Adversity challenges us in ways we don't always expect, but it also offers the chance to uncover resilience, strengthen our mindset, and rethink what truly matters. In this episode, Alex Kaminsky returns to share her story of navigating a bone tumor diagnosis and the physical, mental, and emotional hurdles that came with it. From setbacks in recovery to reevaluating ambitious goals, Alex illustrates how consistency and reflection helped her realign with her passions and rediscover her love for tennis.   Alex's journey reminds us how slowing down, embracing gratitude, and aligning our goals with our values can turn adversity into growth. What can we learn from facing uncertainty and reframing challenges as opportunities for growth? Join Alex and Dr. Andrew Fix's discussion as they explore resilience, and offer insights that reveal how even the toughest moments can lead to clarity, strength, and a renewed purpose.   Quotes “I was making it even harder on myself by taking on something completely new, like distance running, while also trying to balance it with recovering from an injury. A lot of the frustration that came with different parts of this process forced me to reflect and dig deep. I let myself sit with the discomfort, listen to my thoughts, and ask myself: Why is this so frustrating? What's holding me back? And what do I need to do to move forward?” (28:18 | Alex Kaminsky) “My other rule is that nothing is too big or too small to be grateful for. It can be something simple, like saying, ‘I'm grateful for sunshine,' and that's enough. Other days, it's like, ‘I'm grateful for my loving and supportive parents who have gone through hell and back to make sure that I had the best life possible.' It can be extravagant, but it can literally be so silly. Both are equally important for shifting your mindset and rewiring your brain to focus on positivity and see the good in everything. We've all been around those people who, no matter what they're going through, always bring that positive energy into a conversation.” (41:05 | Alex Kaminsky) “I think it's really important to understand that it's similar to the law of attraction—what you think about expands, and what you focus on grows. So, you need to focus on visualizing the things you want, not the things you don't want.” (50:52 | Alex Kaminsky) “One of the biggest things and one of the things that's the hardest for me is just giving yourself grace. And I think it's so easy to see other people doing a great job, pushing through, and persevering. And we just tend to be so hard on ourselves.” (59:47 | Alex Kaminsky)   Links Connect with Alex Kaminsky: https://www.realkaminsky.com/ https://www.instagram.com/alexkaminsky222/ https://open.spotify.com/show/1VEwGlGsstM4B0EefzohAX?si=b2822ab5c7644036   SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

 "Obedience is greater than sacrifice...When you stay obedient to whatever it is that you're doing in life, there is no sacrifice, because even when you lose stuff, you gain so much more." Titus O'Neil As we head into the Holiday season, Ryan, Fred, and Channing sit down for a conversation covering a unique life journey that set out seemingly destined for one thing but through some major pivots, turned into something one could never imagine. WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil, known away from wrestling as Thaddeus Bullard, takes the guys through his unlikely path from young boy dealing with traumas and confusion to his dream of playing in the NFL to a popular career as professional wrestler to ending up in the WWE Hall of Fame but marks his biggest achievement has been being a dad. Going back to college days, Titus played with Fred at the University of Florida, as the two reminisce stories and funny moments of their playing days as he goes on to open up to the darker moments of his journey as he was raised by a single mother and shares unimaginable adversity when discovering how he was conceived. Most would crumble and give up or hide in shame and fear, but not Titus, he used his traumas to create a stronger foundation and formulate clear perspective on his faith, being resilient and finding his true purpose. In this deeply personal conversation, Titus opens up about discovering the difficult truth of how he came into the world and how that shaped his mission in life. While football provided a way out of tough circumstances, his aspirations always went beyond the game. He talks about his determination to create a legacy and become the kind of father he never had, inspiring not only his own kids but everyone around him. Titus's perspective on turning life's challenges into opportunities is both moving and motivating. Appreciating the wonders of the world that WWE afforded him while traveling country to country and amassing a global fanbase, Titus admits wrestling was one of the hardest things he had to do in life but also one of the most fulfilling. Reflecting on fatherhood, Titus shares powerful testaments to his faith and credits his kids with saving him, giving him a reason to push through pain and not give up. A few years ago, Titus was named Celebrity Dad of The Year, something he takes great pride in being recognized as. Going through a divorce is always difficult, but especially in the public eye, as Ryan asks how he handled the grief and words of advice he could share with others embarking on difficult journeys. Deeply rooted in prayer and faith, Titus is a believer in grace, second chances and being able to pivot when life turns upside down on you and make the most of any opportunity by living a life of significance. A truly inspiring conversation of reflection, hope and healing. Tap in now for a conversation we all can take something away from. Happy Holiday to you and yours from our Pivot Family.

In this conversation between Jim and Brian Will, motivational coach and rags-to-riches entrepreneur, they explore the entrepreneurship journey, emphasizing the importance of resilience, motivation, and understanding one's 'why.' Brian shares his unconventional path from adversity to success, discussing the challenges of self-sabotage and imposter syndrome, and the critical lessons learned from early business failures.   3 Key Takeaways: The Critical Nature of "Why": Brian emphasizes that a strong "why" is critical for overcoming setbacks and achieving success. Without a clear, deeply personal reason driving you, failure can cause many people to quit. Self-Motivation Over External Motivation: Brian argues that relying on external motivation, like seminars or pep talks, often leads to failure. True success comes from within—your "why" must be so strong that it becomes your intrinsic motivation to move forward, no matter the obstacles. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Everyone, no matter how successful, faces imposter syndrome. The key to overcoming it is to keep moving forward, despite doubts. Just like a running back in football who keeps their feet moving when tackled, success comes from relentless forward momentum.

By focusing on shared pain, we may inadvertently reinforce negative thought patterns and hinder collective healing. Lira emphasizes the importance of shifting the narrative, focusing on hope, resilience, and the potential for positive change.Lira encourages listeners to break free from the cycle of trauma bonding by:Prioritizing self-reflection: Engaging in introspection to understand the root causes of their pain and develop effective coping mechanisms.Cultivating self-compassion: Practicing forgiveness for past mistakes and embracing their inherent worth.Identifying and pursuing their passions: Finding purpose and meaning in their lives by engaging in activities that bring them joy and fulfillment.Focusing on the present moment: Shifting their attention towards the present and cultivating gratitude for the good in their lives.Building a supportive community: Connecting with others who prioritize positivity, growth, and personal development.This episode is a powerful call to action for listeners to break free from the limitations of past trauma and embrace a brighter future.
