Viele Menschen auf der Welt werden in Lebensumstände geboren, die es erschweren wirklich ein erfülltes und glückliches Leben gestalten zu können. Armut, fehlende Schulbildung, Krieg, Traumata und viele weitere Herausforderungen lassen es fast unmöglich erscheinen, Träume zu haben und vor allem sie zu verfolgen. Menschen wie Tererai Trent zeigen, was alles möglich ist und ich freue mich so sehr, dass ich sie endlich für den Podcast interviewen durfte. In Simbabwe geboren, durfte sie, wie fast alle Mädchen, nicht zur Schule gehen. Sie wurde mit 14 Jahren verheiratet und hatte mit 18 bereits 4 Kinder. Wie sie es geschafft hat, trotzdem ihren Wunsch zu erfüllen, nach Amerika zu gehen, dort zu studieren und zu promovieren, erzählt sie uns in diesem bewegenden Interview. Wir sprechen über ihren Weg, ihr Familienschicksal zu verändern und vielen Mädchen und Frauen heute Zugang zu Bildung zu ermöglichen. Tererai ist eine solche Inspiration. Viel Spaß beim Anhören! Im Gespräch mit Tererai Trent erfährst du… ✨ wie du beginnen kannst, an deine Träume zu glauben, auch wenn sie unmöglich erscheinen, ✨ wie du dein Familienschicksal verändern kannst, ✨ was der entscheidende Schlüssel ist, um deine Träume zu manifestieren, ✨ wie du in Herausforderungen das Geschenk darin erkennen kannst, ✨ welche besondere Bedeutung das Wort "tinogona" hat und ✨ wieso Gemeinschaft und gegenseitige Unterstützung so wichtig sind für dein Glück. Ich hoffe sehr, dass dich Tererai's Stärke und Liebe erreicht und du viel aus dem Gespräch für dich mitnehmen kannst. Was war deine wertvollste Erkenntnis? Von welchen äußeren Umständen hast du dich vielleicht bisher abhalten lassen, wirklich für deine Träume loszugehen? Welches Familienthema möchtest du gern verändern? Ich freue mich auf deine Erkenntnisse und Gedanken zur Folge. Kommentiere super gerne auf Instagram @lauramalinaseiler oder auf dem Blog.

Tererai Trent, an academic from Zimbabwe, was in Dublin recently for the Simmons Leadership Conference. As a young girl born into poverty, Tererai was not allowed to attend her local school. Despite this, she went on to obtain a degree in agricultural education, a Masters in public health and in 2009, she completed her PhD. Oprah Winfrey once described Tererai as her all time favourite guest and from this inspiring conversation with Róisín Ingle, it’s easy to see why. Also in this episode: The Grass Ceiling is a short film created by Iseult Howlett. The film explores female participation in sport and looks at how being physically active and part of a team can benefit you in all aspects of life. Also in the discussion, is Irish Times restaurant critic Catherine Cleary, who along with Iseult has joined a soccer team in recent years. They spoke to Róisín Ingle about the strong female athletes featured in the film and the joy of returning to team sports.

You’ve heard the term ‘impact’ from the mouths of CEOs and management from many different industries, applied in many different ways. But what does it mean to be an ‘impact maker?’ Today Jennifer shares some heart-touching stories that served as the inspiration for this podcast’s name, and she talks about how to make the connection between changing the world and what we do in our everyday lives. One of the first movements Jennifer joined with the Game Change Campaign through her church. It allowed her to make a real difference in lives around the world through the International Justice Mission. Anjali’s story about being forced into prostitution as a child and being rescued from it changed what Jennifer understood about making an impact. You can hear her story here, at 42:30. Has anyone ever told you that you changed their life? That’s what making an impact truly is. Jennifer talks about how that moment was the start of a new purpose, or rather, honing in on it. Hear Jennifer’s DisruptHR talk here. The goal of this podcast is to help you see opportunities to make an impact by sharing stories of people who are changing the world without asking for any credit for it. We’ll help you uncover strategies to use and actions you can take in your daily lives that will help change the world. If you truly want to understand how making an impact changes lives, you need look no further than the story of Tererai Trent, who is also ‘Oprah’s favorite guest of all time.’ She started as an 18 year-old mother of four in a small village in Zimbabwe. Tererai crossed continents and supported a family of 7 while ultimately earning a Ph.D. Yes, she did meet Oprah, but that’s not the most amazing part of her story. You have to hear it to believe it, so listen to the full podcast: Lewis Howes interviews Tererai Trent. Understand the power of words. Today, Tererai Trent is a scholar, humanitarian, motivational speaker, educator, author, and founder of Tererai Trent International. She’s become one of the most well know, and internationally recognized voices for quality education and women's empowerment. And she’s also written a best-selling book, called The Awakened Woman – Remembering and Reigniting Our Sacred Dreams. Oprah was a defining person in Tererai’s life, so Jennifer wraps up her show today with the woman who has impacted millions, every day. When she was asked what her legacy would be, she didn’t give her own answer. Instead, she shared what Maya Angelou told Oprah what her legacy would be, and it’s amazing. The most amazing part is, as a person who wants to influence and impact the world around you, you can have the same type of legacy. What is YOUR dream?

"I REALIZED THE PATHWAY I WAS GOING THROUGH WAS SILENCING ME. I've learned that greatness can come from anywhere, everywhere, or anyone. It all starts with a dream, a vision. Of course one of the secrets is never giving up, but the biggest one is that it needs to be yours. You need to know that your goals are your goals, not something pushed on you by someone else. No matter where you are in your life, or what obstacles appear in your way, you can achieve it. I believe this now more than ever after sitting down with our most recent guest, Tererai Trent. Tererai was born in Zimbabwe, was forced into marriage as a child, and even gave birth to 4 children by the time she was 18. She came from a place where education wasn't an opportunity given to women. Tererai ended up pushing through so many obstacles and now had a PhD - and that's just the beginning of her incredible accomplishments. Tererai was named by Oprah as her All-Time Favorite Guest and received a $1.5 million donation to rebuild her childhood elementary school in recognition of her tenacity and never-give-up attitude. With the firm belief that education is the pathway out of poverty and a desire to give back to her community, she founded Tererai Trent International. Eleven schools are being built in Zimbabwe and education has been improved for over 5,000 children so far. And this is only the beginning. Today, Dr. Trent is invited to speak all over the world, to share her remarkable story and the valuable lessons she has learned along the way. She just came out with a new book all about empowering women to awaken to their full potential (she is the poster child of this). Her favorite motto is Tinogona, meaning, It is achievable! Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 596. Some Questions I ask: What interested you in agriculture? (16:15) What made you bring your 5 children and your abusive husband to America? (17:20) What was it like when you met the same woman who inspired you 14 years later? (26:26) Do boys have more access to education around the world? (36:10) What's your message to girls from privileged and non-privileged parts of the world? (40:36) How can anyone make an impact in the world? (42:43) What is available for a woman who is not sexually happy with herself? (46:05) What advice do you have for men to support the women in their lives? (48:15) What's your vision now? Have you planted new dreams? (50:00) In this episode you will learn: What it's like to be a young mother in Kenya (and mother of 4 by 18) (7:43) The struggles of raising kids in while going to school (21:18) The thoughts that helped Tererai find her greatness (23:12) How Tererai funded her dreams (30:09) How writing down her dreams helped her achieve them (37:28) The ways women have been silenced (44:40) A ritual someone can do to rekindle the fire within themselves (47:18) What makes Tererai whole (54:32) Plus much more...
Nikolai DiPippa, Clinton School Director of Public Programs, sat down with Tererai Trent, author of “The Awakened Woman: Remembering & Reigniting Our Sacred Dreams.” Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah’s stage as her “favorite guest of all time,” she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by eighteen, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Trent encountered a visiting American woman, Jo Luck of Heifer International, who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her Ph.D. but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them – power that can recreate our world for the better.
By age 18, Dr. Tererai Trent was a mother of four and she had no education. She wrote her dreams down on a piece of paper and buried it in the earth to grow. Today, Tererai has her Ph.D and she’s built 11 schools for girls in Zimbabwe where she's from. In this episode, we learn about two types of hunger. The Little Hunger, which is what you seek for instant gratification, and The Great Hunger, which is what gives your life purpose. Tererai walks us through how to identify our Great Hunger. Her new book, The Awakened Woman, has a chapter called Reclaiming your voice. I ask Tererai about her thoughts on the current paradigm shift we’re witnessing with women breaking their silence. She has a unique point-of-view on how women can choose to be accountable for contributing toward a solution versus being pegged as a victim. Tererai talks about the moment she decided to write her dreams down and bury them. Why did she do this and what was her thought-process. The question you should ask yourself if you want to identify your Great Hunger which will make your life more meaningful. What happened when Dr. Tererai went on The Oprah Show. Tererai's perspective on the current groundswell of women speaking up. What Tererai did after Oprah told her she doesn't write book forewards. (Eventually she wrote one for Tererai.) Advice Tererai would give to her younger self.
Dr. Tererai Trent is an internationally acclaimed voice for women’s empowerment and education.Hailed by Oprah Winfrey as her “all-time favorite guest,” Dr. Trent is an inspiring and dynamic scholar, educator, humanitarian, speaker, author, and the founder of Tererai International.Born in a small village with no electricity or running water in Zimbabwe (then, Rhodesia), she was married in her early teens as was the custom, had four children by age 18 and suffered repeated physical abuse from her husband.Still, she dreamed of a different reality, one that would break the generations-long cycle of poverty, early-marriage, illiteracy and disempowerment. Against all odds, she worked for 8 years to get her GED, and eventually earned a spot in college in the United States, taking her family with her, where some 20 years after beginning her dream of an education, she received her Ph.D..It was her secret additional dream to not only change her life, but to do something for the greater good that turned this into an even bigger story. Trent's story ended up in the pages of the New York Times, where Oprah Winfrey discovered her remarkable story and deeply-passionate quest to help educate women. Oprah offered to partner with Tererai to return to Zimbabwe and build a series of schools that are now raising thousands out of poverty and giving them an education and the life-changing opportunities that go along with it.Dr. Trent’s gripping story is both the topic of today's podcast, and is detailed her deeply-moving new book, The Awakened Woman – Remembering & Reigniting Our Sacred DreamsRockstar Sponsors:Thrive Market: Get $60 of FREE organic groceries + free shipping and a 30-day trial atthrivemarket.com/goodlife.RXBAR Kids is a snack bar made with high-quality, real ingredients designed specifically for kids.
