Today I'm excited to be close to home once again and this time, visiting Melbourne, Australia. Even thou we do spend some time in Broken Hill and Sydney, both of which sit in New South Wales. Why? Because we are meeting with Aussie Outback legend Ms. Fiona Demark. I am excited to introduce Ms. Demark who is an adventure-seeking, obstacle bounding, no-regretive kind of girl who lives life to the extreme. She has spent the past 30 ish years using her talents in human communication, care, and kindness to help others. She shares her story and proves that all of us can be resilient, strong, and grateful for what life presents us. Fiona is here today to share her inspirational story of resilience, goal setting, and overcoming barriers and will help you realize that you too have the power to change your life in positive ways and achieve your dreams. So imagine if you can live in an isolated township hours away from the next established location. In many cases that's also hours away from the next property. Many of you will have seen the American Wild West on TV, well Broken Hill is pretty close to Australia's equivalent, only with rich red soil, and an abundance of wild life inclusive of many of the deadliest reptiles on the planet, plus a few friendly roos and koalas thrown in for good measure. This is the terrain where our guest grew up all the while, suffering an increasing degree of blindness. It's a wide-ranging discussion ranging from disabilities to personal challenges and conquests, and to suggestions that all of us can heed in helping make this planet a more friendly and engaging environment Please visit our website for access to the episode notes, guest links, and full transcript.

Fiona Demark was born legally blind. She was discouraged growing up, especially as a teenager. It's hard enough to go through the usual teenage challenges but imagine figuring out how to navigate a disability. Fiona did not let her visual impairment stop her from pursuing her goals. She believed in herself and learned to seek out support. Today, Fiona helps other break through their limiting beliefs and energy blocks to achieve inner peace and fulfillment using a variety of methods such as Reiki. Her resilience has given her an arsenal of tools and she's helping many others build their own toolboxes.

Back when Fiona Demark was growing up in a small town in Australia, resources to help support her sight loss weren't readily available. Legally blind since birth, she worked hard in school and envisioned a future for herself that included a career. But her family didn't rally for her as she'd hoped, demonstrating apathy and even incredulity that Fiona would expend the effort for dreams that wouldn't likely come true. Today, Fiona is a mother, an entrepreneur, and a keynote speaker in addition to her government job.You will learn:* How wrestling with big issues in isolation can lead to feelings of hopelessness and suicidal ideations.* When family support is deficient, outside group support can create an invaluable safety net.* That waiting for external validation when accomplishing the improbable can lead to burnout when it doesn't come.To connect with Fiona and learn about her coaching and presentations, click HEREFor show notes, click HERE.Lizbeth's linkshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/LizbethMeredithhttps://lameredith.com/Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughtershttps://www.facebook.com/lizbethmeredithfan/

Wyatt, Jeremy, & Fiona address issues such as overcoming adversity, goal setting, building resilience and effective communication.

I am Fiona Demark, an inspirational speaker and life coach who moves participants from not achieving the results they are capable of, to inspiring positive change in both your professional and personal lives. I provide practical strategies that make a lifelong impact upon participants.Over the past 25 years I have had the pleasure of working with people to gain focus and step into their own power. My real world examples of overcoming adversity and building resilience place me in perfect stead to share tools with others to build personal resources and inspiration to reach their goals.What makes me unique and stand out from every other executive trainer and keynote speakers, is that I am legally blind. Having a disability since birth has taught me that life can be a challenge, but ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade'. By meeting challenges head on and constantly stepping outside my comfort zone I have built resilience and learned how to keep moving forward through adversity.I would love to share this knowledge with you and look forward to speaking with you further about how we can work together to make this happen.Website: https://fionademark.com.auLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fionademark/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiona.demark_blind_inspiration/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Fiona.DemarkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiDQBS9ifcfQG3VXjR7bzFw

Spiritual Alchemy The PODCAST with Julie Ann Guthrie-Smulson
About Fiona:I began on my journey of helping and healing many years ago. Often friends and family would come to me to help problem solve for them, and I realised that this was my calling in life. Since completing my Social Work degree at university I have had an understanding of psychology and other tools with which to assist those in need. During my study I encountered a range of different people in many circumstances who required a helping hand. From my practical placements I decided to focus on HIV/AIDS as a speciality and worked in that field for over 15 years.When I was in my early 20's I was introduced to Reiki. I had migraine headaches and a friend offered a treatment. I found this healing modality to be very beneficial personally and wanted to share it with others. I undertook my Reiki studies over a period of years and am now a Reiki Master.I have since continued to study in the areas of holistic healing, including a Certificate in Natural Therapies, Graduate Certificate in Hypnotherapy and a Diploma in Life Coaching. I have complimented this study with short courses and personal growth to give me a wide range of healing modalities with which I now assist clients to reach their goals of healing and reaching their desired outcomes.I love to help others, and enjoy watching the successes of those I work with when they make steps towards reaching their own goals. My ideal is working collaboratively with clients so they are in control of their change. With this technique, clients are provided with tools to use in the future.It is wonderful to be able to give back, and make a difference in a world that is often difficult to navigate.I love sharing positivity and mindfulness. I enjoy opportunities to share my story through motivational speaking presentations to groups. I have been legally blind since birth, and have developed a focus on all the other senses and abilities I have to achieve my goals and to help others reach theirs.
