Podcasts about finding strength

On this episode of the Freedom Writers Podcast, Erin Gruwell is joined by original Freedom Writer Erica Alcaraz for an intimate conversation about courage, empathy, and storytelling. As a teenager in Room 203, Erica penned Diary #62, a raw yet eloquent account of childhood sexual abuse, featured in "The Freedom Writers Diary." Decades later, her words continue to resonate, empowering survivors around the world to reclaim their voices and share their truths. Erica reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped her life, from breaking her silence in Erin's classroom to unexpectedly choosing motherhood and raising her remarkable adopted son, Joshua, now a Freedom Writer scholarship recipient heading to college. She shares the emotional complexity of parenting after trauma, the realities of relapse and recovery, and her profound commitment to mentoring others through their darkest hours. This episode is a powerful reminder that writing can be activism, empathy is essential for healing, and even our most painful experiences can become catalysts for change. It's a tribute to all who dare to speak their truth — and a call to action for listeners to foster compassion, community, and courage.

In 2 Corinthians 12, Apostle Paul discusses his struggles, particularly a persistent hardship termed a "thorn in the flesh." He emphasizes that God's grace is sufficient and His power is revealed through human weakness. Believers are encouraged to rely on divine strength rather than personal ability, transforming inadequacies into opportunities for growth and support.

Send us a textWhat happens when uncertainty becomes your superpower? In this riveting conversation with Christian Ray Flores—entrepreneur, high-performance coach, and philanthropist—we explore how extreme adversity can transform into extraordinary strength.Christian's story reads like a gripping novel: witnessing military coups, living as a refugee while his father was imprisoned in a concentration camp, observing civil wars unfold, and seeing the Soviet empire collapse firsthand. Rather than being crushed under these experiences, Christian developed what he calls "anti-fragility"—the ability to not merely survive uncertainty but to thrive because of it. "The biggest risk you can take is not taking any risks," he shares, revealing how this mindset propelled him from trauma to becoming a top pop artist across Eastern Europe in his twenties, and later, a successful entrepreneur and coach. His formula is surprisingly simple: push 20% beyond your comfort zone while maintaining 80% within it—consistently, daily.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Christian evaluates his life across five dimensions: mental health, physical health, community service, spirituality, and relationships. His perfect score in community service stems from 25 years of philanthropic work across four continents, including founding the Ascend Academy for children in Africa. His spiritual practice includes the transformative power of Sabbath—a weekly ritual of divorcing identity from productivity and experiencing pure joy.Perhaps most striking is Christian's approach to relationships, particularly his 25-year marriage where "the spark" remains vibrantly alive. His secret? "Your job is to make your wife radiant with joy." This isn't just a poetic sentiment but backed by systems: weekly dates, daily breakfasts prepared, annual marriage retreats (never missed in 25 years), and regular vacations together.Ready to redefine what success means in your life? Christian's insights reveal that fulfillment isn't one-dimensional but requires balanced growth across all domains of life.

They share personal stories about how connections with other sober individuals provide essential feedback, guidance, and support when facing life's challenges, like family issues and loss.  Steve and Matt discuss how fellowship complements step work, strategies for newcomers who struggle to connect, and why even long-timers need their "pack" to stay sober. Its a vulnerable episode, as they all are and they reveal that nobody has "perfect recovery" and how reaching out to others, whether through meetings, service work, or simple check-ins and how that creates the safety net that makes sobriety possible.

There are times in life when a person feels that not receiving what they desperately want would be the worst possible outcome. In such moments, they may cry out and beg Hashem for help, day and night, with their entire being. During this time, they find it difficult to enjoy anything. Their thoughts are consumed by the issue, and they can't imagine life without a resolution. Naturally, we are encouraged to pray for what we believe is best and to place our hopes in Hashem's kindness. However, it's important to recognize that sometimes, a person's mission in this world may specifically depend on enduring that very challenge. What may appear to be an obstacle could, in truth, be the catalyst for personal growth and transformation. By resenting or resisting it, a person may miss the opportunity to fulfill their unique purpose. On the other hand, if one can sincerely accept Hashem's will, even while continuing to pray for relief, they open the door to spiritual elevation. Acceptance does not mean surrendering hope. It means that as long as the challenge remains, one embraces it and strives to grow through it. A simple shift in perspective can often save a person from months—or even years—of stress and anxiety. A man recently told me that he was out of town for Pesach. On the last day of Chol HaMoed, he attended a shiur after shul, where the rabbi spoke about the seventh day of Pesach and how the splitting of the sea is compared to the miracle of bringing couples together. Chazal teach us that not only does Hashem orchestrate marriages, but He arranges all human encounters. Later that morning, as he walked down the street, an Israeli woman approached him and began speaking in Hebrew. He couldn't fully understand her, so he turned to another man passing by—someone he recognized—who was fluent and could interpret. The woman had noticed that this man was missing fingers on one hand. She explained that her infant daughter was born with the same condition, and she was overwhelmed with fear and sorrow for her child's future. Without hesitation, the man called over his wife and children and told her, "I am the happiest man in the world." He shared how he lives a fulfilling life—with a job, a loving family, friends, and a deep sense of contentment. He had never felt that he was lacking anything. His sincerity and joy radiated to her. She was overcome with emotion, nearly brought to tears by the chizuk he gave her. Until that moment, she had envisioned only difficulty and despair for her daughter. But now, she saw hope. She never imagined that her daughter could possibly live a normal life let alone get married and raise a family. She was in such misery over the past six months but now everything changed. She thanked the man from the bottom of her heart for his words of encouragement and her life is now changed. Nothing else changed from that meeting other than her perspective and that made all the difference. Hashem gave her the exact chizuk that she needed by meeting this man while he was away in her hometown. Yes, Hashem was once again Mizaveg Zivugim. We always hope to get what we want but we must remember there's a much bigger plan for us and the worst thing we could do is fight against the circumstances that Hashem puts us in. Everything we go through is to make us the people we're meant to become. This man said he sees so clearly the fact that he was born with a hand without fingers has made his life more meaningful and better in countless ways. We are always encouraged to pray for what we want but if we didn't get it yet we should happily accept the circumstances that Hashem has put us in.

In this special highlight reel, we revisit the most unforgettable moments from the past few months of Ageless Athlete. These are stories that stuck with me—narratives that challenged how I think about fear, recovery, aging, and what the human body (and spirit) can do when fully committed.You'll hear:A nurse in her 50s swimming 30 miles through 43-degree water toward the Farallon Islands—without a wetsuit.A son running beside his father through the fog of Alzheimer's.An ultra-runner finding joy mid-chemo.A solo paddleboard crossing of the Atlantic Ocean.Affirmations taped to walls that became lifelines.And reminders that fear, suffering, and setbacks are often the path itself.If you're new here, this episode is a great introduction to what Ageless Athlete is all about. And if you're a regular, this is a chance to revisit the stories that deserve a second listen.

Dee Anna's story is one of resilience, adventure, and refusing to let society define her limits.  Born with a genetic mutation that affected her mobility, she faced a lifetime of challenges—from intensive physiotherapy as a child to being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2022. Along the way, she also navigated severe autism, trauma, and life-altering setbacks that could have stopped her in her tracks. But instead, she turned to the outdoors. In this episode, Dee shares how thru-hiking the South West Coast Path became the turning point that changed everything. With no home, no job, and facing immense personal struggles, she took a leap of faith and embarked on a 71-day journey that helped her reclaim her life. We talk about the power of movement, nature's role in healing, and why adventure should be accessible to everyone. Now, as a scientist, outdoor journalist, and founder of The Introvert Magazine, Dee is on a mission to inspire others to embrace nature, break barriers, and live life on their own terms. This is a powerful and deeply moving conversation about survival, self-discovery, and the courage to forge your own path. Don't miss it!  *Please be aware that this episode contains discussions of suicidal thoughts, severe trauma, and sexual assault. *** Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

In this powerful episode of The Anxiety Chicks, Alison and Taylor open up about the emotional journey of aging—particularly from a woman's perspective. From the pressure to look a certain way to the silent grief of unmet expectations, they get real about what it means to grow older in a society that glorifies youth. The conversation explores the internal shifts that come with milestone birthdays like 30 or 40, the emotional weight of becoming a caregiver to aging parents, and the strength that can be found in the middle of life's most tender transitions. Whether you're navigating body image, grieving what never was, or learning to love who you're becoming—this episode is a reminder that aging is not a curse, but a privilege.

“Just know that you have the capacity, the will, and the power to get through it. Don't lose hope. Don't lose faith.” — Andres CintronIn this powerful episode of A Mental Health Break, host Vincent A. Lanci sits down with career counselor and community leader Andres Cintron—a passionate mental health advocate helping students navigate their own ups and downs in the higher education space.From his early experiences growing up in Puerto Rico and adjusting to life in Connecticut after his parents' divorce, to managing family challenges with depression, Andres shares how his upbringing shaped his understanding of mental health. He opens up about the importance of self-reflection, identifying internal and external stressors, and empowering others through education and empathy.

Psalm 29:10-11 portrays God as sovereign over chaos, affirming His eternal kingship and intimate care for His people. Amid life's struggles, this scripture reassures believers of God's strength and peace. It invites reflection on personal challenges, encouraging trust in God's provision and His unwavering presence during turbulent times.

In this episode, I'm opening up about something we all face but rarely talk about—rejection. I recently went through an experience that shook me, but instead of letting it define me, I chose to learn from it. I'm sharing how I shifted my mindset, found power in reflection, and discovered that a "no" can actually open doors to something even better.I'll talk about the importance of pressing pause—especially if you're constantly in go-mode—and why self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. I'm also encouraging you to do something simple but powerful: make a list of your wins. Sometimes, we need that reminder of who we are and what we've already overcome.This episode is for anyone navigating a setback, looking for clarity, or just needing a little boost to keep going. I've been there—and I want you to know, you're not alone, and the journey ahead is still yours to claim.LINKS Listen on Apple: https://apple.co/4ltDKN0Listen on Spotify:  https://bit.ly/4j11ExCWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ljkg_JEQXUoFollow Brush Strokes Pottery on Instagram Shop Ceramic Cactus - ⁠https://brushstrokespottery.com⁠**use code Podcast for 15% off**NOMINATE AN ARTIST:If you'd like to nominate an artist (can be yourself) send us an email at info@brushstrokespottery.comKeywords:artist, ceramics, social media, creative journey, positive mindset, community, entrepreneurship, overcoming rejection, small business, female entrepreneur, small batch ceramics, art podcast, artist journey

In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom Podcast, host Shannon Urquiola dives into a conversation many moms need to hear — the truth that autism isn't a bad word, and having an autistic child doesn't mean they are less than.Shannon shares the emotional reality of hearing the word“autism” for the first time, why so many parents fear saying it out loud, and how the label is often misunderstood by those who haven't been impacted by autism personally. She offers real-life scenarios, encouraging strategies, and powerful mindset shifts to help you speak confidently about your child's diagnosis.Whether you're still sitting in fear or just unsure how to explain things to others, this episode will give you perspective, courage, and practical support. Because the more you talk about it, the easier it becomes.And remember — your child isn't broken. They're just different. And different isn't bad.

Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia welcomes Amberly Lago, the author of the USA Today bestselling books "True Grit and Grace" and "Joy through the Journey," to discuss her incredible journey of overcoming adversity and finding resilience. Amberly shares her story of being hit by an SUV while riding her motorcycle, which left her with a shattered leg and a severed femoral artery. Despite facing a 1% chance of saving her leg and enduring 34 surgeries, Amberly refused to give up and fought to keep her leg and rebuild her life. Main Takeaways: Pain can be a powerful teacher, and there are ways to thrive and find joy despite experiencing physical, emotional, or financial pain. Grit without connection leads to resistance, while grit with connection allows for true resilience. Vulnerability can be a superpower, enabling deeper connections and support from others. Mindset is crucial in overcoming adversity, and it's essential to consciously choose positivity and gratitude. Surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded individuals can significantly impact your success and well-being. Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting your perspective and finding joy in challenging circumstances. Resilience is not about bouncing back to who you were before, but about adapting and growing through adversity. Pursuing your purpose and passions can give you the strength to overcome even the toughest obstacles. It's crucial to invest in yourself and attend events that fill your cup and connect you with inspiring individuals. Never give up on your dreams, even if it takes time and perseverance to achieve them. Amberly's story is a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and the importance of connection in overcoming life's greatest challenges. Her journey from being bedridden and facing amputation to becoming a bestselling author and inspirational speaker is truly remarkable.
