Tanya Penny, is an OT, Illness & Trauma Guide, Spiritual Alchemist, Arcturian Hybrid, Author of Connect with The Divine You book & journals. She teaches, empowers, and supports you to fully love & be your true Self, heal your body & past trauma, and wake up to the powerful Soul that you are using her Mind-Body-Soul methodology. For 25 years, Tanya experienced anxiety, depression, insomnia, and had issues with weight/eating disorders. In 2004, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. This was her first Soul “wake-up” call that there were some deeper issues in need of love, attention, and release, that medications, lifestyle changes, and medical interventions couldn't touch. It wasn't easy (she had to peel back the layers and really look into her Self) and it wasn't quick (it took years), but she completely healed. Tanya believes there is a place and time for Western medicine, but if you are 100% committed to healing all areas of your life, then it is time to connect with the power of your Soul. Now, she teaches the Therapeutic Meditation Process™ (T.M.P.), and The EVOLVE Keys™, trusting that they will find their way into the hearts and lives of those who need it, and are ready to go deeper on their journey. She has been supporting others through virtual sessions, programs, and in-person workshops & retreats since 2008.   For more information on Dr. Lisa Thompson's products and services visit www.DrLisaJThompson.com

Lisa Thompson has corporate experience that spans software/SaaS, industrial manufacturing, life sciences/healthcare, medtech, fintech, and B2B services. Together with clients, she delivers unique, actionable solutions tailored to their organizational needs and realities leading to profitable, sustainable revenue and growth.  In this episode, Lisa shares the importance of deeply understanding the economic value your product delivers to customers and aligning it with their buying processes, highlighting that many companies fall short in these areas. Through real-world examples, Lisa shows how uncovering the true drivers of customer satisfaction can transform pricing strategies and lead to stronger, more profitable relationships.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Deep dive into the critical importance of understanding and quantifying the economic value your product delivers to customers so you gain actionable insights to refine your approach. Gain valuable guidance on structuring contracts, from incorporating escalators to aligning terms with customer needs, ensuring profitability and flexibility in volatile markets. Learn how to evaluate and select pricing metrics that truly reflect the value customers derive, unlocking hidden revenue opportunities.    "In the metric, understand how you currently charge customers. Not the price level, but the price metric. Double check to see if that aligns with whether they get high value or low value. If it doesn't, we don't necessarily have the right metric. There can be magic and a lot of money in getting the metric right."  - Lisa Thompson   Topics Covered: 01:43 - How she ended up in pricing 03:44 - Why value-based pricing is not simply charging higher prices for more value 05:32 - Highlighting the nuances in pricing strategies, explaining ways to leverage value other than higher prices 11:39 - Sharing a lighthearted story about Tom Nagle's amusing moments 13:37 - Emphasizing what many companies struggle to do with deal structuring 16:50 - Explaining why understanding the economic value of a product must come hand in hand with a deep knowledge of the customer's buying process 23:02 - The need for long-term contracts to include appropriate escalators and de-escalators 26:54 - Why contract structures should align with how customers perceive and experience value 30:59 - Lisa's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: "Just because value's high, it doesn't mean I can always get a high price for it." - Lisa Thompson "One of the things I want people to understand in our work is that getting a price premium or charging more than you used to charge isn't the only way to get paid for adding more value." - Lisa Thompson "We know the value, but that's not the same thing as knowing the buying process." - Lisa Thompson   People/Resources Mentioned: Tom Nagle: https://impactpricing.com/podcast/604-insights-into-value-based-pricing-strategies-for-b2b-with-tom-nagle/ Reed Holden: https://impactpricing.com/podcast/ep97-pricing-in-the-new-normal-with-reed-holden/ Gilette: https://gillette.com   Connect with Lisa Thompson: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-spadafora-thompson/ Email: LThompson@sturbridgegrowthpartners.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

In episode #114 I'm speaking to Lisa Thompson; a world-class mountaineer, cancer survivor, and someone who has made a habit of tackling life's toughest challenges — both on the mountains and off. She's summited Everest, K2, and completed the Seven Summits, which means she's stood on the highest peak of every continent. But what makes Lisa's story so special isn't just the mountains she's climbed—it's how she's used those experiences to push through fear, adversity, and self-doubt. Lisa's journey into mountaineering started with a bit of defiance, and after battling breast cancer, she didn't just return to climbing — she came back stronger, eventually becoming the second American woman to summit K2. Through her company, Alpine Athletics, she now helps others prepare physically and mentally for their own adventures. Her book, Finding Elevation, has been getting some incredible reviews. Chuck Garcia, CEO of Climb Leadership International, describes it as “beautifully written” and a story anyone facing challenges can relate to. Johanna Garton, author of Edge of the Map, called it “an honest and gripping look at the world of high-altitude mountaineering,” while Garrett Madison, the world's premier Everest guide, highlights how Lisa's writing brings readers into the intimate world of fear, self-discovery, and pushing limits.

Chris Valdheims is a domestic adoptee born in the late 1970s and adopted in the early 1980s after spending years of his early childhood in foster care. Growing up, he knew very little about his birth family other than his mother and father had met while she worked as a librarian at MIT. He also knew his father was Black, and his mother had immigrated to the United States from Latvia. He spent years searching for answers about his family of origin, and in 2009, he stumbled upon a complex story that involved his grandfather, a then-unknown geometric artist named Zanis Waldheims. Following the trail from there, he began to unravel the mystery of his family history and, in the process, learn more about himself and where he had come from. His journey took him to Canada, Germany, Latvia, and Lithuania for answers, and he shares the story in a recently completed memoir for which he is currently seeking the right publishing partner. Along the way, he discovered that his father may have been one of the astronauts killed in the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle disaster.He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons and is the founder of a well-known law firm, Counsel for Creators.Chris Valdheims on Instagram.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 18:29Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

Victoria Rich never expected to search for her biological family. Always curious about her origins, she did a photography project at the infant home where she was born but did not pursue any personal searching. Then she read The Girls Who Went Away and was struck that so many of the women interviewed said they thought about and worried about their babies all the time. She had grown up hearing the message that you should never look because it would be too painful to open up the old wounds for the birth mother. After about a decade of debating whether or not to search, New York State opened its adoption records in 2020. She first spoke to her birth mother the week before the pandemic shutdown.

She started her social media pages after her reunion with her biological family.She was raised as an only child in her adoptive family.  This was the first time in her life she had ever seen or been in contact with anyone in her biological family. Her birth mother ignored her and rejected her attempts at reunion. She was a secret to her whole family. Reunion was a rollercoaster of emotions. It opened up feelings she had suppressed. She found writing, being creative, and telling her story was therapeutic. Her pages connected her with others who are experiencing adoption trauma. Since that time she has been educating people on the trauma of adoption and how we can help heal ourselves.  To better deal with her trauma, she became a certified kundalini yoga instructor, TIYT-Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy instructor, and Reiki Master.  With her training in trauma, yoga therapy, and energy healing, she shares these tools online and in person in her weekly yoga classes and workshops.

Adoption: The Making of Me
Roy: For this Neurodiverse Adoptee, Art and Music Helped Him Heal

Adoption: The Making of Me

Born in Edinburgh in 1963, Roy grew up an only child and always knew he was adopted, or as his adoptive mother, Mollie, would tell him, “chosen”. Whilst loved unconditionally by Mollie and her husband Peter, the stigma of being an adopted teenager in 1970s Scotland resulted in Roy being bullied and spat on in school. At sixteen, he left Mollie a note asking if she had any information about his blood parents. She supplied a form his birth mother had filled in at the adoption agency that gave some details but omitted others, including his father's name. Roy became a father himself in his mid-forties, his newborn son being the first blood relation he had consciously laid eyes on. In his early fifties, having had his full adoption papers opened, Roy discovered his mother had made a Transatlantic trip to give birth to him before swiftly returning to her home in Toronto, keeping her pregnancy a lifelong secret. Within a few months, he had found the identity of his father and traveled to Canada, meeting close family on both sides he'd never known he had.Roy has since published a series of poems, Be My Baby, and released a CD, Songs from Be My Baby, relating to his adoption and experiences of neurodiversity which further marked him out as "different" at school and continue to impact his life. Writing and performing help him feel closer to both sets of parents and to understanding himself.I Would Meet You Anywhere by Susan Kiyo Ito.Use Discount  MAKINGOF  for 30% off.Magic Mind - The World's First Productivity Shot™You get 1 month for free when you're subscribing for 3 months at:https://www.magicmind.com/JANmakingofmeCODE: ADOPTION20: It's an extra 20% off, which gets you to a 75% off.

Pam Uzzell is a documentary filmmaker and podcaster currently living in Oakland, CA. She is the director and producer of four independent documentaries and the host and producer of the podcast, Art Heals All Wounds. Her adoptive parents were loving but saw her as the “oddball” of her family, resulting in a profound sense of loneliness. She turned to reading as a way to find a sense of belonging, which led her to gravitate towards storytelling as a career. She'd often been curious about both of her biological parents, but when she was diagnosed with a rare disease at age 30, it felt more crucial to find answers. After making a connection with her birth mother and her extended family years later, no one on that side of the family appears to have this disease. She discovered that her biological father had passed away two years before she found out his name. In all probability, he was the parent who passed this disease down and he had no other children besides her. However, there are unexplained DNA connections on Ancestry that suggest a mystery behind her father's origins. Despite attempts to connect with these connections and get more information, she still has more questions than answers about her father's ancestry and whether there are more biological family members who share this disease.I Would Meet You Anywhere by Susan Kiyo Ito.Use Discount  MAKINGOF  for 30% off.Magic Mind - The World's First Productivity Shot™You get 1 month for free when you're subscribing for 3 months at:https://www.magicmind.com/JANmakingofmeCODE: ADOPTION20: It's an extra 20% off, which gets you to a 75% off.
