It's called “Voices of Healing” it's episode #252. It's a compilation episode where I pulled in clips from lots of past interviews so we heard from Todd Sylvester, Amanda Grow, Dianne Butterfield, Trevor Lay….and others about their healing journeys. I think this episode was so powerful because we learn from one another, and when we pull in real life healing stories from so many different people, with different experiences, as well as professionals, well…there's a lot to learn and something for everyone. We all have things to heal from, so we all want to understand this path better. Here's a clip….Tune in to hear the clip...If you want to hear all the stories from this favorite, go back to episode 252, this one launched on Aug. 23 of this year, and take a listen to the whole show.Ok. Here we are at #4 - the number 4 favorite episode of 2023 was episode 239: my interview with Chris Hawker. This episode was titled: Tools to Magnify our Worthiness. I loved my chat with Chris because he is a man that has been in the leadership of Next Level Trainings - which was where I did a great deal of my work in moving my life forward - learning to reframe my stories. Chris came on the podcast and was honest and vulnerable about his own struggle with feelings of unworthiness. We talked about how these stories of unworthiness happen, how he navigated his, and then we get to hear some of his wonderful suggestion for reframing those erroneous and destructive feelings. I think this one is a favorite because working through any feelings of unworthiness is an important part of really becoming YOU. Here's a clip:Tune in to hear the clip...to hear the rest of his story about his road to truly embracing his real self worth… - again, it's episode 239 and it aired on February 22 of this year.Now on to #3 top fav for 2023.

In this episode we hear his whole story - the brave escape from an abusive father at 10 years old, his subsequent life as a child living on the streets struggling daily to stay alive, and the fortuitous meeting of a man who would change Peter's life, and in so doing change the lives his siblings, their children, and all the children Peter now helps as a foster parent.

One of my favorite interviews because he story is shocking, incredible, and how often do you get to speak with someone who was there to see the Tutsi and Hutu massacre in Rwanda - he talks about that in the second episode in this series, What Hate Can Do.

Episode 239: Tools to Magnify our Worthiness: Interview Chris HawkerAm I worthy of love? Am I worthy of good things? Am I worthy of success?I have a couple family members who have recently discussed with me feelings of unworthiness because of religious or cultural messages. It's come up as a topic in multiple groups recently, so it's been on my radar.So, when Chris Hawker, co-founder of Next level Trainings, recently was featured on the Spirit River Coaching Summit speaking on “Are you worthy enough to love yourself - tools to magnify worthiness and move you forward,” I reached out to him right away to see if he'd talk to us about this universal struggle. The struggle to feel we are worthy of all the good stuff.Tune in for our talk about how to embrace our worthiness and the tools to help us do that. I believe in light and in darkness, I believe in good and in evil. I believe in these things because I've experienced what it's like to sit in love and light, and I've experienced what it's like to feel fear and shame and the hell it brings. I believe in God and light and love, and I believe in Satan, who seeks to keep us small and miserable, filled with self-loathing and self rejection. As I have watched people, done interviews, read transformational biographical stories of the human struggle, and taken note of our predominant struggles as humankind, I have come to the conclusion that feeling unworthy is one of the greatest tool that separates us from light and love. Feelings of self loathing and self doubt are amplified by our natural negativity bias, the devil on our shoulder seems to always be ready to cut us to the quick, ready to make us doubt ourselves and our worthiness for good things, for love, for success. Basic life struggles are instantly met with the idea that we are not enough.The reason this tool is so powerful in stopping us, is that when we buy into the belief that we are unworthy we will play small. We will not share our talents with the world, which rips everyone off - us and the world. We slink in the shadows, living well below what we are capable. I suspect one of the biggest battles we will ever engage in during our lives is the fight, within our own minds, to accept our brilliance, our worthiness, our potential, and our beauty as humans. This is why I'm so pleased today to talk with Chris Hawker about tools for magnifying our worthiness so we can move forward in big and fabulous ways. Let me introduce him - Chris Hawker is a transformational leadership trainer, inventor and professional speaker. He has trained teams at organizations like Duracell and McDonald's.

He is co-founder of Next Level Trainings, which has trained thousands of individuals, raising over $4M in charitable donations. He resides in Columbus, OH, with his wife, son and dogTune into the audio program to hear our discussion about things like:Let's start out with your story - what has been your path to a full acceptance of your self worth?What is self worth?Where does it come from?Why does doing the work to shed the unworthy feelings we have matter?How do you coach people as they work on reclaiming a deep sense of self worth? What do we do to get self worth?I'd like to get your thoughts on a couple of quotes - one you are familiar with and one is a surprise - First one:Roy T. Bennett said, “If you want to fly, you have to give up what weights you down” Second one:Maya Angelou said, “I learned a long time ago, the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side.”To contact...
Today I want to discuss how do we empower others? How do we inspire them? How do we enroll other people into our vision, so they will help us accomplish whatever it is were going after, and at the same time help them accomplish something themselves? “Mastery of leadership is a skill through which you understand the mechanisms, tools, and strategies that are effective in enrollment and leadership. When you're enrolling, you are inspiring and empowering people while leading them in the direction of your vision—and their own.” – Chris Hawker, co-founder, Next Level Trainings
