Podcast appearances and mentions of Michaela Haas

„Frauen gehören an den Herd!“ - Jahrhunderte hat es gedauert, bis solche und ähnliche Sprüche allgemein als das verurteilt wurden, was sie sind: Als ein Herd für Ungerechtigkeit, angeheizt von männlicher Arroganz und überkochend in weiblicher Unterdrückung. Allgemein verurteilt? Offenbar nicht. Denn traditionelle Rollenbilder werden seit einiger Zeit wieder häufiger propagiert. Und dieser Trend - so befürchten viele (sinngemäß mit Goethes Worten) - „verpestet alles schon Errungene“, was die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter angeht. Um Missverständnissen vorzubeugen: Kein Lebensentwurf ist per se schlechter als der andere. Und: An den Herd gehören letztlich alle, die dort etwas Gutes zubereiten. Nur eben unabhängig vom Geschlecht. Und ohne dass die einen über die anderen verfügen. Aber in jeder Gesellschaft sind Vorbilder wichtig, z.B. auch in den sozialen Medien. Welche Folgen hat es also, wenn dort Männer ihrem Hass auf unabhängige und selbstbewusste Frauen und ihren männlichen Machtfantasien freien Lauf lassen und zugleich junge Influencerinnen für ein Beziehungsmodell werben, in dem „sie“ Gefallen daran findet, sich „ihm“ unterzuordnen? Das fragen wir die Kulturhistorikerin Evke Rulffes („Die Erfindung der Hausfrau - Geschichte einer Entwertung“), den Männerforscher Christoph May, die „Digitalpfarrerin“ Theresa Brückner und die Journalistin Susanne Kaiser („Backlash - Die neue Gewalt gegen Frauen“) Podcast-Tipp: Im SWR Kultur Forum gibt's eine spannende Diskussion rund um das Thema Tradwives. Kinder, Küche, Klamotten - Wofür steht die Tradwives-Bewegung? Nur Hausfrau sein ist schon lange out. Emanzipierte Frauen beweisen sich im Arbeitsleben und kämpfen für Gleichstellung - auch wenn der Spagat zwischen Familie und Job stressig ist. Das muss nicht sein, sagen die sogenannten Tradwives, die sich in den sozialen Medien als glückliche traditionelle Hausfrauen inszenieren: beim Kochen, Putzen und Kinderhüten. Was steckt hinter dieser Rückkehr zur Hausfrauenidylle? Ist die Tradwives-Bewegung rechts und reaktionär? Doris Maull diskutiert mit Prof. Dr. Margreth Lünenborg - Kommunikationswissenschaftlerin, FU Berlin; Minusch Afonso - Host beim Lila Podcast; Michaela Haas - freie Journalistin in San Diego https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/forum/kinder-kueche-klamotten-wofuer-steht-die-tradwives-bewegung/swr-kultur/13644509/

Der amerikanische Lebensstil, geprägt von Fast Food und Bewegungsmangel, hat gravierende Folgen für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung. Chronische Erkrankungen wie Diabetes, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und Adipositas sind weit verbreitet. Doch es gibt auch positive Entwicklungen: Die Longevity-Bewegung gewinnt an Fahrt und treibt die Forschung zu Anti-Aging-Technologien und personalisierter Medizin voran. Gesundheit ist ein zentrales Thema im aktuellen US-Wahlkampf, und die Wahlentscheidung wird erheblichen Einfluss auf die Zukunft des Gesundheitssystems haben. Kann die Politik den entscheidenden Wandel herbeiführen? Dr. Michaela Haas, Journalistin und Autorin, berichtet aus erster Hand über die Herausforderungen in den USA. Ihre Artikel erscheinen unter anderem in der New York Times und der Washington Post.

Michaela Haas, Ph.D., an award-winning reporter and author of three non-fiction books, wrote her most recent book looking for answers to a chronic health issue she experienced. Two psychologists, Richard G. Tedeschi, Ph.D., and Lawrence Calhoun, Ph.D., coined the term "post-traumatic growth" from their work with survivors. Michaela wondered how other people navigate through trauma, illness, and death.In "Bouncing Forward: The Art and Science of Cultivating Resilience," Michaela interviews iconic "mavens of post-traumatic growth," including Writer and Civil Rights Activist Mia Angelou, ex-POW Brigadier General Rhonda Cornum, famed jazz guitarist and Holocaust survivor Coco Schumann, Buddhist Teacher Roshi Bernie Glassman, and many more.Michaela gravitated toward Mia Angelou's definition of resilience. As opposed to bouncing forward, resilience explains that we can never bounce back; we will never be the same after that loss, but we can forge a path ahead, and it's not something that happens immediately.She discovered a change in five different areas of their lives:Personal strengthDeeper relationships with othersNewer perspectives on lifeA new appreciation for lifeA change of spiritualityMichaela emphasizes that one of the essential components of resilience is joining like community and sharing your experience. "No one can do it on their own," she said. "Finding support is the most crucial step." She now defines herself as a solutions journalist, seeking stories of effective, reproducible solutions to society's most pressing issues.Michaela is a contributing editor for David Byrne's Reasons to be Cheerful and has been writing for the New York Times, AlJazeera, Rotary International, the Huffington Post, CBS, and numerous other media.

Trauma, whether from the horrors of war or the loss of a loved one, can feel insurmountable to those experiencing it. In this episode, our podcast team explores stories of hard-won recovery — and even growth. We talk with Zach Skiles, a veteran of the Iraq war who became homeless, began to heal at a veteran's facility with support from Rotary members, and is now a clinical psychologist at the Portland, Oregon VA Medical Center; and Michaela Haas, a journalist and author who has researched post-traumatic growth.

"To be content with little is hard; to be content with much, impossible." - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach In the midst of this holiday season, what better time to take pause and celebrate the amazing blessings already present in our lives. For the past five years, every podcast guest has been asked a series of rapid-fire questions known as the Live Inspired 7. The third question is: Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? Join me as I share what I would retrieve. Plus, I share some of the most remarkable responses that remind us that real joy, real peace and real love are seldom wrapped and almost never found under the tree. SHOW NOTES: What would you go back in and save? These past Live Inspired Podcast guests share the important reminder that real joy, peace and love are seldom wrapped and found under the tree. Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lauren Daigle from ep. 248. Bestselling author and post-traumatic growth expert Michaela Haas from ep. 4. Former Navy fighter pilot and POW Charlie Plumb. Hear our entire conversation here. Congressional Gold Medal Recipient Carlotta Wells LaNier from ep. 56. Apollo 13 Spacecraft Commander Captain Jim Lovell from ep. 90. Entrepreneur, executive headhunter, nonprofit developer Laura Gassner-Ottig from ep. 152.  Author + law reform advocate Jeanne Bishop from ep. 246. Most common responses: Photos, Bible (including Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny), computer, journals, guitars... and nothing. Unexpected answers: Legendary entertainer John Tesh would go in for his 9-foot grand piano. Rebekah Gregory, a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing would save her waterproof prosthetic leg Ariel because nothing sets my soul more on fire than being at the beach. Well-known standup comic Sebastian Maniscalco, goes back in for cheese since his wife and kids are out safely! Bestselling author of The Shack, William Paul Young would retrieve a first edition George McDonnell Unspoken Sermons book. Amy Wolff, the mastermind behind a life-saving global movement, would save a carved piece of wood from her late brother. Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr would retrieve a letter he wrote to himself after his consecutive inning streak ended in September 1987.  Seth Godin, 20-time bestselling author, would fetch a canoe paddle he carved for his wife in 1979.

Former Navy fighter pilot Captain Charlie Plumb is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Scheduled to be his 75th and final mission in Vietnam, Charlie's F-4 Phantom Jet was shot down + captured. He'd spend the next 2,103 days isolated + tortured in North Vietnamese Prisoner of War camps. Four years ago I had the honor of having Charlie on the show + during our conversation, he deeply moved me when he attributed his survival to his faith and ability to forgive. Today, I'm sharing a fresh cut of this episode with you because the lessons within it have never been more relevant: Purpose provides the strength to endure the unthinkable  Appreciating the value of challenge No matter how your 2021 has looked so far, Charlie's story will remind you that the best is yet to come. SHOW NOTES: “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” ― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning The POWs held captive the longest came back with a lower rate of PTSD because great leadership unified us under a mission statement: Return with honor. Charlie mentions past guest Michaela Haas and how we can actually cultivate resilience through post traumatic grown. Learn more on Live Inspired Podcast ep. 4 here. Against therapists advice, Charlie was never bitter about his first wife filing for divorce without his knowledge and instead chose to appreciate how it fueled his hope to survive. Captain Charlie Plumb's advice for those who feel imprisoned: Look at the value of challenge. Adversity is a horrible thing to waste. Take a risk + get outside your comfort zone. Build a community of support. My conversation with Captain Charlie Plumb first aired in May 2017. Listen to that here.  

It's the little things you do that make a relationship work. On today's episode, the happy couple and empty nesters, Sue and Mike, talk about relationships, parenthood, and personal growth. Sue and Mike have two boys, Josh and Zach. Their lives revolved around their kids and they did everything as a family. But now that their kids have grown and left their home, the couple shares how their life has changed since. They also share some valuable insights into what makes a relationship work. Many couples take each other for granted. And their story is a beautiful reminder of how we all need to invest in a relationship. It takes work and it needs consistency – but it doesn't mean you can't have any fun too! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Empty nesting is a lot of fun because you have more time for each other as a couple, more time for travel and for yourself. Even if you're super family-oriented, you still have to keep marriage a priority or something may fall apart. Invest in your relationship and strive for consistency. The more effort you put into a relationship, the more you get back from it. Think about things you can do together (ex. bike riding, coffee, and fun trips!) It takes work to make a relationship work. It's fun, it could be flirty, whatever that looks like for you. Flirting should never stop between a couple. Give each other compliments. Get feedback from your partner about what you should work on to be better for the other person so you're both working on your personal development as well. Never be satisfied with yourself. Always strive to be better. Failure is what keeps people from trying. So don't think, just do! There are a lot of ways to still connect with your kids and support them even if they've left home.

Today, we’ll discuss groundbreaking research that illustrates how love, friendship, environment and a sense of purpose have a greater impact on our health than the care we receive from our doctors. Astounding – and true! Dr. Kelli Harding joins us to share about her new book The Rabbit Effect which makes a compelling case for treating others with kindness and living inspired (hey, your health depends on it!). Don’t miss this fun, warm and life-changing conversation. SHOW NOTES: As a child, Kelli loved science + helping others which led her to pursue medicine.  During medical school, Kelli became intrigued with what was going on inside the body and the environment it was surround by and how that affected health. The Rabbit Effect: Dr. Robert Nerem's experiment involving genetically similar rabbits fed the same high-fat diet inspired Kelli because the kindness + company of a lab researcher kept one group healthier. Bella + Daisy: One paper, Bella is on death's door yet is functioning well when you meet her whereas Daisy is not thriving but it can't be explained with standard tests. "Our social world is changing our biology." The power of touch: A growing body of research shows that hugs and physical touch are protective towards illness.   "A faithful friend is the medicine of life." - Ecclesiasticus proverb Kelli shares how telomeres, the "caps" to our DNA, protect our DNA and interplay with our social environment.  Find ways to boost your connection to your community and buffer how stress affects you to live a happier, healthier life. Learn to recognize that stress isn't necessarily bad, it's how you respond to it. Navigate stress by meditating, exercising, building meaningful connections, practicing kindness and having a sense of purpose. "The goal isn't to live forever. It's to live well within the days that are given." Adverse Childhood Experiences: The higher your ACE score increases your risk for diseases causing long-term health effects decades later. Kelli emphasizes the important of Post Traumatic Growth and finding opportunities to grow from the experiences that happened to us. "True health is hidden in the million tiny moments of everyday life." "People are just a collection of tissue, of muscle, of ligament and of bone. Expect of course, they’re not." Get Dr. Kelli Harding's The Rabbit Effect here. If you enjoyed learning about Post Traumatic Growth, you'll love hearing from Live Inspired guest Michaela Haas. Michaela shares how her research can lead overcome trauma and lead to a deeper understanding of strength. Listen to Michaela Haas on ep. 4 here. DR.

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande and Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck. 2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? I have to work on being silly. I have a good sense of humor but think I can lighten up a little more. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out.

My husband or my mother. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Institutions don't love you back so dedicate your time to things that are important but at the same time it's the people that are important. 6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?

Dr. Laurie Nadel, a psychologist specializing in overcoming trauma, has helped people impacted by the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Sandy and, most recently, the mass shooting in Parkland, FL. Today, Laurie joins us to talk about how to live inspired after our personal tragedies. Whether divorce, bankruptcy, a natural disaster or anything in between: A "trauma" is anything that leaves you feeling like you've lost your control, your safety or your identity. My friends, we've all had challenges. Today's episode will directly help you overcome yours. SHOW NOTES: If you like this podcast, you will love Live Inspired IN STUDIO. It's my membership community where like-minded friends join me via live webcast to live inspired together. Registration opens soon! Join the waitlist. Dr. Laurie Nadel shared how she was able to better relate to her mother after learning about the Myers Briggs personality types. Dr. Laurie Nadel's first book was a 4-time bestseller + on Oprah's book club twice: Sixth Sense: The Whole-Brain Book of Intuition, Hunchies, Gut Feelings, and Their Place in Your Everyday Life  "This book changes lives, in terms of understanding how how you think and process who you are." Her most recent book came out in April 2018: The Five Gifts: Discovering Hope, Healing and Strength When Disaster Strikes "This is a tool for people in the midst of tragedy. Open it and something will pop out you can use for self care." The 5 Gifts: humility, patience, empathy, forgiveness, growth.  Something like a school shooting or natural disaster, they rip away the fabric of what we thought normal was. When they occur, we have to find a way of balancing in the midst of emotional chaos for sometime. You can swipe it away when you see it on your screen, but when it happens to you in real life, you can’t change the channel. At a certain point you're out of shock and can start to think about next week instead of just getting through the day. When we start to feel like we can get through a week is when we have the strength or enlarged capacity to connect with people as a result of what we’ve been through. Three Cycles of Loss (when you can't go back to who you were before the injury, car accident, bankruptcy, tragic event): Loss of control of your physical environment. Loss of safety, you may be emotionally fragile. Loss of identity / who you are now. For another "Live Inspired" take on this topic, check out Ep. #4 with Michaela Haas as she explores + explains: Post Traumatic Growth. DR. LAURIE NADEL’S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Catcher in the Rye and Catch 22. These two seminal books of the 60s have characters who are authentic and think in questions. They question authority. I admire them and hope I never stop questioning.  2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? My imagination has been tempered by reality and the real world. I was an excellent creative writer, I made up stories. I wish I had a more active imagination. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? I would have grabbed the original edition of the Wizard of Oz that I was saving for my grandchildren. The beautiful books from my childhood were destroyed in Hurricane Sandy. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Dan Rather, I’m fortunate and privileged that he has been my mentor, believer and supporter of my book. I’m always fascinated by what he has to say with where we are now in America as compared to all of the cycles he has seen in the course of his lifetime and what we can learn from that to move forward and be more empathetic. 5. What is the best advice you've ever received? Dan always gives me great advice: Just keep writing. 6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Calm down a little bit. I was definitely wild. I wouldn’t want to clip her wings or put the breaks on, but I have a lot of people who come into my practice for therapy in their mid to late 20s because what we learn during this season is that the rules of life and family culture we learn through childhood don’t always apply to the world at large. The world is very different when you actually get out there and have to make your way in it. Be careful but be open. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read She was a great mom and great friend. *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe, rate & review wherever you get your podcasts. See you here next Thursday!

"We found ourselves in parachutes floating down over enemy territory." Charlie Plumb spent his impoverished yet idyllic childhood in Kansas "kicking cans and playing in the light of the moon.” When it was time for college, he won a scholarship and hopped on a Greyhound bus to the military academy in Annapolis. After graduating from the Naval Academy, he immediately married his high school sweet heart and went onto flight training. In 1963 he was in Vietnam and on his 75th mission, his plane was shot down. Charlie says what got him through captivity was his "why" or his purpose -- coming home safely to his bride. Years later when he finally got off enemy soil and called her, she shared that she had filed for divorce and was engaged to another man. Charlie was never bitter. He didn't regret not knowing that his wife had moved on. "I thought, how can I be unhappy? I’ve just been released from prison. 24/7 I didn’t know if I’d be alive [and today I'm free] you can’t rain on my parade." Charlie's spirit captivated John and Charlie is one of the reasons John so vulnerably shares his story today. In honor of Memorial Day, it is our honor to share the story of Charlie Plumb, an American Hero. He will inspire you to never take your freedom or life for granted.  SHOW NOTES: Charlie learned about forgiveness from his mom and discipline from his dad. Both were qualities he needed to survive the prison camps.  Critical to suriving: Keeping your sense of humor Finding a way to communicate with each other. "The importance of the communication wasn't the thought we were passing around it was the validation of another human being. Having faith that there was a purpose to this [being shot down]. Remembering you have a choice. The first few months I was bitter. But I realized I was killing myself by not knowing my purpose. I figured if their was a why, I’d find a way to so survive. Those there longest (POWs) came back with a lower rate of PTSD because great leadership unified us under a mission statement: Return with honor. (Listen here to past podcast guest, Michaela Haas, expert on Post Traumatic Growth.) What was your why/purpose? My bride. I planned our next 20 years on how I’d make it up to her. People ask if I wish I'd known she was going to divorce me. No, planning 20 birthdays, anniversaries, etc. is what got me through. Therapists told me: You gotta get bitter! The longer you wait the more difficult it will be and you’ll have a mental break down. My thought process: How can I be unhappy? I’ve just been released from prison. 24/7 I didn’t know if I’d be alive - you can’t rain on my parade. I ran into the man who packed my parachute. He said. "I’m not the only parachute packer in your life. Your parents, big sister, little brother, preacher, coaches, they are the ones who allowed you safe descent and passage through those 6.5 years." Who packs your parachute? Whose are you packing? Advice for anyone in-prisoned: Look at the value of challenge. Adversity is a horrible thing to waste. Don’t blame other people for your problems, because away goes your opportunity to be better bc of the problem you’re facing.  Get Charlie's book I'm No Hero here.

I keep that cup just to remind me of the challenges I face and the value of the challenge. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? My mother. She endured so much while I was over there, but never placed blame. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. The longer I live, the more I appreciate her approach to forgiveness. I'd love to talk to her about how to forgive the unforgivable. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? A coach told me it wasn’t the things around me that would change my life, it’s the choices you make about the things around you. You can choose to be a loser or a winner or choose to give away that choice. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? Believe in a purpose as the highest priority. 7.

Let's move our focus from the cold winter to where the sun is shining: Spring! One of my favorite parts of spring is March Madness. I love sports, I love baseball and I love the race to the final game (especially when the underdog wins).  Most importantly, after the final game, I love when they play the Luther Vandross song, One Shining Moment, while showing the highlights of the best plays from the entire tournament. They tie it all together and today, I am going to do something similar for you.  On today's episode, I'll recap each of my guests from Season 1 and my main takeaway from each. So many great tips on living inspired. Here we go! Susan O'Leary [my mom, author, speaker, mother, Christian leader] Mom  helped me kick off the season talking about life, the fire that change everything and her insights on resilience, faith, family and redemption.   Brian Buffini [business owner, speaker & author] He shared the question his grandfather asked when reviewing work for the family painting business: "Can you put your name on it?" If the answer wasn't yes it had to be fixed. That tangible work ethic is the foundation of Brian's success today. Teri Griege [author, ironman athlete, cancer survivor] Addiction and cancer threatened her life; grace, endurance and hope gave it back. Teri will remind you what is TRULY possible when you stop making excuses. Joe Buck [World Series sports announcer, son of my hero Jack, author] Had his his first interview about his new book Lucky Bastard with us! He shared about being the son of my hero, the greatest gift he received from his daughter which offered us all a reminder that: Perspective truly matters. Michaela Haas [author, journalist, fellow sojourner] Her book Bouncing Forward was my favorite this year covering a life-changing topic: "Post traumatic growth." Rory Vaden [bestselling author and self-discipline expert] "Discipline becomes dormant in the absence of a dream; so DREAM BIG." And SO MANY amazing nuggets like this one. Dave Ramsey [bestselling author, nationally syndicated radio host] You do not want to miss this opportunity to hear Dave on the other side of the microphone! He shares amazing humility, humor and financial tips. Kathy Buckley [author, speaker, comedian, overcomer] She is a model for keeping joy, humor, determination and passion for people through life's tribulations. As a deaf comedian, she has garnered special tools she shares with us to improve our own relationships and lives. Don Yaeger [9 time bestselling author; journalist] Wrote 25 books, many nonfiction about some of the biggest names in sports history. Don shares the biggest lessons he learned from these legendary people.  Rachel Macy Stafford [NYT Bestselling author and founder of Hands Free Mama] Shares beautiful lessons about setting aside daily distractions so that you can have your best life today. She asks us a poignant question: How will you redefine your success for yourself this year? Tom Ziglar [Son of Zig, bestselling author, podcaster, CEO of Ziglar Inc.] Tom will walk you through the "zombie cure" or sleep walking through life. Today's guest is former St. Louis Blues Hockey hero, Gino Cavallini. You'll love hearing the live reunion from my ON FIRE book launch party.

Michaela Haas is the author of "Bouncing Forward: Transforming Bad Breaks Into Breakthroughs". She explores how we find healing and resilience after major setbacks and emerge even stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. She shares some of the proven methods that we can use to survive and thrive in the face of challenges.

No matter what you are going through, you will get through it. I met today’s guest, German-born, bestselling author, journalist and teacher of resilience Michaela Haas, earlier this year when she interviewed me for her column in the “New York Times of Germany.” Michaela wanted to share about my book ON FIRE because in her writing and research, she focuses on the topic of Post Traumatic Growth. I was so enamored with this topic that I immediately got a copy of her book Bouncing Forward and invited her to be on this podcast! Through the pages of her book and my time interviewing her, I met some of my new, favorite heroes; each of whom are amazing examples of Living Inspired. Michaela will give you so much to think about today! Most importantly: No matter what you’re going through, her research shows, you WILL get through it. But you have to work for it. You have to reach out. You have to speak out. And you have to make space to confront your pain. Learn more about the fascinating Coco Schumann here. If you've not read it, order Michaela's favorite book by Maya Angelou Why the Cage Bird Sings here. Order Michaela's book Bouncing Forward here. The LIVE INSPIRED 7 segment is a series of 7 questions, shared "rapid fire" and answered boldly (without prep!) by our guests. My hope is to leave you reflecting on our guest's answers and YOUR answers... and excited to apply ideas from today's show to help you live an inspired life.  Michaela Haas' Live Inspired 7 1. What is the best book you ever read? Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do? First, I would mourn him. Second, I am a rescuer so I would donate most of the money to good causes that rescue people (suicide prevention, trauma prevention) and some to rescue animals. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? My sister-in-law lost her 3-year-old daughter. We have a recording of her voice that says "you're my best friend" it's in a little cube with her picture. I would definitely grab that cube. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Buddha. I am a Buddhist and no one really knows what his true words were because no one wrote them down during his lifetime. So to have an opportunity to actually speak with him, that would be wonderful! 5. What is the best advice you've ever received? Let go. Easily said though very hard to do. But when I hold onto injustice or loss - I repeat this to myself because there is really no other choice anyway. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? Appreciate life. I had so many worries then - but I had it all! I was healthy. Following my dreams and pursuing my career and travelling the world. I wish that instead of having my mind full of worry, that I would have been more grateful and present. 7. It's been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? Love. Light. She made a difference. ***  If you enjoyed today's episode, subscribe, rate and review this podcast on iTunes and anywhere you get your podcasts!

Today my spotlight is on the studies of Michaela Haas, PhD and the experiences that she has had that led to the writing of her book, Bouncing Forward. Michaela draws from her conversations with civil rights icon Maya Angelou, autistic pioneer Temple Grandin, and famed jazz guitarist Coco Shumann, who played for his life in Aushwitz. This is a powerful conversation about resilience and reshaping the way we think about crisis. Scholar, Author, reporter and television host Michaela Haas connects cutting-edge research to ancient Buddhist wisdom as a twenty year student of meditation, and she discusses a holistic context for growth and healing.

A cancer diagnosis. Death. Divorce. Abuse. The loss of a job or a home. Everyone will face at least one traumatic experience in their lives. Host Melanie Young and Michaela Haas, PhD., discuss the process of post-traumatic growth as part of the recovery process. In "Bouncing Forward: Transforming Bad Breaks into Breakthroughs," Dr Haas interviews survivors of trauma who share the "Why" (their purpose) that held them together and helped them pursue a greater good for themselves and for others. This show is broadcast live on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Traumatic events happen all the time, and the secret is knowing how to “bounce forward” and transform the negative events into dynamic growth and greater good. Diane and best selling author, Michaela Haas talk about over coming trauma and “post-traumatic growth”. What is “post traumatic growth”? Post traumatic growth is the benefit we can derive from experiencing a crisis. Almost every trauma survivor thinks that they could never lead a happy life again, however, the science of post traumatic growth offers an entirely new perspective of trauma and plenty of healing strategies. This perspective of the growth mindset makes a tremendous difference: if you show people how they can grow, they likely will. Today Diane and Michaela take you through the steps needed to “bounce forward”.  Books: Bouncing Forward: Transforming Bad Breaks into Breakthroughs - Michaela Haas PhD Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Bouncing-Forward-Transforming-Breaks-Breakthroughs/dp/150111512X   Contact Diane: Email me at: feedback@DianeRandallConsults.com Visit the website: http://www.dianerandallconsults.com Tell us what you think about this episode by leaving a comment or voice mail: http://www.balanced-living-for-busy-professionals.com  

Today we will be hearing the story of how music saved the life of Coco Schumman in Germany as he grew up.  Mr. Schumman was one of the musicians that survived and he chooses to live life and thrive.Our guest today is Michaela Haas, co-author of The Ghetto Swinger:  A Berlin Jazz-Legend Remembers, the life story of Coco Schumann by Mr. Schumann.  The legendary jazz musician was forced to entertain Nazi's and serenade Jews as they were marched to the gas chambers.  However, Schumann doesn't want to be labeled as a Holocaust survivor, but as living proof of the ultimate beauty and power of music.For more information:  Coco Schumann's music is available on iTunes and the book is available on www.MichaelaHaas.com

Brigadier General, Dr. Rhonda Cornum is tough and gentle.  I find the two are often a package deal.   In today's interview with  Brigadier General and Physician Rhonda Cornum, we will learn that resilience can be taught, learned and even mastered. However, here is the best part...whether you are a civilian or in the military or even feel like the walking wounded today’s episode is for you. After surviving a helicopter crash while on a rescue mission during the first Iraq war General Cornum was then taken prisoner. if that isn’t a petri dish to test one’s resilience, I don’t know what is.  Gen. Cornum is well acquainted with the double-edged sword of hardship, but as you will soon learn, she is also adamant about not being defined by those experiences... except in terms of lessons learned. When Dr. Cornum returned back to the States after being rescued, people were often confused when she would explain that instead of experiencing PTSD, she felt stronger because of her experience. As Dr. Michaela Haas notes in her book Bouncing Forward, in the early 1990s, the term “post traumatic growth” had not yet been discovered. Instead of blindly accepting what some consider constricting labels that trauma survivors are given, Dr. Cornum focused on re-claiming the agency over what she could control. Before she retired from the military, Dr. Cornum developed the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program, which not only helps boost resilience in troops, but can help all of us in everyday life. Rhonda’s story is a reminder that the human spirit is capable of surmounting unimaginable challenges, and that if anything, living through a near-death situation can make life that much more precious and cherished.

Dr. Michaela Haas has written an important book, "Bouncing Forward."  Most of us are familiar with PTSD, but post traumatic growth may be a new concept altogether. The idea of post traumatic growth suggests that we’ll grow after a trauma...all you have to do is experience one for that to be questionable at least while it’s occurring.  The fact is that research is proving that there is growth especially and even after trauma. And, trauma comes in many iterations.  We have probably all experienced trauma in one form or another: from losing a loved one to being in a car crash. Dr. Michaela Haas has not only researched post-traumatic growth...she has also experienced it first hand.  She has consolidated twelve stories of resilience, growth and wisdom in her recently released book, Bouncing Forward and she is here during this episode to share much of what she has learned.  Dr. Haas proposes a different way to look at crisis; that while there is undoubtedly immense pain, there is also potential breakthrough and a silver lining.
