Originally Published Apr 07, 2021: After being beaten and abused for years, and nearly dying during childbirth, Rustie MacDonald came back strong. It was a decision made from a place of desperation – the type of moment where there are two choices: die, or live. Literally. Mix that with being raised in poverty – not associated with drug abuse but by having a young mother with few choices. Now after coming back from near-death, Rustie helps others take back their lives and “live by design”. The author of several books, consultant and minister – she leads people to thrive. Join us and hear her story! You will learn about her golden pearls of wisdom and how she came back from a life many never escape.    Social media links Rustie MacDonald: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rustie/ Website: https://rustie.info/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CeliacRoads Twitter: https://twitter.com/RustieMac Blog talk radio: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/rustie   Thanks for listening to the show!

INTERVIEW WITH #GETFEATURED GUEST RUSTIE MACDONALD. RUSTIE, A SINGLE MOTHER BRINGS MOTIVATIONAL CONVERSATION WITH HOSTESS JANNYSHMANNY. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecomfortlevelpodcast/message

In this episode of FunkQuest, fairy tales, not having a TV and Avon cosmetics (remember them?)Question 1 Rustie decided on the 'Punk Rocker' Where is the best waterpark you went to? Living in Florida Rustie is able to access quite a few Disney attractions and 'Paradise Island' is probably the best Waterpark. She doesn't go on the waterslides as she is a bit chicken, but is happy to observe others. Karina chose to go with the same QuestionWhere is the best waterpark you went to In Corfu, Karina goes to 'Aqualand' - it has a 'Lazy River' inflatable rings ride which flows through the Park as well as a 'Wave' pool. In England when she was younger she was hurt in on a waterslide ride and doesn't go on them any more.Question 2Karina picked the 'Tuxedo' Where do you visit on the internet at the start of each day? At 10am every morning Karina is on the internet for work purposes checking messages and notifications. For leisure she joins 'wotpad/com' where you can type up, write and read stories.Rustie chose the 'Camel' Which of the major theme parks would you most like to go to? The theme park Rustie would like to go to would be 'Bush Gardens' but Thailand would be her 'go to' destination for its stunning scenery, colour and food.Question 3Karina decided on the 'Cartoon planet' What brand are you most loyal to? There is a large British community in Corfu so Karina finds it quite easy to access the'AVON' brand of cosmetics. She especially likes the perfume 'Rare Gold' and is known by its scent. She has no clothes fashion brands and wears what is comfortable for her.Rustie chose the 'football'What old person things do you do? Rustie likes an early night and doesn't' stay up past 9pm. She doesn't like driving at busy times and she generally reduces her speed. She pretends to meditate after being out and coined the phrase 'Old person Hypocrisy' a duality of personality when you feel you have no more effort to give but you try to be loving.Question 4Karina picked the 'Random colours'Who is your favourite artist? Choosing artists from different genres, Karinas' favourites are; The Author S.E.Hinton (The outsiders) Any Rock Band of the 1980's Leonardo DaVinciRustie picked the small boatWho takes charge of the TV remote? Rustie has not had a television for 16 years and only rarely goes on YouTube. She feels that the TV is like a drug, in that it makes people forget communication and responsibility, it is addictive and is the reason why society is so angry, it also promotes fear and anxiety and could be the downfall of humanity Instead of love and community it stirs up all that we are afraid of.Question 5Karina chose the 'Wedding'How many lullabies do you know? A minute of singing later and Karina had come up with 6 Rustie added another 1. A short discussion followed about the Brothers Grimm and their collection of folklore and fairy tales, which, along with lullabies, are in truth, really quite scary. Rustie decided on the 'Table football'When did you just have to keep your mouth shut? Rustie mimed keeping her mouth shut. She says her 'filter' left about 10 years ago and if she doesn't bite her tongue she can be very scathing.

Rustie MacDonald's personal journey began in the darkness of severe poverty, rape, abuse, and homelessness. Today, she's a successful multi-book author, International Radio Show Host, Speaker, and passionate full-time single mom. Rustie believes that lack is not meant to be a part of anyone's destiny, so her new journey is to inspire others to show gratitude and find hope even in their darkest moments.

After being beaten and abused for years, and nearly dying during childbirth, Rustie MacDonald came back strong. It was a decision made from a place of desperation – the type of moment where there are two choices: die, or live. Literally. Mix that with being raised in poverty – not associated with drug abuse but by having a young mother with few choices. Now after coming back from near-death, Rustie helps others take back their lives and “live by design”. The author of several books, consultant and minister – she leads people to thrive.

Rustie MacDonald is a multiple author, speaker and radio show host. We didn't get into her experiences as a rape survivor but we did talk about climbing trees making dens and the impact the internet has had on this lifestyle.​What are the FUNKQUEST rules?Funkquest is a fun interactive online game that features five rounds.

Each Funky visual has a Funky question.The Funky insight is that the question may or may not be related to the icon.SO potential Funksters have to think on their feet to score points. Points are awarded by me for FUNKY answers...What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.Listening (without prejudice) to new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network truly qualifies as FUNKY.Each question has a strict time limit. So no multi-headed long and complicated self indulgent stories to endure. Just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!Q1. Rusty chose the cassette tape. The question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"Two albums cropped up. The musical Jesus Christ Superstar and the Stray cat strut.Rustie played both of these until they wore out. Although we might have come across the Stray Cats at different points in their career.People we need on the show. Anyone with an understanding of music and why it has the emotional impact on us that it does. Score 81 points. This is the approximate year that I became aware of the stray cats.Q2. Rustie chose the space hopper. Although did not know what it was. A short discussion followed. The Soviet Union shirt score half a point.The quesion is "What's your secret talent?" and Rustie replied cooking. Basil, onion and garlic especially.We talked about overweight people in the US. Is it a myth? Answer no.Celiacs are unable to tolerate wheat and barley. Something I didn't know. Score 70 points.Total 151 1/2Q3. Rustie chose the typewriter and the question is "What's some insider knowledge in your industry?"Being more famous in Australia than your hometown. Plus, people who are able to listen without prejudice and take something in rather than blindly ruling it out.Rustie made a good pitch for 34,000 points but I was having non of it and awarded 34.Total 185 1/2Q4. Rustie chose the radio gram and the question was "What habit do you have now that you wish you had started earlier?"We discussed staying in bed and staring at the ceiling for 10 minutes. In a world where we are told we need to crush it, and blast it and smash it, how FUNKY is it to spend 10 minutes listening to your breath and planning what you need to do that day. (Or whatever?)Score 10 points (for 10 minutes).Total 195 1/2Q5. Rustie chose the roller blades and the question is "What got ruined because it became popular?"We came up with a list.TV,Romance, The internet, social media.Hands up if you remember the world before social media where you could go and build a tree house?Rustie score 70 points because that is the time most FUNKY THINKERS associate with this lifestyle.Total 265 1/2Not good enough to get on to the podium but surely good enough for the end of season playoffs.

There is no look of a woman in an abusive relationship. She doesn’t belong to a specific race or practice a certain religion. She can’t be identified by social class or educational background. She can be and is any one of us. Rustie MacDonald shares her story but it reflects the story of many women who have lived and are living it.

Life's Issues with Lloyd Rosen with his guests Mona de Vestel & Rustie MacDonald: Mona de Vestel is an author, professor, performer and intuitive. For many years, she fought her ability to feel and receive messages. Mona was born and raised in a multicultural family in Brussels, Belgium. Daughter of a prominent Belgian architect turned new age guru and a Catholic mother raised in Africa. Mona swore she had "no such powers" for most of her life. But a near-death experience at age sixteen, and a series of entertaining, and at times, comedic experiences with the ‘occult' reminded Mona of her connection to the spirit world. When Mona was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, she embarked on a three-year spiritual journey with shaman and healer Wendy Root. It was then, that Mona's conscious spiritual path really began. In August of 2013, she channeled Love in a Time of War, a 400-page book in just 30 hours. This astonishing book will transform anyone who considers applying these principles.
