Today, Nesa's Hemp is certified as the highest quality organic hemp product on the market. Five years ago, my mother was given 6 months to live. Today she is cancer free and enjoying a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.Show Notes - 0:00 - Coming Up on ‘What I Meant to Say'0:22 - WIMTS Intro0:44 - Welcome to Inesa 1:14 - How Did Your Life Story Lead to Nesa's Hemp?7:49 - Conversation on Hydration & Water Quality12:21 - The Day I Found Out My Mom Had Terminal Cancer19:25 - CBD Discussion25:54 - Implication on the Hemp Plant31:27 - Education is the Only Way to Change It38:39 - What Education & Help Will People Find on Your Website?43:20 - Where Can People Find You?43:52 - Thank You & ClosingLinks & Where to Find Inesa -www.regenesis369.com     www.nesashemp.com

This chaotic atmosphere became normal and Taylor became accustomed to stuffing her emotions inwards. It wasn't until early adulthood that she experienced the harm of emotional suppression in the form of addiction.Taylor attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo as a communications major and dance minor.  The first two years of college were painful as Taylor struggled socially and suffered from severe depression and anxiety.  She developed an eating disorder that lasted for two years before she found alcohol and partying as a replacement.  Within 11 months, Taylor found herself a prisoner to lethal drug addiction.  Despite her illness, she graduated Cal Poly in 2019 with a 3.5 GPA.  Within three weeks of moving home from school, Taylor was sent to an intensive inpatient rehabilitation program.Taylor earned 18 months of sobriety and applied to graduate school to become an LMFT in 2020 with the desire to help fellow addicts. She successfully completed the first quarter, but by the second quarter, drugs found her again. Taylor withdrew and went to a rehabilitation facility in Texas that had horses and equine therapy. She also got back into yoga and found its nurturing movement patterns to help her heal physically, mentally, and emotionally.After 2 years of continuous sobriety, rigorous AA step work, and self-exploration, Taylor decided to go back to Antioch University where she is in school to become an LMFT.  She is eager to offer therapeutic help to fellow addicts in recovery, and is also keen to help children of divorce navigate their ways through the murky waters of a dissolving family system.  Taylor is very excited to be pursuing a career in mental health where she can learn how to help people, like herself, heal. Show Notes - 0:00 - Coming Up on ‘What I Meant to Say'0:23 - WIMTS Intro0:45 - Welcome Taylor Grant1:28 - Discovering the Addictive Pattern4:18 - The Importance of a Father7:28 - High School11:31 - First Two Years of College at Cal Poly SLO13:20 - I Found Alcohol & Partying21:31 - Isolation Drinking & Blacking Out in College23:46 - Summer Before Senior Year I Met a Guy27:50 - Everyone Smokes Marijuana29:25 - Introduced to Cocaine & Headed to Rehab within 11 Months34:16 - Shameful Graduation38:17 - How Were Your Parents Dealing at This Point?46:10 - It's A Day to Day Choice51:35 - A God Shot59:57 - Taylor of Today1:02:15 - Takeaways from Daughters of Divorce Book1:06:55 - What I Would Tell My Younger Self1:07:29 - Thank You 1:08:26 - WIMTS Closing Links & Where to Find Taylor - IG - @tay1031
