Reading comprehension issues, strict religion, ending a marriage, obsessing over weight, losing 7 people in 3 years and launching Couch to Active - with Lyn Lindbergh
Lyn was such a blast, discussing how she completed college even though she had a horrible reading comprehension issue (spelling was tough too!). We discuss ending her relationship with a strict religion, ending her marriage, obsessing over her weight, going corporate over teaching because it paid well, how exercise marketing is bullshit, building self-esteem, and having second chances...
Growing up in poverty, first in her family to finish high school, hating her life and finding what brings her joy - with Mica McCook
Mica's story will touch your heart. Growing up in poverty, loving theater, feeling like she didn't have a place, bouncing around and listless. Mica built baggage on her journey. She was the first in my family to graduate from high school. The first to go to college. She was also the first to drop out of college. One day she snapped with her boyfriend and said how she felt. "I hate my life!". Then came the rebuilding of the things she once loved, in a new way...
episode 17: Canada, US, Australia, getting a Masters of Social Work, IVF, getting pregnant, depression, anxiety, losing 4 people in 13 months and still positive - with Angela Henderson
Angela's laid back nature and mellow attitude about her struggles are phenomenal. We talked about choice, her journey with being in multiple countries, traveling, getting her Masters of Social Work, getting married and navigating the world, getting pregnant, IVF, depression, and anxiety and losing 4 people in a span of 13 months. Despite all that, she takes responsibility for herself, turns things around to see the positive and helps other women do the same. She is profound and exceptional...
episode 27: Feeling lost and gaining value from others, partying too hard, using sex to feel loved, a boyfriend that died at 29, hitting reset and finding her place - with Olivia Shwetz
When I read a bit about Olivia's story, I was ecstatic about our interview. SO common and not discussed enough. Feeling lost and that your value comes from other people, escaping with alcohol, partying too hard, using sex to feel loved. When Olivia realized she had alienated the people she loved most, when her boyfriend died at 29, when she felt the most alone - she hit the reset button and fell in love all over again. With herself, with her life, with a new man...
episode 28: She knew she'd be an attorney at 13, worked for SEGA, burned out, stressed, pregnant, divorced and learning to embrace who you are - with Sonya Sigler
Sonya and I talk about how she wanted to be a lawyer at 13, became one at 25, her first job as a lawyer at the video game company, SEGA! Dream job, crazy boss... and the years ensuing that would teach her what she's great at. Burn out, stress with finances, pregnancy, being a Mom, getting divorced and how to embrace who you are. In this case, it's using her undergrad in philosophy, her love of music and being a dogged advocate.

episode 29: Going from a prison doctor who was held by a prisoner for 10 hours and raped, to a published author advocating for prisoners, including having an ex-con as a roommate. Take 2 - with Karen Gedney
Karen and I met again for an update of information. As I know Karen personally, I get to see the impact she has made and is still making in the lives of prisoners - including having a former prisoner as a roommate in her house. Her focus is on using the prison system to rehabilitate people and send them into the world not only better than they came in but as contributing, adjusted people. She spends her time now teaching from the stage...
episode 29: Crippling anxiety while traveling the world, feeling not present in life with debilitating psychogenic pain to becoming a Life and Confidence Coach - with Savanna Schiavo
Savanna and I discussed crippling anxiety, doing amazing things but feeling overwhelmed and not present in the moment to the point that she had debilitating psychogenic pain. She learned how to change that, turn it around and not only move through her own anxiety but to become a Life and Confidence Coach. Through it all, she remained with the love of her life - which is amazing. She learned to let go of severe anxiety over health, safety, and money as well as feelings of self-doubt...
episode 30: Delivering a full-term baby that was dead, working as a physical therapist for horses and combining horse trauma and her trauma to heal them both and open that up to others - with Helen Brennand
Helen and I connected and it was so amazing. Taking writing and attaching the experience to a horse is so appealing to me as a writer, I longed to go visit her, let a horse "choose" me and write book #2. With such an amazing background, she allowed her experiences with the horses to shape how she designed her business. The work she's doing is so fantastic and I love her story.
