It's the last GFR Show of 2021, and Lisa's here to share why—despite living through the Covid crucible of 2020—this has been one of the most transformational years of her life.  From embarking on a journey around unconscious racial bias, to her mother's 9-month battle with a cancer recurrence, to revisiting a 30-year struggle with food and body image she was sure she'd healed years ago (Ep. 85 - F*ck Dieting! This is Me!), Lisa leaned into her lessons and uncovered a stronger, even more unapologetic version of herself. The week before Ep. 85 aired, Lisa's mom Phyllis was in a terrible car accident that nearly left her quadriplegic, which in turn completely rocked Lisa's world. That's when the real transformation started. In this episode you'll learn about Phyllis's grueling road to recovery, and find out 5 major lessons Lisa's learned as she took on her new role as caregiver for her mom. Lisa also confesses the ways her faith in the GFR Commandments has been tested these last couple months, in particular GFR 12C #4: Trust that struggle serves your mission.  Listen in to hear a promising update about how Phyllis is doing at the time of recording, and learn what self-care actions Lisa's taking for herself (and in turn, for her business, and the GFR Show) as she continues to care for her mom.

In this episode, I have the privilege of introducing you to my friend and fellow Evolutionary Business Council member, Rodney Flowers.   After a traumatic high school football injury, Rodney was paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Despite a challenging recovery process over 18 years to regain his ability to walk, Rodney is all about making a positive impact on the world.   Today, Rodney is an internationally respected speaker, thought leader, and 3-time bestselling author who helps others overcome life's challenges to maximize success.   Rodney offers us nine incredible “fun nuggets” in our discussion all about resilience, including the idea that “Playing the game, however you play it, is a privilege.” Here are the fun nuggets from the interview:   #1: Decide on what you want; then focus on it.   #2: Ignite the small accomplishments (chunk it down).   #3: The end game is not as important as the journey.   #4: Excitement itself is a celebration.   #5: Seek out life's challenges. #6: Resistance is an invitation to expand ourselves.   #7: Resilience is about getting emotionally and spiritually fit.   #8: Adversity is something we all have in common.   #9: Playing the game, however you play it, is a privilege.

Many people anxiously await for COVID-19 to be gone so that everything can return to normal. But perhaps it will be better not to wait for the endgame and instead see this crisis as a spiritual awakening. Rodney Flowers talks with motivational speaker and author Forrest Rivers about the COVID-19 pandemic's silver lining regarding self-empowerment and motivation. They discuss how today's crisis has halted everyone's growth to present fresh - and sometimes much better - life opportunities. Forrest also explains how the pandemic's quietness gives everyone enough space to look inward. As a result, one can cultivate faith and understand the purpose of everything in God's own plan.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://rodneyflowers.com/

Our innate tribal mentality causes us to be protective of our beliefs and ideals, sometimes so much than what's typically expected. But noble as this mindset may be, it can be pretty dangerous if used against us - which is what the news nowadays is actually doing. Rodney Flowers dissects this topic with author Peter Montoya, who highlights the major takeaways of his book, The Second Civil War. Peter explains how news outlets spark public outrage and division by pumping fear and hatred nonstop. As a result, humans revert to their tribal-like personalities, throwing repetitive talking points at each other that become worthless over time. Peter also talks about driving change to today's society by going back to our default settings, embracing anxieties and tapping into our survival instincts.Love the show?

Rodney Flowers is a transformational speaker and a bestselling author helping others reach their goals, experience their dreams, and live successful purposeful lives. A mindset, strategy, resilience, team building coach, Rodney facilitates conversations and events. Rodney Flowers is the host of The Game Changer Mentality Podcast. Today, he shares his inspirational story, being paralyzed at 15 years old and being in a wheelchair for 18 years, and how he walked his way through, not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, bouncing back and getting to where he is now. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How Rodney ended up in the wheelchair His driving force that made him want to be better in life Understanding that recovery is a process How to win in the game of life The Chinese bamboo and the bow and arrow analogies in relation to embracing our failures Episode Highlights: Recovery is a Process Recovery can move very slowly and so, you sometimes have to build on those improvements. You have to go through the process and be okay with being in spaces of uncertainty. You have to have a strong mind and not allow frustration or delayed gratification to get the best of you because that's how you lose. In order to win, you've got to stay strong and keep your mind on the vision. Make sure you have a process and a ritual in place. Even if you have a destination, you've got to break that down into small chunks, and then reward yourself when you meet those milestones that you set for yourself along the journey. And realize that the most important things are the milestones between where you are and that destination. Ultimately, having a vision is a vehicle for you to become better. And any resistance that shows up in your life is an opportunity for you to outperform whatever is in front of you. How to Win in the Game of Life Winning is fully expressing yourself and allowing who you are to be maximized to the fullest extent for the purpose of creating a positive impact on the world. The more you do that, the more games you win. Opposition and resistance are something we all have in common. And the best thing to do in life is to understand how to navigate it and how to play it. The more you learn how to play it, the more you get better at it, and the more enjoyable life is, no matter what you do. Put yourself in this game playing mindset to take on whatever comes and you become a champion.

Are you facing difficult situations, and you need a boost of emotional resilience? Rodney Flowers' guest today is Doug Noll, an award-winning author, teacher, trainer, and a highly experienced mediator whose calling is to serve humanity as a peacemaker. Doug shares with Rodney how emotional resilience boils down to listening to your emotions and that of others. Don't resist the pain, grief, and suffering. Let it pass through you, and allow yourself to cry because crying releases and cleanses. When you learn to listen to your emotions, you learn to listen to others as well. Doing so diffuses anger and violence, effectively de-escalating the situation. Tune in and be more emotionally resilient!Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://rodneyflowers.com/

Today our expert guest is Rodney Flowers, bestselling author, keynote speaker, entrepreneur, thought leader, and resilience trainer. He leverages his unique life experiences and business acumen to help individuals, teams, and companies cultivate resilience, crush their goals, and achieve peak performance. At 15 years old, Rodney loved playing football. In the first game of his sophomore season, he suffered a serious injury. He was rushed to the emergency room, where, after extensive testing, he was told he had a 92% chance of remaining paralyzed for the rest of his life. He gave up on living for over a year, where the only thing that prevented him from taking his life was the thought of the upset it would cause for others. Eventually, he realized that the position that he was in was an opportunity. He shifted his mindset and his perception about what was happening, and started to look at the emotional pain he was feeling. He realized that his emotional pain was not because of the injury, but because his dreams had been taken away and he hadn't found anything to replace them. So he started asking himself some questions. They all led back to one major question: “What if I could walk again?” And that became his dream, which is when things began to change. 18 years later, he was able to leave his crutches behind and walk on his own once more. Rodney has refined a process for overcoming those obstacles. First, view challenges as opportunities. When we recognize what the challenge is exposing, therein lies the opportunity to improve. Next, start seeking out challenges – specifically selected ones that won't hold you back, but will instead allow you to move forward. Finally, focus on your dream. Make it as real as possible. When you can envision your dream and imagine yourself there, it will make pushing through the hard times easier. Rodney's story is one of overcoming extreme adversity, and it's proof that anyone can put in the effort. Even if Rodney had never walked, he would have been so much further having made the effort to do so, and that mindset shift is available to all of us. It will push us further than we could ever imagine.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “My philosophy is this: if you're alive and breathing, you're on the field of adversity in the game of life. It's something that we can't escape. Every one of us are going to feel some level of opposition and adversity in life, and perhaps you're feeling it right now. You're not alone, OK? It's a privilege and a responsibility. If there's one thing that you want to take away from this, it is that you attack that – that's your privilege. You get to play on this field and it's a lot of fun. Sometimes it's painful, but yet it's a lot of fun if you are on the attack, if you can just get out of the defense mode. It's not fun playing defense all the time, it's not. So play a little offense, create some things, innovate, produce, push back on the opposition, and see what you can come up with, see how far you can progress, see how much you can score, and once you find out you can score, continue that process, become a star in your own game, and eventually a champion in the game of life.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

I Can't. I Will. I Did...Here's How!" "This portion of the revolution will not be televised, but EVERYBODY can listen." Don't miss it!
