How are you best supporting your children in this world? Sylvia Farbstein has spent the last 2 decades learning how life presents us with unexpected twists and turns that can shake us to our core, stop us in our tracks or provide a catalyst for exciting change. Her professional world took a leap from the predictable and defined realm of private banking in New York City to one of few answers and no blueprint when her son, 21-year-old Brandon, was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism. Their experiences navigating a world not built for somebody like him prompted them to seek out ways to neither be confined nor defined by limitations, perceived or otherwise. This has led to an entrepreneurial career path for both mother and son that has impacted millions of lives. In this episode, we have an in-depth conversation about raising your child when there is trauma within the family. Sylvia says that we can make a real change in someone’s life by making positive statements. Plus, Sylvia speaks about how her family has gone through an evolution. All of their experiences have impacted how they became and who they are. Later, Sylvia explains how our children have incredible resiliency and strength. At the very least, our children need their parents to show up authentically for their spirits. One day, Sylvia realized that she had no control over the path of Brandon’s life. She learned to let go and let Brandon live on his own journey. Tune in as we talk about parenting despite challenges, how Sylvia and Brandon are navigating Covid, and what Sylvia would tell a former version of herself. In This Episode: About Sylvia Farbstein [ 2:20 ] How Sylvia found hope after Brandon’s diagnosis [ 10:40 ] Who Brandon is today [ 16:10 ] The importance of showing up authentically for your kids [ 30:20 ] Learning to be okay with the obstacles in life [ 37:10 ] How Brandon and Sylvia are navigating pandemic challenges [ 43:45 ] What Sylvia would tell a former version of herself [ 49:10 ] Quotes: “Embrace all the differences.” “We don’t have to protect our kids from the hard stuff.” “When we surrender to the outcome, it’s not always going to be good.” “Sometimes, you have to show up and encourage people to try new things.” “Now is the time for us to take more risks and put ourselves out there.” “Show your kids that life does not end because there’s a pandemic.” Links Mentioned:  Sara’s Facebook Live Boldly Walk Through This Join My Retreats Speak Beyond Words on Facebook Speak Beyond Words on Instagram Speak Beyond Words on LinkedIn Brandon’s Instagram

We are ALL affected by the Coronavirus pandemic, and many of us are coping with the collective fear with comfort food, cozy pajamas and Netflix. And while we do need to give ourselves time to process the emotions and rest, we can’t get stuck there. So, what can we do to show up as leaders—even though we can’t leave the house? Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia offers practical tips on how to achieve high performance at home. She describes the delicate dance between giving ourselves time to retreat and be with our emotions and then moving into action. Sylvia challenges us to explore our zone of genius, get into that state of flow first thing in the morning, and find ways to carry that energy throughout the day. Listen in for insight on identifying what makes you come ALIVE and leveraging that feeling of joy and fulfillment to stay inspired during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Difficult circumstances are fertile ground for bringing out the best in us as leaders. But we don’t have to go through the eye of the hurricane ourselves to develop the new leadership traits Sylvia identified in dealing with her father’s death. In fact, we can consciously hone the skills in our daily lives and enjoy the 3 hyper states that emerge as a result. Today, Sylvia introduces the 3 hyper states that result from applying the new leadership traits—hyper presence, hyper intentionality and hyper love. She shares the heightened sense of awareness that characterizes hyper presence, explaining how it afforded her clear inner guidance and made decision-making easy. Sylvia goes on to explore the paradox around hyper intentionality, discussing how the state involves having clear goals—while being utterly aligned with flow. Listen in for insight into Sylvia’s kinesthetic experience of hyper love and learn how to reverse engineer the 3 hyper states by feeling them fully in your body.

Are you someone who feels like you don’t know what you like or what you’re good at? Do you feel like your life is so busy with work or parenthood, that you don’t even have the time to figure it out? Trust me. We can relate. Sylvia Ray says she didn’t know what she liked or was good at throughout most of her life. After becoming a mom of 2 young boys, she started feeling antsy but completely clueless about what she wanted to do. Sylvia finally found the passion she had been looking for her entire life through filmmaking. Using what little time she had, she explored and looked for inspiration where she could, eventually teaching herself how to write, edit, produce and direct films. And in just 2 short years (without going to school!), her films have been screened coast to coast, her work has been featured on major websites like The Huffington Post, and more. In this episode she shares about her journey from feeling stuck, to working through her fears of sharing her work, to become a rising filmmaker - all while being a busy mom of 2 young boys.   Mentioned in this episode: The steps Sylvia took to start exploring what she liked and was good at Her first steps to learning how to become a filmmaker without going to school What one of the best gifts about being a new creative is How to create your work while being a stay at home mom How to balance the struggle with parenting and working How moms without help and a support system can start to explore their creativity How Sylvia gets used to her work being rejected and why keeping perspective is so essential Her advice for those who have no idea what they want to do Her process for filmmaking and getting her work out there How her Korean/Mexican identity influences her storytelling and work What an executive at NBC told her that shifted her mindset How exploring your creativity can feel like therapy (in a good way!)

When faced with a difficult situation or problem, we resist. We get stuck in victimhood, anger and resentment. So, how do we rescue ourselves from struggle and overwhelm? What if I told you it’s possible to bring yourself back into power with just ONE question? Today on the podcast, Sylvia explores the idea that what you resist persists, explaining her own recent personal experience with a difficult set of circumstances around her parents’ health and her changing business. She describes the connection between perception and experience, discussing the necessity of shifting out of resistance to an open-minded, solution-focused state. Sylvia walks us through several iterations of the question she leveraged to reconnect with her inner wisdom, encouraging you to find the one that resonates with you—or create your own. Listen in to understand the insights Sylvia gained via this technique and learn how your sense of freedom and power is just one question away!
