"How do you rebuild when everything you've known is completely shattered in a single day?"In this powerful episode of Life in Transition, host Art Blanchford speaks with Melissa Saleh about her journey through devastating loss and remarkable rebirth. Melissa shares how a single day in 2014—when she lost her daughter at birth—shattered her entire existence, leading to the end of her marriage, career, and life in New York City. She describes the process of hitting rock bottom and how she began rebuilding in Charleston, South Carolina, finding healing through food, nature, and putting creative energy into renovating her home.Melissa reveals how trauma invaded her nervous system and required years of intensive healing work, including a dedicated year focused solely on trauma therapy. She discusses developing powerful intuitive skills, learning to surrender to pain instead of avoiding it, and how this transformation led to a loving marriage and two healthy children that doctors said would be impossible. The conversation offers profound insights on living with uncertainty, the importance of self-love, and how trauma can be transcended—not eliminated—to create a meaningful, authentic life aligned with one's deepest values.Melissa Saleh is a force of nature—former lawyer and journalist turned serial entrepreneur, masterful storyteller, and advocate for survivors of trauma. With a career spanning technology, media, and brand strategy, she has shaped the narratives of Fortune 500 giants and startups alike, helping them carve out their place in a fast-moving world. As the co-founder of FairPlayAI, she works to promote equity and reduce bias in automated decision-making.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

In life, whether you believe yourself to be creative or not, we are built to express our individuality whether it’s on a small scale to a large. On a small scale for those who don’t see themselves as creative it could be your music, books or film selections or how you choose to expel your energy - sport, dancing, or writing in any form. But there is also the chance, that the realities of life have distracted you from even knowing what really means something to you, and if you are expressing yourself at all? Kerry Armstrong who is a renowned and established Australian Expressionist Artist is a prime example of someone that came to the realisation she wasn’t acknowledging for a long part of her life, her own expression and individuality that was deep within her. Whether it was the relationship that she was in, or the established financial successful career, or the business of raising a family, it was drowning out her own music that came from within, until it became prevalent the desperate need for change, and to start listening to her own needs that she had ignored for too long. So we ask, how does a woman in her 50’s breakdown the barriers that were stopping her from living authentically and rebuild the Kerry she is today. And how did she get back in touch with the Kerry within?

Part Two. At the height of her real estate career, Athena Brownson's life was derailed by Lyme disease. For eight years, she's faced chronic pain and intensive treatments, reshaping every part of her world. As Athena puts it, “If life didn't give us adversity and challenges…” Yesterday, she recounted the early days of her diagnosis, the fight to survive, and the harsh realities of living with this poorly understood condition. Today, in Part 2, Athena will reveal how she turned survival into thriving and rebuilt her career on her own terms. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Retraining the Brain “Pain puts the brain in fight-or-flight mode, and it can get stuck there. So it's on us to train our minds to tell our bodies we're okay, to push through and find relief.” The Power of a Routine “For me, routines are huge. My toolkit includes morning and evening rituals – breathwork, meditation, journaling, writing affirmations. I remind myself every day: I am healthy. I am healing. My body can get through this.” The Art of Delegation “Delegation isn't just about getting things off your plate; it's about giving others a chance to shine. My illness showed me I can't do everything, nor should I. Letting go allows others to thrive, and it's empowering to see them do what they love.” Building My Tribe “Finding the right people was a decade-long journey, but now I have a team around me who would do anything for me. They're not just coworkers; they're my support system, my tribe. I know they're here for me, health and all, and I wouldn't be where I am without them.” The Power of Pen and Paper “Writing by hand does something special. Seeing the words you put down lets them sink in, letting you visualize and internalize them in a unique way.” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Athena Brownson ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Hidden Threat of Lyme Disease “I had no idea what Lyme disease was before I was diagnosed with it. It's the fastest growing epidemic in the United States, and it can turn life upside down.” From Athlete to Survivor “My life has made a complete 180 from being a professional athlete to just trying to get through each day. It's a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone.” When Life Becomes a Series of Challenges “It's hard not to get stuck in the mud when you're dealing with something so challenging and constant… chronic pain, chronic fatigue, enough to make anyone want to stay in bed and not do anything.” Creating a Toolkit for Every Day “How do we pivot our mentality? How do we create our toolkit of things to get us through each day, even when we don't want to? Sometimes it's as simple as blasting favorite music or making a great cup of coffee.” Becoming Your Own Biggest Advocate “With Lyme, I've learned that you have to be your own biggest advocate. It's about mental resilience, surrounding yourself with the right people, and finding those anchors to push forward.” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Athena Brownson ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

Are you struggling to navigate the dating world, especially later in life? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by Deb Dutcher, who shares her powerful journey of reentering the dating scene after 30 years of marriage. After facing numerous challenges—including a second unhealthy relationship that left her feeling hopeless—Deb transformed her life. Now a certified health coach and dating expert, she helps women over 50 overcome their fears, build confidence, and attract fulfilling relationships. Through self-discovery, visualizing an ideal partner, and knowing when to walk away, Deb offers practical strategies to reclaim your worth and find true love. Ready to take the first step? Standout Quotes: “When you think you're worthless, you dumb yourself down to stay with someone.” “I used therapy to stay in touch with who I am and to realize it wasn't all on me. It helped me understand that I have something of value to bring to the table.” “It's really about where you're comfortable and the options available. I have too many clients who have spent a year working with the wrong people.” Key Takeaways: Reflect on your past relationships and identify patterns or behaviors that may have contributed to their demise. Use this self-awareness to guide your search for a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Prioritize your financial independence and be willing to walk away from an unhealthy situation, even if it's scary. Explore ways to build your skills and income to support yourself. Invest in yourself through coaching, counseling, or other personal development programs to rediscover who you are and what you truly desire in a partner. When venturing back into the dating world, be selective about the platforms you use and don't be afraid to switch sites if you're not getting the desired results. Avoid free dating sites that may be rife with scammers. Cultivate a vibrant, interesting life outside of your search for a partner. Pursue hobbies, travel, and activities that bring you joy and make you an attractive, well-rounded companion.   Episode Timeline: [00:02] Introducing Deb Dutcher [02:25] Achieving Financial Freedom and Rebuilding Life at 68 [04:12] Navigating Dating Scams and Finding the Right Match [05:00] How Deb Found Love Again After Overcoming Trauma [09:59] Tools for Overcoming Abuse, Depression, and Healing [12:54] Eight-Week Dating Breakthrough Course for Personal Growth [18:46] Top Dating Sites for Singles Over 50 and Deb's Tips [22:05] Final Tips for Staying Positive and Thriving in Life   Learn more about Deb Dutcher on her socials: Website: https://findingmradorable.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debdutcher/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deb.dutcher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debdutchercoach/ Twitter: https://x.com/debdutcher Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Deb-Dutcher/author/B018JI6O2C   Learn more about Maria Romano and True Love Knots at: Website: https://trueloveknots.com Email: maria@trueloveknots.com Phone: +1 702-501-4150

Most business owners don't know how to switch off.We're constantly grinding away, working behind the scenes to give our all and serve our clients in the best possible way.But to what end? Is it really success if it comes at the cost of our health and relationships?Far too often, it's only when life throws a curve ball that we stop to think about the way we are living our lives and even consider slowing down.For Kaz, owner of Viva Life Pilates, that curve ball showed up in the form of breast cancer. Now, she's rebuilding her life and business in an entirely different way.Before her diagnosis, Kaz was what many would call a success story. She was a powerhouse, juggling life with two children, a rapidly growing Pilates business, and a coveted spot in national advertising campaigns. But beneath that facade was a whirlwind of stress and a life teetering on the edge of burnout. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to bring this important story to light, not just as a tribute to Kaz's courage, but as a vital reminder for all of us hustling in our businesses.Kaz's discovery of a lump pushed her into a series of investigations, ultimately leading to a devastating diagnosis of stage 2 breast cancer, progressing quickly to stage 3. It was a wake-up call no one asks for. The realisation that we often wait for life-altering events to slow down resonates deeply with me.After her diagnosis, Kaz was forced to confront not only the disease but an overwhelming obligation to her business. Her story is one of resilience, supported by a phenomenal team that kept Viva Life Pilates thriving in her absence. All of us in business fear stepping away and losing what we've built—but Kaz is living proof that sometimes, stepping back is stepping forward.Navigating through chemo and surgery, Kaz found herself asking life's crucial questions about priorities and sustainability. The experience taught her that true success wasn't in how hard she was working—it was in how she was taking care of herself and the people around her.After multiple surgeries, chemo and radiation, Kaz returned to her studio with a renewed mission—not just for her business, but for her personal health. She learned the art of delegation, setting boundaries, and prioritising what matters most. As someone who is pretty much glued to my phone to run my business, I take this lesson to heart. Our businesses should enhance our lives, not overshadow them.Resources & Links:Connect with Kaz from Viva Life PilatesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivalifepilates/Website: https://www.vivalifefitness.com.au/Join The $10K Designer/ Mentorship here: https://interiorsinsider.com.au/mentorshipJoin the FREE Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1351851525693713Download the FREE pricing and services guide here: https://goldchalk.mykajabi.com/offers/kc8TCz72Access my free masterclass - How to start your business without a PortfolioThank you to our major sponsor and designer resource - More Time To Design

Episode Title: Rebuilding Life Beyond Loss with Joi Renique Episode Description: In today's episode, we dive deep into the concept of "grief courage" — the remarkable inner strength it takes to face the pain of loss. Grieving is not about being fearless but about embracing the full weight of your emotions and allowing yourself to heal through them. Join us as we explore what it means to be courageous in grief and how this strength can lead to profound healing. Key Points Discussed: Understanding Grief Courage: True courage lies not in hiding pain, but in facing it head-on. Grief courage allows us to feel deeply while embracing the journey toward healing. The Misconception of Strength: Society often tells us to put on a brave face, but real strength comes from allowing ourselves to fully experience grief. Healing starts when we stop avoiding our emotions and start tending to them. Healing Through Connection: Grief courage also involves reaching out, leaning on others, and knowing it's okay to ask for help. When we share our grief, we lighten the emotional load, fostering a sense of community and support. Journal Questions: What does being courageous in grief mean to you? How do you currently cope with grief? Do you allow yourself to feel it fully? Who can you lean on during your grief journey? In what ways can you practice grief courage by embracing your emotions today? Conclusion: Grieving takes immense courage, and acknowledging your emotions is the first step toward healing. Reflect on these questions as you embrace your own grief courage. Remember, you don't have to walk this path alone. Share your thoughts and journey with us — together, we can find strength in our shared experiences.
