Shannan Mondor underwent a profound transformation on August 17, 2019, when she resolved to break free from the grip of alcoholism and confront the lifelong pain and fear that had haunted her. Raised in an environment where she was constantly belittled and subjected to physical and mental abuse by a family member, Shannan internalized the negative messages that she was stupid, good for nothing, and would never amount to anything, leading to a lack of self-worth, depression, and a sense of loneliness. Today, Shannan Mondor is a best-selling author of the book; How in the Hell Did I Get Here? Forever Changing the Genetic Blueprint, a podcast host, TEDx speaker, and Transformational Mentor. To fit in and gain approval, Shannan became a people pleaser and allowed others to control her life, ultimately losing her true identity. Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism, she found herself caught in a destructive cycle. However, Shannan's journey took a pivotal turn when she realized that the negative identity she carried for five decades belonged to her abusers, and the generational cycle of addiction and damaging beliefs needed to be broken. Motivated by a desire to provide a better life for her children and future generations, Shannan decided to challenge the normalized patterns of addiction, mental illness, and abuse that spanned four generations in her family. Recognizing that she held the power to effect change, she embarked on a path of self-discovery and growth. Shannan's journey led her to the profound realization that she had more to explore and learn about herself. Along the way, she felt a calling to share her experiences, both positive and negative, to help and teach others.

This week we have a little bit of sad news. After much discussion and consternation, I and my sisters have decided to put How in the HELL Did I Get Here on hiatus. We might be back and we might not.   This wasn’t an easy decision, but life changes and it just seems like the right thing to do for right now.   I want to say a huge thank you to you, our listener… and a huge thank you to my sisters for indulging my dream of creating this podcast. It wouldn’t have been possible without either you or the sisters. So, thank you so much. Seriously, the support you’ve given us and the fact that we have people listening from around the world every week still blows my mind and fills me with awe and gratitude.   And, if you really miss me, you can find me at my other podcast the Fall in Love with Yourself Toolkit where I’m dishing out advice for your week, and other fun information. You might even hear a sister or two over there from time to time.   For the time being, you can still catch us on Fridays on How in the HELL Did I get here Shorts which are stories pulled from the archives of How in the Hell did I get here. The plan is to keep that going for as long as it makes sense, so for you die-hard fans you can still get your fix on Friday mornings.   This week we have three stories for you, one from Jenny, one from me and one from a listener and I don’t think they have anything in common… except of course all of us wondering How in the HELL did I Get Here?    Join us on Facebook! bit.ly/FacebookHITH Support the show! https://buymeacoffee.com/thecoloringbookcoach Thanks to our Storytellers: Kim A.

Kim Flodin is an absolute joy and inspires me daily.Trigger warning this episode contains swear words.Our Lives Flashed Before Our Eyes During the Avalanche... of Bubbles If you’ve been listening, you know that we are part of a big family… I’m the oldest of 7 in a family of five girls and two boys and our mom was the oldest of eight in a family with 3 brothers and 5 girls and these were the people who taught us that if you weren't laughing at life's craziness, you were doing it wrong.A big extended family also came with other perks – one was cousins! And, lots of them! Two, we had big family get-togethers filled with lots of laughter, smartassery and shenanigans and three, our summers were filled with staying with our cousins at their various houses or having them come to stay with us! I’d venture a guess that for a lot of us cousins in our large extended family, those family swaps during the summer months hold some of our best and most unforgettable memories. We didn’t go on family vacations, so going to a cousin’s house in the far off land of Wisconsin for a stay was a big deal!Today’s episode as told by our sister Erin and our cousin Heather is about one of those summer stays with our Aunt Annie, who was, as Heather calls her… “the fancy aunt”. I’m going to take a moment to give Annie a should out and wish her a belated 75th birthday!

Yep! He gets into all kinds of bizarre discussions with his riders.As usual, today's episode contains swear words. And the first story Fred shares includes some very X rated behavior by a passenger.

The world is in need of strong, intelligent voices. Should those voices be wasted on fiction? Should writers be spending their hours in more important pursuits than playing make believe on the page? This week Nicole addresses the question of whether or not writers are wasting their time when they write fiction. She sites research that underscores the magnitude of fiction’s impact on our society and celebrates its small victories as well.

In episode 22 of the Stop Writing Alone podcast host Nicole Rivera mentioned her desire to share “what if” questions with the community to serve as writing prompts if there was interest. There was! Community members reached out to Nicole and asked to make it happen, so this week’s episode is the introduction to the what if prompts, as well as the first prompt: WHAT IF MAGIC EXISTS? It’s a broad topic, but Nicole encourages listeners to make it as specific as they need to in order to tell a good story. Nicole also challenges listeners to call in to the podcast using the hotline (646) 907-9607 before JULY 31, 2019 in order to share their writing with the Stop Writing Alone community.

Inspired by the New York Magazine article HOW TO BE AN ARTIST by Jerry Saltz and the mixed feelings from the audiences of the GAME OF THRONES television series, host Nicole Rivera discusses the idea that what we don’t like is as important as what we do like. Whether we are looking for readers or collaborators, knowing what we don’t like can be helpful information. Also recognizing that not everyone is going to like what we do can be liberating as a creative. Nicole discusses these ideas at length and gives listeners some homework which will be followed up on in the Stop Writing Alone facebook community.     Mentioned in this episode: *Any links to Amazon are affiliate links.

Conventions are a fantastic way to expand your writing community. This week host Nicole Rivera shares a mnemonic she developed to describe all of the power (and fun) she has found in conventions over the years: CLASS. CLASS stands for Connection, Learning, Admiration/Autographing, Self-Promotion, and SWAG! For each topic Nicole shares advice (and warnings!) about how to make the most of your convention experience from the planning stage all the way to what you bring home with you. Special features of this episode: Background noises provided by Nicole’s five year old son who was home sick, but healthy enough to have some very active pretend play with his brand new Super Mario toys, and Nicole’s mother-in-law who was busy in the kitchen cooking dinner for the entire family (Nicole’s a lucky lady!).   Mentioned in this episode: *Any links to Amazon are affiliate links.

This week Stop Writing Alone host, Nicole Rivera, is challenging the community to a flash fiction writing celebration of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. Since Nicole has been all wrapped up in series’ conclusion this month, she decided to bring the obsession to the writing community in the form of a writing prompt and challenge. Your job is to write a flash fiction piece (less than 400 words), using the first paragraph of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones as a model and prompt. Call in to the Stop Writing Alone Voice line at (646)907-9607 before May 13, 2019 to record your story and it will be shared on the May 16th episode of Stop Writing Alone!

It’s our first official Stop Writing Alone podcast episode and that feels a lot like the first meeting of a writing group. What do we do in first meetings? We talk about what we are doing here, we introduce ourselves, and we get to work with some writing. In this episode the host, Nicole Rivera, describes her writing journey and path to finding the writing communities -- both online and in real life -- that helped elevate her writing from a private passion to a pursuit for publication. She also provides a writing activity, and invites listeners to introduce themselves as well.   Mentioned in this episode:   For more information on Intracranial Hypertension and to donate: ihrfoundation.org NaNoWrimo: https://nanowrimo.org/ Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/ SI Writers Meetup Page: https://www.meetup.com/StatenIsland-Writers/ PitchWars: https://pitchwars.org/ Austin Aslan’s blog: https://laustinspace.wordpress.com Austin’s Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7392660.Austin_Aslan Nicole’s 2016 PitchWars pitch for GIRL UNPLUGGED: http://pitchwars.org/pw-315-young-adult-speculative-fiction-girl-unplugged/ BookCon: https://www.thebookcon.com/ Natalie Goldberg’s WRITING DOWN THE BONES: https://amzn.to/2WvihaT (*this is an affiliate link.

99 - Close Calls When Travelling

The Thoughtful Travel Podcast

Travel safety is often a concern and I'm sure I'm not the only one who checks government safety advisory messages (often with a grain of salt, it must be said) before I travel to a new destination. But honestly, crazy things can happen whether you're at home or abroad and I tend to agree with Pam Lynch, one of the guests in Episode 99 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, when she talks about the sentiment that either it was meant to be your time or it wasn't. In this episode, I start by talking to Pam about her experience of the Nepal earthquake of 2015. I know Pam well and have heard her speak about this close call many times, and yet every time she tells the tale I end up with goose bumps down my arms and shivers down my spine. You just never know what's around the corner, and Pam tells the tale in a way that will make you think. My second guest is Margarita Pas, a Polish globetrotter now based in the United States, who tells me about a trip she took to Namibia. It's a great warning tale about being prepared and how it's often easy to be poorly prepared when we don't know the place - I know I have sometimes done things abroad I would never be silly enough to do at home, but it's hard to know all the details when you're in an unfamiliar place. Margarita took a rather exciting road trip and came out fine and able to tell the tale - and it's well worth a listen.

86 - Travel and Self Development

One of my very favourite topics in the world is talking (for hours) about why travelling is good for you and all the self development and educational benefits of travelling. Happily, a lot of the guests on The Thoughtful Travel Podcast feel the same way, and in Episode 86 I chat with three women who all agree the benefits of travelling the world are many and varied. First up, I chat with Pam Lynch, who had travelled a lot with her family but really took things to the next level a few years ago when she started travelling solo. She's in no doubt of the importance of travelling in life and describes how much stepping out of her usual comfort zone has impacted her self development. Next, I talk with Anna Kwiecinska about that feeling you get when you just need to travel to a certain place, without any particularly concrete reason that you can explain - but inevitably, you end up discovering a lot about yourself by doing so. Why people travel is an endlessly fascinating question to me and what Anna articulated here is something I've been trying to explain for years! Finally, psychologist Kristen Truempy talks to me about the fear and growth process in the context of her own regular travel experiences. She says something eminently sensible about travel and your comfort zone but you'll have to listen to find out exactly what!

Quick note: Today’s episode includes swearing. And we apologize for the uneven sound quality this week… we had some technical difficulties. We might not have been the most conventional family on the block... One of the things that happens in our family is a chronic under-reaction to crazy things that most people *would most likely have somewhat of a bigger* reaction to.. like, say, a gunshot wound, otherwise known as a GSW. In our family, we hardly bat an eye because it’s just one more crazy thing, right? Especially if no one dies or is seriously injured – maybe its because we come from such a large family – 7 kids, so there’s more possibility of crazy things happening more often *OR* maybe it’s because we’ve all become used to dealing with the man we call Crazy Larry, also known as our dad. Enjoy today’s episode featuring my sister Jenny – it’s all one story that we’re calling Pregnant Cat, Gunshot Wound, Christmas Present. This is Kim A. Flodin and Welcome to How in the Hell Did I Get Here? (Side note: It turns out the BB that came out of our brother Matt was put there by our brother, Kris… so Crazy Larry is off the hook on that one.)
