The TEDS Foundation was started by Brenda Schultz-McCarthy and her husband Sean McCarthy. Brenda is a former top 10 ranked professional tennis player, 2x Olympian & World Record Holder. Sean is a holistic health coach and peak performance expert.When Brenda was at the height of her career, she suffered a major back injury and was told she would never play tennis again. They tried everything from chiropractic, deep tissue massage, yoga, anti-inflammatory supplements, therapeutic diets and even surgery. While each of these methods offered some relief, Sean & Brenda still knew something was missing. Brenda and Sean discovered that the missing link was unconscious stress. They found that unless this stress is released, the body and mind can not fully heal. They began learning and developing various techniques to identify and eliminate unconscious stress.Seven years after she was told that she would never play again, Brenda returned to professional tennis and broke the world record for fastest serve in the world (130 MPH).After this incredible comeback, Sean & Brenda realized that the best way to address unconscious stress is by taking a holistic approach, focusing on every area of life, including:Stress management & emotional clearingsTherapeutic & strengthening physical trainingPersonalized nutrition & healing foodsHealthy lifestyle changesBeing a person of service to yourself, others & the planet.Brenda and Sean developed the TEDS approach to life to share this holistic approach by which people can get connected in all areas of their lives and learn to Think the right way, Eat the right way, Do the right things and be a person of Service.Since then, Sean and Brenda have taught these TEDS principles to hundreds of families, athletes and individuals to help them overcome major obstacles in their lives.Website: https://tedsfoundation.org/

Two years ago, Brenda was pregnant with twins. A few months prior to her due date, Brenda was hospitalized for 30+ days before being thrust into an emergency C-section. Due to the hospital’s capacity, her twins were transferred to another NICU - away from Brenda for the first few days of their lives. When Brenda met her twins for the first time, they were wearing masks and hooked up to IVs. After Brenda was able to take them home with her and her husband two months later, everything seemed out of place. Nothing was the way that Brenda thought it would be and soon after, she began to realize that something was seriously wrong. About a year later, Brenda was diagnosed with PTSD from her traumatic birth experience, and slowly she began to accept her experience and heal. 1.22 - Brenda’s Childhood3.43 - Life after University and getting pregnant with twins5.07 - The pregnancy7.20 - Pregnancy complications10.05 - Unexpected early birth12.08 - Post-birth in the NICU16.45 - Brenda realizes there’s something off19.40 - Brenda becomes a doula21.56 - Brenda’s diagnosis of PTSD22.32 - Amy’s reflection on Brenda’s story24.08 - Brenda’s treatment 27.46 - Brenda’s attachment to the idea of perfection31.50 - Amy’s concluding thoughts33.14 - How Brenda is doing today37.05 - Brenda’s dedication39.11 - Amy’s key takeawaysSupport the show (https://www.amysyed.ca/calmafterthestormpodcast)

Welcome, friends, to a brand new year! To some, a new year means setting resolutions to better oneself in hopes of attaining some form of perfection. Even in the Christian community, we have lists and ideas of what we could be doing better or more of in order to achieve the "storybook image". It doesn't take long to realize that the pursuit is futile, and yet many of us still insist everything is smooth sailing even though we're falling apart. That's how the title Life Beyond the Picket Fence came about. In this episode, Brenda talks about her own struggle to appear put together while at the same time facing some truly challenging life situations. We all do it, especially in the Christian culture and especially as women. When Brenda opened up about her struggles with Christian friends, she was met with judgement and blank stares. She ached for someone to just listen and be there. That's what we all crave, isn't it? A good friend who walks beside us during life's journey with love, grace, and transparency. That's why Brenda began blogging, writing, speaking, and podcasting in order to reach other women who craved this type of authentic community too. Life is messy and we need to know we are not alone or we're not the only ones messing up. We desire steadfast friendships we can lean on when life doesn't go as planned. We hope for mature, godly friends who can advise us or guide us through dark times. We crave a safe space to let our guard down. We hope this podcast can be that safe space for you. Whether we're talking about tough topics, practical tips, or biblical truths, we commit to doing so with love, grace, and transparency. Whatever it is you're going through, know you're not alone and you are loved.   Book Recommendations:  A Redesigned Life by Tracy Steel Suffering is Never for Nothing by Elizabeth Elliot    

Hello and welcome to twenty-ninth episode of Fanboy Nation’s Toon-In-Talk, your rendezvous for animation interviews. Concluding Whitney’s longer than expected series the Ladies of Animation is an interview with Academy Award winner director Brenda Chapman. Brenda is best recognized for her work as the writer and director of Pixar‘s Brave and the director of DreamWorks’s The Prince of Egypt. She also had an extraordinary career at Disney working on Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. Brenda Chapman has since embarked on an independent creative career with her husband, director Kevin Lima. Show Notes Brenda Chapman is the director of Brave and Prince of Egypt. She has worked in the animation industry since the early days of the Disney Renaissance and first worked on The Little Mermaid. As many an animator, Brenda grew up watching Looney Toons and through close, personal connections contacted Disney Feature Animation, who sent her a brochure about CalArts. The main influence on Brenda’s work was her mother. Brenda had the privilege to know legendary animator Joe Ranft and he encouraged her to concentrate more on storytelling. Brenda has experience storytelling for the screen and page. The biggest difference for her is that regular prose writing demands more detail that is usually visually communicated. When Brenda was applying for jobs after CalArts, she put together a portfolio consisting of her clean-up work and tossed in a storyboard in the back. Disney loved her storyboard over her clean-up animation. She shared that the only reason why Disney hired her was due to her gender, but once she was in the department Brenda never felt any discrimination. Whitney is curious about the chaotic neutral will o’wisps in Brave and Brenda clears up her confusion. Brenda shares the lowdown on George Lucas’s Strange Magic that delivered an odd story. In short, there wasn’t much of a story to begin with. Brenda shared that getting a greenlight and keeping her job on an animated film are some of the biggest challenges she faced. Brenda is keeping busy with many writing projects and is starting a company with her husband. Brenda’s husband, Kevin Lima, isn’t a stranger to animation. He directed Disney’s Tarzan, Enchanted, and A Goofy Movie. Brenda declares that girls need to get out there and animate.

Brenda is 60 years-old, she worked for 35 years, she is a college graduate, and she sleeps on the sidewalk of New York City. I was a little shocked when Brenda told me she sleeps right here on the streets of New York City. With all the people walking by and the noise, I cannot imagine finding comfort enough to close my eyes. But for Brenda, that's where she feels safe. When Brenda lived in San Diego, she was entering a bus, and the driver didn't see her got on. When the driver moved the door to take off, Brenda was knocked to the ground. Then when the driver pulled away, her leg slammed into the steel door. Brenda was seriously injured. An ambulance took her to the hospital, but the accident was not reported with the proper protocol. Brenda then started legal proceedings and filed a lawsuit. The lawyer that was recommended to her wasn't honest, and the case never went anywhere. The judge dismissed the case and told Brenda she has every right to sue, but she would have to start all over again. Brenda now receives $720 a month from Social Security, and that's not even close to enough to afford a place to stay. At 9:26 I ask Brenda what she would want people to know about homelessness. She shares about how people are judgmental even about her wearing lipstick. Whenever I post a video with a woman that is trying to take care of herself by wearing makeup, lots of people freak out. They have a hard time understanding that homeless women still have the self-worth and decency to look presentable. Most people that are experiencing homelessness do not look homeless. There is little to no education focused on teaching the general public the true realities of homelessness so people hold on to a lot of misconceptions.

When Brenda and I were in Israel this past winter, we had a tour guide who took us to the very spot supposedly where Jesus was born in Bethlehem. We also had a chance to tour Golgatha and the Garden Tomb, the places where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried. But as thrilling as it was to tour those biblical sites from the past, I can get even more excited about the tour John gives us of the […]

Show Notes: 0:01 Natalie shares how she followed up on listener’s request to have career insights by inviting Kim Feil on the show. 2:14 Natalie and Kim first met at an HBA (Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association) Chicago program. They talk about how important creating your own Advisory Circle and why it is so helpful 2:38 Kim talks about women who expressed not liking networking and she asks: “What do you think Networking means?  It isn’t about creating a big fat rolodex it is about learning from people within, across and outside your industry so you can learn from them.” 3:40 Kim and Natalie discuss how Kim met three executive women who were on the HBA panel, 14 years ago-how they have helped each other with support and advice. 4:14: What was it like to have Brenda Barnes, former CEO of Sara Lee and Pepsi Co. as a mentor early on in Kim’s career in 1984.  She describes how Brenda cultivated her teams to hit high goals.  Brenda was a role model for Kim over her career.  5:06 Brenda Barnes achieved great results-not because she was a woman.  It was her leadership that really made her a great CEO. 6:15 Kim describes what happened when Brenda Barnes decided to take 7 years off to raise her children and how she was asked - aren’t you taking a step back.  Even Katie Couric questioned Brenda about leaving to go take care of her children.  When Brenda came back to work she was all in and unfortunately at age 55 had a debilitating stroke and had her second stroke that eventually ended her life. 6:59 Brenda’s story is an example of how we are “executive athletes” and we don’t think enough of what that means to our overall well-being. 8:10 Kim describes what it is like to work as an executive and that you are there to make change happen. She shares her personal experience of what it is like to be at the top and how so much of your time is taken up with administrative activities like HR decisions and while they are all important they aren’t necessarily directly related to improving the business or team performance. 10:00 How to manage a time in times of change-The basics are what works.  Every job is demanding, it is really important to be a leader who gets results and not an administrator. You have to have a highly talented team who work really well together. You have to be a caring leader and know how to determine whether you have the right talent on your team.  If you surround yourself with great people your team will flex. You have to really trust your people and not be a micro manager. You have to play general on the battle field. You have trust if you have good talent they will follow you. Set expectations regularly so that your high performing team knows what is coming up. You have to be responsive and communicate clearly so there are no surprises 13:10 How Women can be seen as a leader. 13:43 Top Five Tips about Leadership Don’t be seen as a leader-be a leader. Face time, long hours at the office isn’t a sign of a great leader. Great leaders need to be able to express a solid, simple vision. Be able to Engage your talent so they understand the vision. You have to get results-you can be loved but if you don’t hit the numbers, you won’t ever be viewed as a leader. In the end you are judged not by what you do but how you do it. 14:44 The How is really what people are looking to:  It is good to ask yourself: “If someone had to describe me as a leader right now, how would they describe me?”    “What would they say I do really do well, and what would they say I don’t do really well?” Work on the things you don’t do really well. 15:30 People think hours equate to the results-instead of focusing on results.  Kim adds that she “watches young leaders all the time try to get to perfection the real truth, is that in today’s fast moving environment, having an answer that is 85-90% accurate in half the time and execute well against it is better than having an answer that 101% perfect answer and be late. 16:39 Many people slave away over the last 2-5% instead of getting the job done. Don’t be late to get to 100%. 17:27 There are numerous studies that women will stand back and wait until they are fully qualified. The real “acid test” is not whether you have all the boxes checked but whether “you believe you can be successful in the role.”  18:15 If you can see how you can get results go for it.  The worst thing you can do is stretch into a role that you aren’t able to do.  Kim describes a situation where a woman might take on a new role with a great title and fail at it and lose her job instead of working her way toward the promotion. 18:57 In her career Kim had been approached by IRI CEO’s to consider a different role and at face value they may not have seemed like a fit.  She knew what the clients wanted and got along well with the tech people and launched Ecomm program and made $10 million in 6 months. 18:18 It is also o.k. to accept a position and say that you would like to fill a position to round out the team.  One of the top positions Kim has always had is a financial guru to be able to get a full picture and advice.  21:42 How to Get Promoted in your organization-  Kim describes her background and how she got to see the world from a 360 degree view.  She worked at Frito Lay, Dr Pepper/7UP  Sara Lee, consulting firm IRI and then two retailers Walgreens and Office Max.  Kim got to see the world from all 3 sides.  Five Career Planning Tips: Make sure you are always thinking ahead of the business, if you see there is an opportunity in another function. Step back and connect your capabilities to that function.  Ignore the literal job description, look to find a way to do what your vision is for the position. “Your career is yours”, if you want to go from here to there don’t wait for people to let you do it. Don’t have any barriers-think of which way you want to expand your capabilities. Build a broad base of capability, technical and leadership. You don’t have to grow vertically you can grow laterally and gain the skills you need to move forward. Your career is a marathon not a sprint 26:46 Kim describes what it was like making a pivot four years ago and how much she is enjoying being an entrepreneur. 27:27 What does it look like to launch a new career for the next 20 year chapter? When she set out on this journey, Kim set 4 goals to achieve: Be CEO of emerging company Get on a public board Go deeper in volunteerism and fundraising, devote more meaningful time to that Learn all she could to learn about entrepreneur and the venture capital system Within 8 months, she was CEO, she served on 3 boards and chaired American Heart campaign and broke records and met private equity firms who could teach her how venture capital works.   28:41 if you are a person with a lot of curiosity and can parlay your experience, then go for it!  29:50 Kim discusses how to draw boundaries in corporate life and also as an Entrepreneur.  How to get a lot more done in a lot less time and be flexible but it is still hard work you are taking risks. 31:41 The obvious way to stay energized is to stay healthy.  In addition, doing more fulfilling things like having time to mentor and do charity work makes a difference. 32:14 How mentoring people helps you learn from others and give back 32:39 How to have the purpose driven life- finding joy. 33:26 How to stay on track with time management-plan the month and have a rigorous to do list by business type or volunteerism. 33:20 As an entrepreneur there are still only 24 hours in a day.  Block time, review a calendar and not over schedule. 34:10 Favorite Book- The Pursuit of Wow by Tom Peters; there are two to three page case studies and is easy to read in short increments. 35:20  Learn more about Kim Feil: She is CEO of bizHiv www.bizhiv.com She is the lead investor for Aspire Healthy Energy Drinks www.aspiredrinks.com healthy drink no carb with lots of B vitamins.  You can find also find Kim on LinkedIn 36:40 Last Word of Advice: Just enjoy your career-the days when it feels really hard remember life is more than that and really LeanIn in to it.
