In this episode, Stephanie opens up about losing her dad and how that experience reshaped her understanding of emotional strength, healing, and resilience. Inspired by Alex Hormozi's reflections on grief, she shares how pain can become a teacher and how growth doesn't mean avoiding emotion, but learning to move through it.✅ Top 3 Takeaways:Real strength means feeling fully, not fighting your feelings. Suppressing emotion delays healing; presence and honesty rebuild it.Adversity reveals your emotional habits. The moments that shatter you also show where you've been hiding from yourself.Growth begins when you surrender control. Accepting what is (instead of resisting it) opens the door to peace, perspective, and maturity.Ready to improve your sex life and move through the challenges of your relationship?Apply for coaching here.⏱ Timestamps: 00:00–11:30 — Personal story: Losing my dad and what grief taught me about emotional strength 11:30–26:00 — How to build mental strength through adversity 26:00–End — Practical ways to move through emotion and regain control

In this episode of Persistence U with Lizbeth Meredith, I'm honored to introduce Dr. Tali Lando—pediatric ENT surgeon, survivor, and author of Breathless. I had the privilege of endorsing this book, and from the first conversation with Dr. Lando, I knew she was someone I could sit down with for hours over coffee.Breathless is more than a memoir—it's a rare look behind the curtain of physician life. Dr. Lando shares the pressure of balancing a high-stakes career, family, and her own cancer diagnosis, all while carrying the life-and-death stories of her patients. She writes with candor about the cases that shaped her career, the lessons they taught, and how those lessons seeped into her home life.We talk about the challenges of transforming medical cases into universal life lessons, the risks and rewards of vulnerability on the page, and the power of feedback—from her teenage daughter to trusted colleagues—that helped her shape this deeply human book.Listeners will also hear how Dr. Lando wrestled with questions many of us ask: Does my story matter? Will anyone care? Her persistence, coupled with mentorship and belief from others, carried this project from a private Word document to a published memoir that will touch lives far beyond the medical field.Dr. Lando's journey reminds us that resilience isn't just about surviving illness or setbacks—it's about allowing those experiences to transform how we live, work, and connect.You will learn:How personal health crises can transform the way we work and relate to others.Why stories—whether medical cases or personal struggles—need structure, feedback, and courage to resonate with readers.The universal life lessons doctors carry from their patients and how those lessons extend far beyond medicine.Connect with Dr. Tali Lando: 

402 Freedom in Healing Throughout life we may make decisions, or be subject to decisions made involving us. Whether it's first or second hand, inevitably we begin to believe in a pattern in the behavior around us, oftentimes leading to self doubt and worse. However, if we keep moving forward, actively choosing to make the best of a situation, to learn and grow in order to better ourselves for ourselves, we will find our freedom in healing.   In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Holli Tabren McEachern discuss the importance of growth, healing, and the honesty that comes with self reflection. Honesty not just with the world, but with yourself and what has happened to make you feel the way you do, and how it triggers you.    Highlights Empathy in a world of cruelty is the bravest rebellion.  How have you been programmed?  Have you ever encountered favoritism?  What choices are you making that reflect your behavior? Do you feel like you have to justify these choices?   Quotes “I think it's because we look at society, and we look at the grandma with the grandkids and the grandma always spoils the grandkids. You have this program, like your program, program from the way things are. Program from the way everybody does things.”    “And God, he prepares you for what's next. You don't know it's preparation. You don't realize that all these things that happen in your life, even the bad choices you make, will prepare you for the next thing.”  “You have to change you before anything in the situation can change.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where are you incarcerated? What are you choosing not to see in your own decisions? That maybe with a little light on them can help you find more satisfaction and happiness in your life. It's a simple question, but the answer might be tricky. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Holli Holli Tabren is an author, speaker, mentor, and reentry specialist dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives and reclaim their power after incarceration. Once sentenced to 25 years in prison, she served 10 years before her case was overturned transforming her pain into purpose. Holli now leads the Becoming HER Framework—Healed, Extraordinary, Resilient—through workshops, books, and her soon-to-launch app, equipping justice-impacted women with tools for healing, entrepreneurship, and resilience. She is the author of Blood Ain't Thicker, The Path2Redemption Anthology, and her newest release, Becoming HER.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Seeing the world as a solo traveler pushes you to show up in a way only you can, as your most authentic self. And while the experience can be daunting, it welcomes opportunities for self-exploration and discovery. To be pushed out of your comfort zone in a place that’s not your home is a gift filled with moments that are sure to sharpen and evolve your mental health. In new and unfamiliar environments, you’re forced to rely on your instincts, make decisions independently, and answer the question, “What do I want?” The clarity that comes with being alone in the noise of a new city is the kind of clarity that can be hard to find in the busyness of our day-to-day lives. It’s in those quiet moments that can reveal new parts of ourselves. This is the final episode in our series of bonus episodes, presented by our partners at Chase Sapphire Reserve, focusing on travel, mental health, and the power of putting joy at the center of your life. We hope you've enjoyed them. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Sarma Melngailis—best known from the Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan—joins me to reveal the story the headlines never told. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Sarma opens up about covert narcissistic abuse, repeated manipulation, and the long road of self-discovery that followed. We explore how empathy, idealism, and even neurodivergence can make survivors more vulnerable to covert abuse—and how these same traits can also become sources of strength and healing. In Part 1, we go beyond the public narrative into: The early relationship patterns that mirrored covert narcissistic abuse Why intelligent, capable people can still miss the warning signs The link between sensitivity, empathy, and manipulation Finding self-compassion after shame and public judgment Sarma's new memoir The Girl With The Duck Tattoo reveals the deeper truth of her experience—a story of narcissistic abuse, manipulation, and resilience. If you've ever felt unseen or misunderstood, this episode will remind you that your empathy is not your weakness—it's your superpower.

Today, I interview Catherine G. Lucas who opens up about losing her voice in the midst of a painful breakdown. In her late teens she was already standing on stage for public speaking competitions, but by the time her parents divorced during her university years, the weight of family wounds caught up with her. Instead of enjoying summer with friends, she found herself in an acute psychiatric ward, her world shattered and her voice silenced.Her breakthrough came much later, when she discovered that what had been called a breakdown could also be seen as an awakening. It took years of reframing and deep inner work to see her experience not as illness, but as a turning point with the potential for healing.Through mindfulness, patient advocacy, and writing her first book, In Case of Spiritual Emergency, Catherine began to speak from her whole self rather than hide in shame. Today she helps others step into their deeper calling, showing that finding your voice is not about perfection but about expressing the truth of who you are in a way that heals and uplifts.__________________Catherine G. Lucas is the author of four books on how to move successfully through crisis and harness the transformational power it holds. A former university professor, Catherine left her academic career behind to step into her soul's deeper calling, following a profound crisis of awakening.She went on to set up a UK charity and now helps people step into their deeper calling. Her media appearances include BBC Radio 4 and TimeWarner TV, and she regularly speaks internationally. More recently, Catherine has convened the highly acclaimed Birth the New Earth summit.__________________Find Catherine here:https://www.youtube.com/user/CatherineGLucashttps://www.catherine-g-lucas.com/https://www.co-creatingourfuture.world/https://www.co-creatingourfuture.world/free-gift-download/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

You might've grown up believing you weren't the “creative type.”Maybe someone told you your art wasn't good enough, or life pulled you toward what felt practical. After years of raising kids, caregiving, working, or just keeping things afloat, your creative side may have faded into the background.But creativity never left — it's simply waiting for you to notice it again.In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Murphy, master illustrator, portrait artist, and founder of Evolve Artist, whose work has appeared in National Geographic and Rolling Stone. From freezing construction jobs to stay-at-home dad life and a thriving art career, Kevin's self-discovery journey is both real and inspiring.What makes his story powerful isn't just his success — it's his belief that creativity isn't about talent. It's about process, attention, and learning to see differently.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the creative mindset is something you can build at any stageHow creativity myths keep us disconnected from our full selvesWhy painting for beginners is about trust, not talentA grounded way to move through creative blocksHow artistic confidence grows from structure, not pressureThe link between somatic healing and creative practiceHow to use art as hands-on learning and inner quietFirst steps to begin learning to draw, even if you never have beforeIf you've been craving stillness, a new outlet, or a way to reconnect with the part of you that used to love creating — this is your gentle reminder: you were always creative.

What if your greatest health challenge could become your most powerful teacher? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cindy Wageman, speaker, coach, and bestselling author of Completely Healed: How Understanding the Link Between Trauma, Stress, and Autoimmune Disease Helped Me Get My Life Back. Cindy opens up about her journey of healing from multiple sclerosis, sharing how faith, mindset, and self-discovery transformed her life. She reveals how years of people-pleasing and unprocessed trauma affected her health, and how learning to listen to her intuition, and to God, became the key to true healing. Together, she and Gerald explore the science of epigenetics, explaining how our thoughts, relationships, and environment can literally switch our genes on or off. One of Cindy's most powerful insights came when she realized the importance of being honest with her family about her struggles, a revelation that later inspired her work as a life and relationship coach. This heartfelt episode reminds us that real productivity starts from within, when we nurture our bodies, renew our minds, and live with purpose and balance. Let's dive in!

Pleasers lose themselves.” – Cindy Wageman [07:24] “I decided that I was going to not listen to anyone else, but start listening to myself and my intuition  and the voice inside of me, which I feel was God,” – Cindy Wageman [08:13] “Our mind and our bodies are very closely connected. Our brains tell our body, our bodies respond.” – Cindy Wageman [11:11] “I think our bodies can go through the same process when we don't know how to process that trauma and stress.” – Gerald J. Leonard [13:48] “I learned about the eight laws of health... breathing fresh air, getting the rest that you need, exercise, nutrition, trusting in God, sunshine, and balance in life.” – Cindy Wageman [25:16] “There are very toxic people. I wanted to help everyone, I wanted to fix everyone, and I found out that I can't.” — Cindy Wageman [26:11] “There is a term in psychology called Gray Rock — it's really just being a gray rock. Just there, but not being emotionally involved at all.” — Cindy Wageman [27:21] “I think that one of the things that really has affected me through this journey was when I had multiple sclerosis was my children. I had babies, I had little kids. And I didn't tell them what was going on.” – Cindy Wageman [23:07] “I only have control over what I can control — my community, my neighbors, my family. I can give them all the love that I can.” — Cindy Wageman [29:29] “I asked God, why am I crying? And He said, Cindy, this is your story. You need to tell other people about it.” – Cindy Wageman Resources Cindy Wageman Website: cindywageman.com Facebook: facebook.com/cindywageman Instagram: instagram.com/cindywageman Book: Completely Healed: How Understanding the Link Between Trauma, Stress, and Autoimmune Disease Helped Me Get My Life Back Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.

How can Navy SEAL training principles transform medical practice amid rising uncertainty? In this special guest-hosted episode of Succeed in Medicine, John Schneider interviews Rich Diviney, as he recounts developing The Attributes during his time leading selection for SEAL Team Six, distinguishing between teachable skills and innate qualities that underpin performance under stress. Listeners learn about the 41 attributes assessment available at theattributes.com, which reveals personal "dimmer switch" settings to enhance self-awareness without judgment. The discussion bridges military and medical worlds, exploring how ER physicians and SEALs share traits like compartmentalization, while roles like general practitioners demand higher empathy. Transitioning to Masters of Uncertainty, Rich delves into identity's role in performance, advocating "I am" statements tied to attributes for resilience during career shifts. He introduces the "Moving Horizons" tool to generate personal certainty by chunking challenges, drawing from SEAL Hell Week and Apollo missions to show how it dissipates fear through neuroplasticity. The episode culminates in dynamic subordination—a fluid leadership model where teams adapt like an amoeba, empowering all members in uncertain environments, with parallels to surgical teams. Essential listening for physicians navigating change, burnout, and team dynamics.Three Actionable Takeaways:Assess Your Attributes – Visit theattributes.com to take the free assessment and identify your unique strengths and blind spots. Use this self-awareness to match roles that align with your innate qualities, enhancing performance in high-stress medical settings.Practice Moving Horizons – In moments of uncertainty, ask: What do I know? What can I control? Choose a short, achievable horizon (e.g., next 10 breaths or task) to generate dopamine and focus, building resilience through daily practice like workouts.Foster Dynamic Subordination – Lead by behavior, not title: Create environments where the most competent person steps up, and others support. In teams, use first names and empower voices to optimize decision-making in fluid, high-stakes scenarios like surgery or emergencies.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest Hosts:· John Schneider – An academic neurosurgeon and physician coach, guest hosts the Succeed in Medicine podcast, interviewing former Navy SEAL Rich Diviney.

Maybe you've been walking a path for years, career, relationships, habits, that no longer feels right, but the thought of starting over feels impossible.In this episode of The Be Positive Podcast, I dig deep into that heavy question: Is it too late to change my life direction? Spoiler alert, it's not. I'll talk about how to recognize when your inner compass is pointing somewhere new, why fear of time lost keeps us stuck, and how every moment is a chance to pivot toward a life that feels more aligned, more peaceful, and more you.It's never too late to rewrite your story. The first step is believing you can.

401 Exploring Our Identities   It can be daunting to explore outside of your comfort zone, it is vital to your growth. Whether that be leaving your hometown or simply stepping into a new field, we must challenge ourselves to unlock our true potential.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Sarah Degn discuss how important it is to spread your own wings and to travel outside of your comfort zone and to find who you are through your own skills and knowledge.    Highlights Leaving home behind to pursue your dreams. It's never too late to try and to explore. Learning and growing as an individual to in turn help your community.   Quotes “You can come back, just the reminder that yes you absolutely should go experience something beyond your small town.” “You just need to find the new opportunities and things that are missing.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Sarah and I spoke for nearly an hour about what it's like to explore our identities through our youth and maybe come back home, and find out what life is like and how our identities can be shaped by our environments and by the things that we think are important. We talked about what it's like to travel and tell people our story so that they uncover their own stories and that they can understand truly what the rest of the world could look like. It was full of inspiration and ideas and now I want to know, what will you do with this? What was one thing that stood out in this conversation? I'd love to hear from you.    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Sarah Degn Sarah is a fourth generation farmer near Sidney, MT. With her family, she raises 800 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat. She's represents NE Montana of the Farmers Union Board of directors. Be sure to check out Sarah's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as The Montana Farmers Union, and The National Farmers Union!   About Sarah Elkins "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!

Niia joins me to unpack her forthcoming album—a modern, live-first take on jazz that blends an acoustic rhythm section with subtle, future-leaning electronic colors. Trained as a jazz vocalist and raised at the piano, she set out to create something timeless, without relying on retro tropes or trend-bound sounds. The result is a record that breathes: spacious mixes, genuine dynamics, and arrangements that allow for interplay while keeping the vocal narrative at the center.We trace her path from a fiercely musical Italian family outside Boston—classical piano with her mom, jazz studies at The New School in New York—to early studio reps as a jingle singer, where she learned mic technique, speed, and how to “translate” creative direction. A move to Los Angeles opened new collaborative circles and ultimately led to the creation of this album, co-produced with Lawrence Rothman and Spencer Zahn (whose bass work is a standout). Most core tracks were cut together, with Niia revisiting vocals after living with the songs; mixer John Castello kept the feel alive rather than over-processed. Her version of “Angel Eyes,” distilled to voice and piano, anchors the record and nods to the tradition she loves.We also discuss the human side of performing—stage fright, perfectionism, and the transition from singing with eyes closed to fully engaging with an audience. For Niia, connection beats ego: the goal is to help people feel something, not to sand every edge. As the album rolls out (release date: October 10), she's launching a 10-date European tour starting in Germany and Copenhagen, with hopes of bringing the show to Asia and the U.S. next. Long term, she dreams of a lush standards album—but, as she puts it, not just yet.To learn more about Niia, visit her website.

“It's not time that heals, it's what we do in that time.” –Dawn Michele JacksonWe don't do grief well. And unprocessed grief has consequences. I'm talking with grief specialist Dawn Michele Jackson about what we get wrong about grief and processing loss. Grief isn't just about death — it is a natural reaction to any kind of loss. Your kids leaving home, changes in your body, moving, changing jobs, divorce, losing a close friend, … and yes, death. We can grieve very personal losses or public and collective losses.You've probably heard that time heals, but it isn't that simple. Let's talk about how to actually face loss and work through our grief.We talk about: Not saying “I know how you feel” and what to do insteadWhat happens when you don't deal with grief — and why we often don't address itHow even happy things can cause griefHow losses can compoundGiving people an opportunity to talk about who or what they've lostWhy you shouldn't hand a grieving person a tissue — and other ways to allow people to have their emotional responseABOUT DAWNDawn Jackson draws on three decades of nursing experience and her expertise as an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist to help others heal their hearts, transform their lives, and rediscover joy. She is the bestselling author of Journey to Peace and Healing and Journey to Self Discovery: 100 Days of Soulful Reflections, as well as a contributing author to multiple international bestselling anthologies.LINKShttps://www.dawnmichelejackson.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-michele-jackson/https://www.facebook.com/dawnmichelejacksonPause magazine (Find Dawn in issue 2): https://plansimple.com/magazineDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.Even though we want big change, it's really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:FEEL YOUR OWN GRIEF. What have you lost recently? Have you allowed yourself to feel it? Are you staying busy and numbing? What if you opened up to your feelings?BECOME A LISTENING HEART. Next time somebody mentions a loss to you, instead of telling them you know how they feel or giving them a platitude to make them feel better. Try listening. Ask them about the person or pet or thing they lost. Give them a chance to talk.MODEL GRIEVING TO OTHERS. You don't have to be strong and keep your emotions in. Show your kids and others around you that it's okay to feel and express your feelings. That might mean crying about a loss or letting people around you know you are having a sad or hard day.

"Learning about the inner child process connected things in a way that I had never thought of... never consciously recognized, and it was stark. And it started to explain so much."In this emotional and deeply transformative episode, I sit down with Hilary Valentine to talk about her journey inside The Mothership and the powerful shifts she experienced as she healed her mother wound. Hilary shares how the sudden loss of her father became a turning point that pushed her to re-examine her life, her family dynamics, and the patterns she was carrying. What followed was a profound exploration of inner child work, where she uncovered hidden layers of codependency, guilt, and unspoken grief that had been shaping her relationships since childhood.Through the process, Hilary moved from intellectualizing her pain to fully feeling and releasing it in her body, transformations that rippled into her relationship with her mom, her husband, her kids, and even her business. She bravely speaks about the moments of breakthrough that shifted her identity from people-pleasing and self-doubt into embodied clarity, freedom, and authentic self-expression.If you've ever struggled with family dynamics, carried unprocessed grief, or felt the weight of expectations shaping your choices, Hilary's story will inspire you to trust the process of inner healing and remind you that breaking generational patterns is not only possible, it changes everything.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSLife on the Road – Hilary's family's full-time RV journey and what led her to join The Mothership.The Catalyst: Losing Her Father – Shifting life perspective for a new path.Struggles with Family Reactions – Opening up about guilt and mom's sense of abandonment.The Mother Story Realization – Discoveries through the inner child process.Unprocessed Grief Around Her Brother – Facing hidden emotions of fear, anger, and guilt tied to her brother's terminal illness and loss.Breakthrough with Her Mom – The pivotal moment when Hilary embodied the work.Owning Her Truth in Business and Life**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world. My 4-week Unblock Your Business immersion is coming up the second week of October.

This week, Ash is joined by bestselling author and speaker Amber Rae for a raw and inspiring conversation about self-discovery, love, and the courage to live authentically. Amber opens up about leaving a seemingly perfect marriage that lacked true connection, her bold move to Mexico, and the experiences that shaped her latest memoir, Lovable. Her story reminds us that growth often comes through messy, nonlinear choices and facing truths we'd rather avoid.

They discuss the pull between meeting others' expectations and honoring our own needs, and why intuition is essential in reconciling past and present versions of ourselves. They also highlight how transparency and honesty can transform both personal and professional connections. The conversation dives into attraction, compatibility, and the ways past traumas impact adult relationships. Ash and Amber reflect on conflict resolution, daily routines, and recognizing incompatibility as acts of courage and growth. Amber also shares how writing and reflection help heal generational patterns, offering tools to break cycles and create more fulfilling relationships.
