      <title>How Jamal went from divorced and homeless to marrying the woman of his dreams</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jamal Jivanjee is a best-selling author, podcaster, and full time life coach. As an author with over twenty years of experience working with people in various stages of personal struggle and challenges, after traveling to many cultures around the globe, and now as a full-time life coach, Jamal is passionate about serving individuals, couples, companies, and groups on the path toward enlightenment, wholeness, and liberation.  </p><p> </p><p>By helping to identify and clear energetic systems of belief that create fear, disharmony, and disease, Jamal seeks to restore awareness of the ever present and unitive divine flow of abundance, good will, and love that exists for us all physically, mentally, and spiritually.</p><p> </p><p>In this podcast episode, Jamal delves into his personal journey of questioning the purpose of life and religion. Growing up with parents who struggled and suffered, he couldn't understand why their devout faith didn't seem to address the roots of their trauma. This led him on a journey to discover what was real and what wasn't, eventually stepping down from his position as a pastor to deconstruct his belief system.  </p><p> </p><p>He shares how his upbringing shaped his perspective on life being a struggle and how becoming a young father made him question the worth of trading his life away for a paycheck.

As an author with over twenty years of experience working with people in various stages of personal struggle and challenges, after traveling to many cultures around the globe, and now as a full-time life coach, Jamal is passionate about serving individuals, couples, companies, and groups on the path toward enlightenment, wholeness, and liberation.  </p><p> </p><p>By helping to identify and clear energetic systems of belief that create fear, disharmony, and disease, Jamal seeks to restore awareness of the ever present and unitive divine flow of abundance, good will, and love that exists for us all physically, mentally, and spiritually.</p><p> </p><p>In this podcast episode, Jamal delves into his personal journey of questioning the purpose of life and religion. Growing up with parents who struggled and suffered, he couldn't understand why their devout faith didn't seem to address the roots of their trauma. This led him on a journey to discover what was real and what wasn't, eventually stepping down from his position as a pastor to deconstruct his belief system.  </p><p> </p><p>He shares how his upbringing shaped his perspective on life being a struggle and how becoming a young father made him question the worth of trading his life away for a paycheck.

      <title>Trying to Impress my father after he died: Ed Slover</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>If you love the show and would like to support it, please share this episode!  You can also<a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coachjonm"> Buy Me A Coffee</a>! ☕❤️ <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coachjonm">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coachjonm</a>    </p><p>As an indie podcaster, that would mean the world to me!</p><p> </p><p>In Ed's words: "I have an insatiable appetite for learning about all things, but more specifically, why people do what they do. "What" people do is self-evident, as they wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't achieving some time of payoff. The "why," however, is far more interesting.</p><p><br />This appetite for learning was born out of my father dying when I was 13. Wanting to make him proud, I poured myself into academic and professional pursuits that, ultimately, left me feeling dissatisfied with life. I knew there was more and I started my quest to find out what that was.<br /><br />Having had an "on again, off again" relationship with God most of my adult life, I decided to engage in consistent, quiet self-reflection. If there was a God, I thought, I would hear His whisper. And I did.<br /><br />Today, I am an unabashed Christian (not a Bible-thumping one), and his faith serves as the foundation from which he treats others and conducts business. I am a published author and researcher, public speaker, podcast host, award-winning educator, and business coach/consultant who is fiercely passionate about individuals and businesses realizing their full potential. <br /><br />I hold multiple degrees, including a Doctor of Management in Organizational Leadership, a Master of Science in Psychology, and a Master of Arts in Organizational Management. I am also holds certifications as a Master Coach in Life Transformation and as a Certified Resilience Practitioner.<br /><br />Most importantly, I'm humble. I know there is always more to learn and am committed to finding out what that is." </p><p>ABOUT ED PROFESSIONALLY:</p><p>As the President and Founder of Quest Consulting Service, LLC, and Host of The Quest4Life Podcast, Dr. Ed Slover helps individuals and businesses undergo a transformation that allows them to become more resilient and achieve abundant success. <br /> </p><p>As a dynamic, influential thought leader, university professor, and inspirational speaker, he has the ability to instantly connect with others through his relatability, his emphasis on empowering others, and his business acumen. <br /><br />After achieving leadership roles and six figure salaries in the corporate world, Ed longed to make a more significant impact. His journey led him into higher education where he influences and inspires his students on a daily basis. More recently, he founded Quest Consulting Service, LLC so he can make more of an impact in people’s lives. </p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH ED: </p><p>https://thequest4life.com/  </p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

"What" people do is self-evident, as they wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't achieving some time of payoff. The "why," however, is far more interesting.</p><p><br />This appetite for learning was born out of my father dying when I was 13. Wanting to make him proud, I poured myself into academic and professional pursuits that, ultimately, left me feeling dissatisfied with life. I knew there was more and I started my quest to find out what that was.<br /><br />Having had an "on again, off again" relationship with God most of my adult life, I decided to engage in consistent, quiet self-reflection. If there was a God, I thought, I would hear His whisper. And I did.<br /><br />Today, I am an unabashed Christian (not a Bible-thumping one), and his faith serves as the foundation from which he treats others and conducts business. I am a published author and researcher, public speaker, podcast host, award-winning educator, and business coach/consultant who is fiercely passionate about individuals and businesses realizing their full potential. <br /><br />I hold multiple degrees, including a Doctor of Management in Organizational Leadership, a Master of Science in Psychology, and a Master of Arts in Organizational Management. I am also holds certifications as a Master Coach in Life Transformation and as a Certified Resilience Practitioner.<br /><br />Most importantly, I'm humble. I know there is always more to learn and am committed to finding out what that is." </p><p>ABOUT ED PROFESSIONALLY:</p><p>As the President and Founder of Quest Consulting Service, LLC, and Host of The Quest4Life Podcast, Dr. Ed Slover helps individuals and businesses undergo a transformation that allows them to become more resilient and achieve abundant success. <br /> </p><p>As a dynamic, influential thought leader, university professor, and inspirational speaker, he has the ability to instantly connect with others through his relatability, his emphasis on empowering others, and his business acumen. <br /><br />After achieving leadership roles and six figure salaries in the corporate world, Ed longed to make a more significant impact.

Then he stabbed her. Seven times. </p><p>She lost 21 pints of blood. Statistically, she should not have survived. And if that wasn’t enough, she was victim-blamed and -shamed by the investigating police, hospital staff, family and friends, and even strangers. </p><p>Now, she’s telling her amazing story of survival: candidly, honestly, courageously. Hoping that in doing so, she will help others do the same.</p><p>Her book, "Choosing Survival: How I Endured a Brutal Attack and a Lifetime of Trauma Through the Power of Action, Choice and Self-Expression," details her attack, her miraculous and difficult recovery, and tips for anyone overcoming trauma or struggle.</p><p>Lynn is a dancer and actor. She has also written, produced, directed, and starred in two short films, one of which is getting ready to enter the film festival circuit. She still pursues all of these interests and looks forward to combining these skills with her passion for healing through the arts.</p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH LYNN: </p><p>IMBD: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5945468/?ref_=vp_close">https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5945468/?ref_=vp_close</a></p><p> WEBSITE: <a href="https://www.lynnforney.com/">https://www.lynnforney.com/</a></p><p>AMAZON: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Survival-Endured-Lifetime-Expression/dp/B0B2K88M2K">https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Survival-Endured-Lifetime-Expression/dp/B0B2K88M2K </a></p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION:<a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com"> https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE:<a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube"> https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE:<a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book"> https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE:<a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge"> https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST:<a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast"> https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP:<a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com"> https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

Then he stabbed her. Seven times. </p><p>She lost 21 pints of blood. Statistically, she should not have survived. And if that wasn’t enough, she was victim-blamed and -shamed by the investigating police, hospital staff, family and friends, and even strangers. </p><p>Now, she’s telling her amazing story of survival: candidly, honestly, courageously. Hoping that in doing so, she will help others do the same.</p><p>Her book, "Choosing Survival: How I Endured a Brutal Attack and a Lifetime of Trauma Through the Power of Action, Choice and Self-Expression," details her attack, her miraculous and difficult recovery, and tips for anyone overcoming trauma or struggle.</p><p>Lynn is a dancer and actor. She has also written, produced, directed, and starred in two short films, one of which is getting ready to enter the film festival circuit. She still pursues all of these interests and looks forward to combining these skills with her passion for healing through the arts.</p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH LYNN: </p><p>IMBD: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5945468/?ref_=vp_close">https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5945468/?ref_=vp_close</a></p><p> WEBSITE: <a href="https://www.lynnforney.com/">https://www.lynnforney.com/</a></p><p>AMAZON: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Survival-Endured-Lifetime-Expression/dp/B0B2K88M2K">https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Survival-Endured-Lifetime-Expression/dp/B0B2K88M2K </a></p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION:<a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com"> https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE:<a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube"> https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE:<a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book"> https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE:<a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge"> https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST:<a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast"> https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP:<a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com"> https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>If you love the show and would like to support it, please share this episode!  You can also <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coachjonm" target="_blank">Buy Me A Coffee</a>! ☕❤️ As an indie podcaster, that would mean the world to me!</p><p>------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Amanda Zeine, DO, FAAP always dreamed of being a doctor.  She studied premed, graduated college, was commissioned into US and given educational delay to attend med school.  She did her residency in Pediatrics at Tripler in Hawaii.  Graduating from medical school in 2007, she had her dream career.   </p><p>Upon graduation from residency, Amanda moved to Ft. Campbell and quickly deployed as flight surgeon with aviation unit.  She was then moved to the hospital to actually practice as pediatrician for 4 years.  Following another deployment she was able to work her way up to Chief of Pediatrics at the Community Hospital on base at Ft. Campbell.  At this point she was a Major in the Army. </p><p>That all changed with a traumatic brain injury in 2018 leading to memory loss, loss of identity, and having to medically retire from the US Army.   Amanda was moved into the Warrior Transition Battalion to allow healing and continued treatment by the TBI clinic. </p><p>After her injury, she had severe complications causing a loss of identity, worsening depression, and weight gain.  It's one thing to recover from an injury.  It's another thing altogether when that injury includes brain damage.   Amanda went from a thriving leader and physician to a hot mess on her couch in the dark having migraines daily and significant balance issues.  About a year and a half later she was improved greatly, but still unable to function in her previous profession. She'd had enough of depression with resulting obesity.</p><p>Amanda now has a new vision of herself and has begun the journey from  Hot mess to Wellness, including becoming a published author and now a speaker as well.  </p><p>A little about Amanda's book, also titled: Hot Mess to Wellness: 7 Steps To Wellness When You've Tried It All and Had Enough</p><p>Hot Mess to Wellness asks: <i>"Are you unhappy with your weight, body, or health issues?

Campbell and quickly deployed as flight surgeon with aviation unit.  She was then moved to the hospital to actually practice as pediatrician for 4 years.  Following another deployment she was able to work her way up to Chief of Pediatrics at the Community Hospital on base at Ft. Campbell.  At this point she was a Major in the Army. </p><p>That all changed with a traumatic brain injury in 2018 leading to memory loss, loss of identity, and having to medically retire from the US Army.   Amanda was moved into the Warrior Transition Battalion to allow healing and continued treatment by the TBI clinic. </p><p>After her injury, she had severe complications causing a loss of identity, worsening depression, and weight gain.  It's one thing to recover from an injury.  It's another thing altogether when that injury includes brain damage.   Amanda went from a thriving leader and physician to a hot mess on her couch in the dark having migraines daily and significant balance issues.  About a year and a half later she was improved greatly, but still unable to function in her previous profession. She'd had enough of depression with resulting obesity.</p><p>Amanda now has a new vision of herself and has begun the journey from  Hot mess to Wellness, including becoming a published author and now a speaker as well.  </p><p>A little about Amanda's book, also titled: Hot Mess to Wellness: 7 Steps To Wellness When You've Tried It All and Had Enough</p><p>Hot Mess to Wellness asks: <i>"Are you unhappy with your weight, body, or health issues?

      <title>From rare illness and medical horror to survivor, advocate and trailblazer</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>If you love the show and would like to support it, please share this episode!  You can also <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coachjonm" target="_blank">Buy Me A Coffee</a>! ☕❤️ As an indie podcaster, that would mean the world to me!</p><p>------------------------------------------------------</p><p>In early 2011, Holly was a healthy twenty-six year old who had just given birth to her first child, her daughter Casey. When Casey was less than a month old, Holly was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain- Barre Syndrome (GBS). The disorder progressed very quickly and within 72 hours of her first symptom, she was in the ICU on life support. </p><p>Holly spent almost three months paralyzed from the neck down, breathing on a ventilator, unable to move, speak, or hold her newborn baby girl. When she finally started to recover, she had to learn how to do everything again, including how to breathe off the ventilator, how to use her hands and feed herself, how to hold her daughter, and eventually how to walk again. Her daughter was almost 6 months old when she was finally able to return to her life as a wife and new mom.</p><p>After months of hard work and rehabilitation, Holly made an almost complete recovery. She then wrote her book, “Happily Ever After”, to share with others what she went through. Her goal in sharing her story was to reach others going through GBS and to create some much needed awareness on this rare but devastating illness. She wanted her story to remind others that through the difficult times in your life, you can find your strength. Her journey is documented in her viral YouTube Video –  Holly’s Journey: From Guillain -Barre Syndrome to Happily Ever After.</p><p>Only a few years after her recovery, Holly found herself rebuilding her life all over again following the end of her decade long marriage. Instead of letting the struggles in her life break her, she used them to become stronger. Holly got herself a gym membership, and fell in love with fitness. She refused to make excuses or let her weaknesses hold her back, and gave it her all. Knowing that she had been in a wheelchair and used a walker at one point only helped her to push herself. Her determination and perseverance helped her conquer her goals, and she is now a certified fitness trainer in the best shape of her life, helping others find their strength.</p><p>Holly’s experience put her on a new path in life, and she looks back on her struggle as one of the best things to happen to her. She is now the Vice President on the Board of Directors with GBS/CIDP Foundation of Canada and connects with others through her <i>Holly After GBS</i> social media pages, in hopes of inspiring them to never, ever give up.</p><p>Holly now shares a life with her fiance and their blended family of five in Edmonton, Canada. Her new book <i>Life Support </i> replaces <i>Happily Ever After</i>,  published in January 2023.</p><p>CONNECT WITH HOLLY:</p><p><a href="https://hollyaftergbs.com/">https://hollyaftergbs.com/ </a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hollyaftergbs">https://www.youtube.com/hollyaftergbs </a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollyaftergbs/">https://www.instagram.com/hollyaftergbs/ </a></p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a>⁣</p><p>YOUTUBE: <a href="https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube">https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube</a></p><p>CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p>

When Casey was less than a month old, Holly was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain- Barre Syndrome (GBS). The disorder progressed very quickly and within 72 hours of her first symptom, she was in the ICU on life support. </p><p>Holly spent almost three months paralyzed from the neck down, breathing on a ventilator, unable to move, speak, or hold her newborn baby girl. When she finally started to recover, she had to learn how to do everything again, including how to breathe off the ventilator, how to use her hands and feed herself, how to hold her daughter, and eventually how to walk again. Her daughter was almost 6 months old when she was finally able to return to her life as a wife and new mom.</p><p>After months of hard work and rehabilitation, Holly made an almost complete recovery. She then wrote her book, “Happily Ever After”, to share with others what she went through. Her goal in sharing her story was to reach others going through GBS and to create some much needed awareness on this rare but devastating illness. She wanted her story to remind others that through the difficult times in your life, you can find your strength. Her journey is documented in her viral YouTube Video –  Holly’s Journey: From Guillain -Barre Syndrome to Happily Ever After.</p><p>Only a few years after her recovery, Holly found herself rebuilding her life all over again following the end of her decade long marriage. Instead of letting the struggles in her life break her, she used them to become stronger. Holly got herself a gym membership, and fell in love with fitness. She refused to make excuses or let her weaknesses hold her back, and gave it her all. Knowing that she had been in a wheelchair and used a walker at one point only helped her to push herself. Her determination and perseverance helped her conquer her goals, and she is now a certified fitness trainer in the best shape of her life, helping others find their strength.</p><p>Holly’s experience put her on a new path in life, and she looks back on her struggle as one of the best things to happen to her. She is now the Vice President on the Board of Directors with GBS/CIDP Foundation of Canada and connects with others through her <i>Holly After GBS</i> social media pages, in hopes of inspiring them to never, ever give up.</p><p>Holly now shares a life with her fiance and their blended family of five in Edmonton, Canada. Her new book <i>Life Support </i> replaces <i>Happily Ever After</i>,  published in January 2023.</p><p>CONNECT WITH HOLLY:</p><p><a href="https://hollyaftergbs.com/">https://hollyaftergbs.com/ </a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hollyaftergbs">https://www.youtube.com/hollyaftergbs </a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollyaftergbs/">https://www.instagram.com/hollyaftergbs/ </a></p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a>⁣</p><p>YOUTUBE: <a href="https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube">https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube</a></p><p>CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p>

Lesley lives with her duck hunting husband, an argumentative 7 year old and a rambunctious 6 year old who are required to put up with her bursting into song should the mood strike.</p><p>Lesley is passionate about supporting women, especially in leadership roles.</p><p> </p><p>CONNECT WITH LESLEY:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/lesleyerin29/</p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/?fbclid=IwAR0Csuao0_n4ukfOoKObdXph82offn52FYfquyICWoPj3LK1IkQRoUcby_Y" target="_blank">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a> ⁣</p><p>⁣MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jonmclernon.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3g3AldUdrA3xJLFgCzdzsMJj6cc1-DioDpmmUhd9Om_8FrXzY5_YhogII&h=AT1irCy498PnjzyhhYWwuQGCNrhEWw6SrnjyZOWlNkZ5hnHS5mv3MIjcGKCKKtzI5xtlJt_O5RHAKtPfDwDR_RUvBD5xMcyahzZg2-8wr52-xvXQZNOgmoBxvD4UCZ4swg&__tn__=-UK-R" target="_blank">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube?fbclid=IwAR39RudWlkUCiSHWDJu1BkxDQpm9_32YrdVoVxPVG__Ik0zDgvCSrGSxW_s" target="_blank">https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freedomnutritioncoach.com%2Fbook%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0FX6qSaugQF5befcSWXY2HxEFe6qwHMCUnN3ilYBoaluM8E3UM2GES2Ro&h=AT2nmUQqpS-oBfAfnvgZcVJ0GxUso4tPE4XQUuNBU865JViG0vDhN-Wt3mELPzRLumW01DxyaZWuR3sausZMZzALKHWLb_dzwNOyD57DCjf9qDqjo-6e_qcpADk00S3h4w&__tn__=-UK-R" target="_blank">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a> ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freedomnutritioncoach.com%2F7-day-challenge%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0d3FuDlqnYREc9LE-Q-sWDUtAhpU7ulkBps3W2_Dx3l7SP69-vaga_cnA&h=AT3w0vulqQv0O2tNFOvqWnWls7obv06RQELeHpYmq5IigeWAa8dz1WbMhcKwMUX2DvJEgOfFOMhOimR44nkYnYiZTvMXpOQxuiy8gLDPiciHmUGaS6Q98whG0oe832axFg&__tn__=-UK-R" target="_blank">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffreedomnutrition.rocks%2Fbtba-podcast%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0Ywk6KZCmaEwaS5DVC26mygX52_bxfYQBQpMakPsQ7Bmz-TooTpXzyFqk&h=AT1Nav6cqMfuvWeQ9KYaPFnzPyfdOC3kkVMZ76RzeSEy2vayEN__bhBein_Ik4oHrdIlPOFd1IJYpHjpng9giNtSZxy2XzehFCDeX6_scNPynbqYeUxY6sxegFPv7Q1lJg&__tn__=-UK-R" target="_blank">https://freedomnutrition.rocks/btba-podcast</a></p>

He has appeared in productions including Freddy Vs Jason, Door to Door, Carrie, and the musical Ragtime.</p><p>Along the way, his journey has had several painful hardships that nearly made him give up. But his resilience and dogged determination kept him moving forward.</p><p>He is currently the Managing Director of Total-Buy-In and author of the #1 best-selling book The Power to Speak Naked.</p><p>Tyler has been an actor and performer for 35 years.

      <title>Reggie McKiver: How a SWAT Commander was guided by a personal spirit guide</title>

From Navy, to police officer to commander and special operations.<br /><br />Now, as an author and success coach, Reggie helps others unlock their gifts and potential.<br /><br />But to get there, he had to go through some dark places himself.<br /><br />Reggie shares something he has never shared before publicly in this powerful episode.</p><p>Becoming one of the most sought after speakers and coaches in the world has taken Reginald Mckiver on an enjoyable and life-inspiring path. Reginald has been helping people find themselves for over 25 years before there was “coaching” and he simply referred to himself as just being a good friend. </p><p>After graduation, Reginald enlisted in the United States Navy while pursuing his education and exploring the world. He then began leading classes in which he talked to people from over 27 countries while taking the time to learn from each culture visited.</p><p>After the United States Navy, Reginald joined the Bennettsville Police Department where he quickly climbed the ladder achieving the rank of Sergeant in only 2 years. While being the youngest shift commander, Reginald structured his shifts around the officers who presented him with the most challenges; this way, he was forced to always work hard and be at his best. Reginald went on from there and showed a passion for helping youth. </p><p>Along with his Chief of Police, Reginald created the Crossroads Program, a program focused on helping at-risk youth stay in school. Reginald funded this program mostly from grants and money from his own pocket. He started one of the first known scared straight programs and offered guidance to other departments that wanted to start their own.</p><p>Reginald believed in waking up the gifts inside of every child, and not punishing them. From that, he received an award for the #1 program in the state focused on helping youth, while having an unheard of success rate of over 88%. He believed that everyone has a unique code and way of learning and continues to extend that to youth and adults today. </p><p>Reginald left that position and was promoted to lieutenant —commanding all of the night shifts; he was a state-wide police trainer on ethics, and a member of the police department's Special Operations and Response Team (S.O.R.T)  with over 18 years of service. </p><p>During that time, Reginald pastored a church for 9 years, opened a retail store where he saw clients from across the country on metaphysics, herbs, and mindset, and took his business to a 6 figure profit in one year in a place that said it couldn’t be done. Reginald did this without a loan, but by what he describes as the power to look within. From this position, Reginald moved to Los Angeles and found himself with nothing. </p><p>So, again, he used the power within to start his corporate coaching business and personal coaching. He took his clients straight to the top while helping them earn the top production awards in their companies. He began coaching all over the world and started his own personal development school. </p><p>Reginald is serious and has a passion to fulfill his vision. What is that vision? Helping everyone understand why they are here, how to identify the mental blocks that have been holding them back, and how to take the gifts from those blocks and help the world. </p><p>He develops a vision for each individual client and believes that his vision is so strong that they will all change the world. Since birth, Reginald has been an entrepreneur and has been on several shows, including The Dr. Oz Show and various other regional and national talk shows —but all that matters to him is you. His personal clients include some of the best therapists, psychotherapists, actors, doctors, scientists, and the list goes on. <br /><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH REGGIE:<br />WEB: <a href="https://thereggiemckiver.com/about" target="_blank">https://thereggiemckiver.com/about</a><br /><br />FB: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007024578821" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007024578821</a><br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

I'm passionate about walking with women that want more out of life than just the status quo! That want to live a life that recognizes that whatever we do -LOVE IS THE POINT!</p><p>I believe that life doesn't have to work out exactly the way we think it "should" in order to be enjoyed.</p><p>I believe that people don't have to be perfect in order to be loved.</p><p>I believe that each one of us has a voice of truth inside of us, but that sometimes it can be hard to hear.</p><p>And most importantly I believe that we must live between the tension of accepting the things we can't change while taking massive action on the things we can!</p><p>There are so many of us that wake up at a certain time in our lives and are confused about how we got where we are. We have often done everything we thought we "should" do, but somehow we don't feel satisfied or fulfilled. Life seems to come at us so fast that we don't have a lot of time to process all the things that happen in our lives and all the things that are expected of us.</p><p>​I create a space where women can slow down and process all the things that are controlling their lives - their everyday thoughts, emotions and the stories they have been telling themselves. A space where they can look at their inner world, gain valuable insight, and then reclaim their personal authority and make conscious decisions that transform the way they experience their lives!"<br /><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH MEG:<br />FB: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/meg.heppner.5" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/meg.heppner.5</a><br />WEB: <a href="http://www.megheppner.com/" target="_blank">www.megheppner.com</a><br />MEETUP: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SoulSisterGroupCoaching" target="_blank">www.meetup.com/SoulSisterGroupCoaching</a><br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

That want to live a life that recognizes that whatever we do -LOVE IS THE POINT!</p><p>I believe that life doesn't have to work out exactly the way we think it "should" in order to be enjoyed.</p><p>I believe that people don't have to be perfect in order to be loved.</p><p>I believe that each one of us has a voice of truth inside of us, but that sometimes it can be hard to hear.</p><p>And most importantly I believe that we must live between the tension of accepting the things we can't change while taking massive action on the things we can!</p><p>There are so many of us that wake up at a certain time in our lives and are confused about how we got where we are. We have often done everything we thought we "should" do, but somehow we don't feel satisfied or fulfilled. Life seems to come at us so fast that we don't have a lot of time to process all the things that happen in our lives and all the things that are expected of us.</p><p>​I create a space where women can slow down and process all the things that are controlling their lives - their everyday thoughts, emotions and the stories they have been telling themselves. A space where they can look at their inner world, gain valuable insight, and then reclaim their personal authority and make conscious decisions that transform the way they experience their lives!"<br /><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH MEG:<br />FB: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/meg.heppner.5" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/meg.heppner.5</a><br />WEB: <a href="http://www.megheppner.com/" target="_blank">www.megheppner.com</a><br />MEETUP: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SoulSisterGroupCoaching" target="_blank">www.meetup.com/SoulSisterGroupCoaching</a><br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

      <title>Kirby Ingles: From fatherless to veteran fighting FOR the fatherless</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kirby is a leadership coach, and a combat veteran and hosts the TRUE Success podcast. His 26-year leadership and human capital experience have allowed him to provide results-driven, laser-focused, purpose-to-impact coaching to high-potential professionals since 2014.</p><p>Kirby’s family-oriented (father of 5 children), faith-based, and values-driven approach shows up in his life’s work and mission to root out fatherlessness in America.</p><p>He has a high sense of responsibility and ethics both in himself and others which have led him to advocate for the fatherless and raise awareness by running ultra-marathons (31-50 miles) in memory of those heroes who lost their lives due to PTSD.</p><p>Kirby volunteers his time to many other activities that he is called to and gives him purpose, such as mentoring transitioning veterans into the private sector.</p><p>In Kirby's Words: "I provide high-potential, busy corporate professionals with results-driven, laser-focused coaching. My big picture and creative problem-solving methodology, coupled with an open and enthusiastic style, will empower you to learn new skills, conquer goals, ignite passions, and become your best self.<br /><br />I have 26-years in leadership and human capital consulting, host the TRUE Success podcast, and am a U.S. Army combat veteran. I have coached professionally for eight years and facilitated a 6-week course at a national credentialing producing academy for the last two years.<br /><br />I have secure beliefs. I believe success is more than money and prestige. This means specific core values endure in my life, causing me to be family-oriented, kind, spiritual, and value responsibility and ethics - both in myself and others. This gives me meaning and satisfaction.<br /><br />I feel consistency is foundational to building strong relationships and networks where I can be considered dependable and called a friend. Values and beliefs provide direction and guide me through temptations and distractions.<br /><br />With strong beliefs, I become comfortable to trust. I love work that meshes with my values, gives me primary duties that matter and allows me to live out those values.<br /><br />I love to peer over the horizon; the future is fascinating and pulls me forward. I look to create better products, systems, teams, life, and the world. How I impact, the future is essential and inspirational to me and others. People look to me to raise insights and spirits with messages of hope and optimism. This gives me energy and allows me to visualize a better tomorrow. <br /><br />I find many things interesting. I like to collect information, words, facts, books, and quotations - I tend to be curious. I read a great deal, not to refine my theories but add information to the archives. It keeps my mind fresh.<br /><br />I have a strong desire for competence. Adult learning is vital and enables me to thrive in short-fuse projects and education in dynamic environments. I enjoy the process of getting there more than the result. <br /><br />I'm pulled towards people I already know. I gain strength from being around people close to me. Those relationships develop when there is a deliberate desire to deepen the connection. My close connections share feelings, goals, fears, and dreams. I want them to understand me as well. The fit must be genuine and not transactional for me to value a relationship to feel valued."<br /> </p><p>WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?</p><p>PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a></p><p>We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!</p><p><br /> </p><p>CONNECT WITH KIRBY:</p><p>Website: <a href="http://kirbyingles.com/" target="_blank">kirbyingles.com</a><br />LinkedIn: Kirby Ingles<br />Podcast: The True Success Podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcast</p><p>https://bit.ly/purpose2impact</p><p><br /> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:</p><p>NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tina McDermott spent most of her life struggling with digestive issues. She didn't understand that the embarrassing gas, bloating, constipation, and yo-yo weight gain/loss were all interconnected.

She now manages her wellness and weight naturally through food, fitness, and the right supplements. Her passion is to teach other women to do the same and how to live happier and healthier lives through natural means.<br /><br />Tina's story goes from one of hopelessness in her physical condition and believing she just had to "live with it" to one of personal power in her journey to overcoming the symptoms of Lyme disease through natural wellness.</p><p>TINA MCDERMOTT has been working in the health and wellness industry for almost 20 years. She was born to help people through health and wellness and exercise and there is nothing more than she would like to do with her life. </p><p>Tina's goal is to reach out to as many people as humanly possible through health, wellness and exercise to help make this world a better place. She also specializes in helping people with their emotional issues of eating and an expert at helping you lose weight and also teaches exercise and nutrition on a one on one basis, in small groups as well as in corporations.<br /><br /><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH TINA:<br /><br />YOUTUBE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGH0Y5KEI2eNvY9jyIlwHnw" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGH0Y5KEI2eNvY9jyIlwHnw</a><br /><br />FACEBOOK: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tina.mcdermott.520" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/tina.mcdermott.520</a><br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

      <title>Defy The Darkness with Dylan Sessler: How I survived child abuse, parental suicide, PTSD &amp; war trauma</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dylan Sessler is an empath, survivor, author, mental health advocate, speaker, and US Army Veteran. <br /><br />He is a survivor of parental suicide, PTSD, child abuse, bullying, war, life-changing injuries along with depression and anxiety.<br /><br />He has since overcome PTSD, depression, and anxiety through intense self-awareness, learning, and focused self-empathy.<br /><br />He has spent his life learning how to understand and overcome the hardest things humans have to face. This is quite literally his life's work.<br /><br />This is Dylan's story.</p><p> </p><p>In Dylan's words: </p><p>My name is Dylan Sessler. I am an empath, survivor, author, mental health advocate, speaker, and US Army Veteran.  I am a survivor of parental suicide, PTSD, child abuse, bullying, war, life-changing injuries along with depression and anxiety. In 2015, I became a suicide attempt survivor. I have since overcome my PTSD, depression, and anxiety through intense self-awareness, learning, and focused self-empathy. I have spent my life learning how to understand and overcome the hardest things humans have to face. This is quite literally, my life's work.</p><p> </p><p>Read the next sentence carefully: I fought my battles alone so you don't have to. You can continue fighting alone. I know you can do it but that doesn't mean you'll make it out alive. Some people can't win that fight alone. I'm here to show you the empathy and non-judgment that I refused to see myself. Let me help you take 10 years off the process of healing, maybe even 20. It took me 25 years to get to where I am now and I can assure you that it has not been easy.</p><p> </p><p>You can spend the next 10 years struggling with the hardships you've been through or you can talk to me. I had a client tell me that we had gone deeper in our consultation than she had ever gone in 26 years of therapy. Think about that. That's just one session. Your opportunity is here, it's now. If you want to change your life, all you have to do is book a session <a href="https://dylansessler.com/coaching">here</a>. It isn't the cheapest but that's because it's worth every penny.<br /> </p><p>Listen, if you're not ready, that's okay. Follow me on Tik Tok and my other social media. Read my <a href="https://dylansessler.com/mental-health-blog">Mental Health Blog</a>.

Follow me for a week, a month, or a year until you're finally ready. Take as much time as you need but I promise you, when I put myself out there to help you, it's because I know I can.</p><p> </p><p>My deepest passion is to help others overcome the adversity they have had to face, see their value, and thrive. I don't want you to struggle anymore. If other people taught you to hate yourself, I hope you take the words I'm about to say very seriously: You don't have to hate yourself just because they taught you to. Your body is screaming at you to stop hating yourself. You're just not listening. Let me teach you how to listen with more than just your ears. Your body has a lot to say.</p><p> </p><p>If you don't trust me, I'm not offended. In today's world of sales funnels and gimmicks, I wouldn't trust me either. Trust is earned. Watch my content. Watch my live sessions where I consistently talk people down from suicidal thoughts. Watch and let me earn your trust. At the end of the day, you know what is best for you. If I'm not it, I'll help you find someone that is better. As confident as I am, I am not perfect nor am I the perfect fit for everyone.

      <title>Kevin Kepple: From alcohol addiction and ego to (com)passionate professional Coach</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>For more than the first half of his life, Kevin Kepple did everything "his way". Kevin was great at his career, but internally he was struggling with low self esteem, comparison, and imposter syndrome.<br />
<br />
Kevin was addicted to alcohol and always felt the need to be right, but today he is 14 years sober and working with people who inspire him daily.<br />
<br />
Kevin's story goes from an over-inflated ego and alcohol addiction to a life of daily inspiration serving a generous purpose.<br />
<br />
Kevin spends his days helping successful business owners and executives align with their heart so that they can maximize their creativity and find more access to happiness and aliveness. When he's not working, Kevin is outside in nature, an ironman athlete, and loves to be in the mountains with his dog Frank.<br />
<br />
This is Kevin's story.</p>

      <title>From Tragedy to Triumph: Sheena&apos;s story of rebuilding after loss</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>To say Sheena is a remarkable woman feels like an understatement!<br /><br />After a tragic loss as a teenager and 10 years of struggling through depression and anxiety, she and her sister took a leap of faith and started their business with very few resources.<br /><br />As they now celebrate 15 years in business, she's here to share what went into the start of the business, how they grew it through starting their own families, and what the outlook for them looks like today.<br /><br />For Sheena, her business isn't just a business. It's a family, a community and a beacon of light bringing hope and compassion to many.<br /><br />This is Sheena's story.</p><p>15 years ago my sister Cortney and I embarked on an incredible journey together with the opening of our fine lingerie boutique, The Bra Lounge, in downtown Red Deer. We were inspired by the life, and death, of our Mom when we were young teens. We realized in the blink of an eye how important she had been to our family and to our community. We always wanted to own a retail business together, and when the opportunity came to get into the lingerie industry we knew that was where we needed to be - serving women just like our Mom who were the backbone to so many in their lives. </p><p>Helping women be their best everyday by supporting them with proper fitting, high quality undergarments, while providing an empowering, beautiful place to shop and exceptional customer service has been a truly rewarding. Shopping for intimates can be an intimidating and daunting task, but the result of finding a great fit can be life changing for women. We're proud to be an established, highly sought after boutique in Central Alberta.<br /><br />We have won numerous awards in quality and customer service, including being named Red Deer's Small Business of the Year in 2017. Both Cortney and I have also received leadership and entrepreneurship awards over the years.

      <title>Contagiously Positive: How Laurie-Ann Dug her way out of a dark depressing place to become a vibrant successful woman</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>To meet Laurie-Ann Sheldrick is to meet someone who is, in her words "contagiously positive".<br /><br />You might think it's natural for her, or that she was born this way.<br /><br />Not so. She hit rock bottom in her 20's and it took over 10 years to dig herself out.<br /><br />This is Laurie-Ann's story.<br /> </p><p>Running a life coaching practice over the past 10 years has taught me so much. Not just about my clients, but about myself. We are constantly learning, changing, growing and evolving and it’s easier to navigate life together.<br /><br />The questioned I asked all the time, even to this day, was, “who am I?” <br /><br />I have learnt that there is not one answer because our lives, you, us, me are always changing. Who are you? You are all of it! Everything that you’ve been, are, want to be is who you are.<br /><br />I spent most of my life trying to figure out who I was because I was focused on being who people were telling me I should be. But when I truly started to look within, shutting out the noise of who I should be, is when I began to ask, “who do you want to be?” And my authentic self was hidden behind all the should be masks. <br /><br />With support from amazing coaches, healers and therapists, I started to take off the masks and show up as just ME, the me in that moment. And in 2009, a man I worked with said, “you are so f$%king contagiously positive.” This was incredibly impactful on me as being or feeling anything positive had not been my default. It made me really understand the impact we can have on each others lives. <br /><br />One thing I knew very early on in my own healing process was that I never wanted anyone to ever feel alone in their experiences or feelings the way I had. So a couple years after being dubbed the contagiously positive girl, I left behind a 10 year career in project management to become a certified life coach.<br /><br />I started a coaching practice so that I could guide women (men are welcome too) into making they mental and emotional health a top level, code red priority. We cannot bypass the inner work. We cannot ignore our feelings. We are living, breathing, FEELING human beings. We are born with emotions and live in a contrasting world that gives us a lot to feel and respond to.<br /><br />That is why it is so important to have a toolkit full of practices, knowledge and support to help us strengthen our mental, emotional, spiritual, attitudinal wellbeing. <br /><br />We make decisions based on how we are feeling, how we want to feel, or how we think it will make us feel. Wherever we go, and whatever we do, our emotions come along with us. We have a vast, ever moving emotional scale and there is no shame in feeling what we have been conditioned to believe are “negative” emotions. So when it comes to working with organizations, or with individuals in one-on-one coaching, online courses, workshops or speaking engagements, emotional intelligence is built into everything.</p><p><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH LAURIE-ANN<br /><br />Website: <a href="http://www.contagiouslypositive.ca/" target="_blank">www.contagiouslypositive.ca</a><br /><br />Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/contagiously_positive" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/contagiously_positive</a><br /><br />Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/contagiouslypositive" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/contagiouslypositive</a><br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

      <title>From Losing Everything and (literally) Sleeping through life ... to powerful leader</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>James Heppner nearly gave up. He nearly lost his marriage, his family, his career and everything he had worked for.<br /><br />He tried to sleep the days away hoping it would get better. Until he realized it had to come from him.<br /><br />This is James' story.</p><p>My life worked, until it didn’t. Business was strong, capital was plentiful and life seemed all I had every dared wish it to be.  Performing life vs. Living life nearly near cost me my business, my investments, my children and my marriage.  The never ending hyper-vigilant striving to achieve the next level of success suddenly awakened me to the deep emptiness of my current lived experience.  Unable to truly celebrate and instead deeply anxious about the rawness of who I really was on the inside, I flip flopped between being restless & bored, and anxious & depressed.   <br />Thankfully peace didn’t come but instead, I feel into a million tiny pieces.  It forced me to build a new infrastructure grounded upon authenticity and gratitude.  I made critical decisions like “my joy is not for sale” and “losses are simply disguised gifts hidden in plain sight”.  <br /><br />I’ve spent the last decade designing my life of gratitude and can honestly say I have a unshakeable love with my life.  Not in-spite of the losses that I’ve had to endure however rather BECAUSE of the losses that I’ve utilized well.  <br />Fearing Fear itself has now left me.  <br /><br />Today I help people ignite their vibrant energy towards life by turning towards what they really want - to courageously step towards their comforts and discomforts with curiosity and an open embrace of the goodness that lies at the core of both the win and the loss.<br /><br />Truth is - Real life is made up of both wins and loses.  Both were designed for your good - thats basic reality.  Without facing and learning how to embrace your losses for greater gain, you miss out.  <br />Why choose to leave 50% of your life experience on the table when you can choose to do the work so that you can have it all?<br /><br />Life can be good news - if we let it.  <br />Life can shine In through the cracks - if we let it in. <br /><br /><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH JAMES:<br /><br />WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.jamesheppner.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jamesheppner.com/</a><br /><br />PODCAST: <a href="https://www.jamesheppner.com/podcast" target="_blank">https://www.jamesheppner.com/podcast</a><br /><br /> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

Business was strong, capital was plentiful and life seemed all I had every dared wish it to be.  Performing life vs. Living life nearly near cost me my business, my investments, my children and my marriage.  The never ending hyper-vigilant striving to achieve the next level of success suddenly awakened me to the deep emptiness of my current lived experience.  Unable to truly celebrate and instead deeply anxious about the rawness of who I really was on the inside, I flip flopped between being restless & bored, and anxious & depressed.   <br />Thankfully peace didn’t come but instead, I feel into a million tiny pieces.  It forced me to build a new infrastructure grounded upon authenticity and gratitude.  I made critical decisions like “my joy is not for sale” and “losses are simply disguised gifts hidden in plain sight”.  <br /><br />I’ve spent the last decade designing my life of gratitude and can honestly say I have a unshakeable love with my life.  Not in-spite of the losses that I’ve had to endure however rather BECAUSE of the losses that I’ve utilized well.  <br />Fearing Fear itself has now left me.  <br /><br />Today I help people ignite their vibrant energy towards life by turning towards what they really want - to courageously step towards their comforts and discomforts with curiosity and an open embrace of the goodness that lies at the core of both the win and the loss.<br /><br />Truth is - Real life is made up of both wins and loses.  Both were designed for your good - thats basic reality.  Without facing and learning how to embrace your losses for greater gain, you miss out.  <br />Why choose to leave 50% of your life experience on the table when you can choose to do the work so that you can have it all?<br /><br />Life can be good news - if we let it.  <br />Life can shine In through the cracks - if we let it in. <br /><br /><br />WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?<br /><br />PODMATCH: <a href="https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon" target="_blank">https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernon</a><br /><br />We've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!<br /><br /><br />CONNECT WITH JAMES:<br /><br />WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.jamesheppner.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jamesheppner.com/</a><br /><br />PODCAST: <a href="https://www.jamesheppner.com/podcast" target="_blank">https://www.jamesheppner.com/podcast</a><br /><br /> </p><p>CONNECT WITH COACH JON:<br />⁣<br />NUTRITION: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com</a>  ⁣</p><p>⁣YOUTUBE: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube">https://jonmclernon.link/YouTube</a></p><p>⁣CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book</a>  ⁣</p><p>FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: <a href="https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge">https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge</a></p><p>PODCAST: <a href="https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast">https://jonmclernon.link/btba-podcast</a>  </p><p>MENTORSHIP: <a href="https://www.jonmclernon.com">https://www.jonmclernon.com</a></p><p>⁣</p>

      <title>From weak and broken to empowering and changing lives with Lindsay Miller, aka The Stress Nanny</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week's episode was both heartbreaking and heartwarming with Lindsay Miller!<br /><br />Lindsay is incredibly open and vulnerable in sharing the story of her devastating struggles and how it led her to the amazing place she is in now.<br /><br />How did Lindsay dig her way out from rock bottom, when she literally didn't have the strength to pick up her 3-year-old daughter?<br /><br />We talk about that and more in this episode.<br /><br />I enjoy all of my interviews, but this one was particularly touching.</p><p>Lindsay Miller is known for her talent show suitcase tricks and infectious laugh. When she's not playing catch with her daughter or rollerblading on local trails with her husband, you can find her using her 20+ years of child development study and mindfulness certification to dream up new ways to get kids excited about mindfulness. </p><p><br />She hosts the Stress Nanny Podcast and is the enthusiastic founder of thestressnanny.com.  Her goal at The Stress Nanny is to give parents and kids simple ways to communicate their needs during everyday moments and in stressful situations like family conflict, divorce, illness, infertility and loss. Lindsay believes that mindful communication is an essential skill for modern families. </p><p>With families facing epic levels of stress and kids experiencing alarming levels of anxiety, we need more ways to help kids feel safe and happy. About 3 years ago I founded Kids Mindfulness Coaching and I would love to share the benefits of this simple and effective practice with you and your audience. <br /><br />Kids Mindfulness Coaching is all about building emotional intelligence skills like empathy, self-awareness, resilience and problem solving.<br /><br />Parents and caregivers can coach their kids in mindfulness using everyday stories and easy-to-understand analogies like the thought river and the empathy flashlight. When families practice mindfulness at home they deepen relationships and increase calm and confidence.<br /><br />The tools I share are easy to implement and help parents and kids practice the three keys of mindfulness:<br /><br />Figure out what's going on inside you (emotions, thoughts, beliefs)<br />Figure out what's going on outside you (relationships, context)<br />Make a choice on purpose<br /><br />Families will be able to implement these ideas immediately to help kids process anxiety, anger, fear, stress and grief.

      <title>Psychic lawyer overcomes life-threatening illness, has near-death experience and communicates with Spirit Guides</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I am an Attorney, an Intuitive Psychic Medium, and a Podcaster.  Since August 12, 2004, I have witnessed a world full of amazing spirituality!  When my grandfather passed away from a stroke it opened my intuitive abilities.  The night of my grandfather's death,  I first witnessed orbs of light in my hotel room in Wisconsin during a work trip right after learning about my grandfather’s stroke a few days earlier.  </p><p>My mom called at 8:07 p.m. to inform me of my grandfather’s passing.  As soon as we hung up the phone, I “felt” the orbs of light with all my senses as well as an amazing wave of unconditional love that washed over me.  I realized that this amazing feeling was my grandfather's spirit visiting me.  He communicated to me with his energy and told me to get something to eat, not to worry about him at all, to never cry or mourn for him, and that he will always be with me.  </p><p>And that was the first time I realized that I was on a special journey of self-discovery as a psychic medium and that I would have to view through my lens as a legal practitioner.   <br /> </p><p>For over a decade, I kept this information private and only read for close friends or family.  I would consult psychics every now and then.  In 2007, I consulted a psychic who predicted that I’d have my own radio show and I laughed at him at the time since I had no formal training to be on the radio.  </p><p>He responded,  “You will be on the radio, mark my words, and you will do it for something that isn’t about being a lawyer.”  At a wedding in northern Georgia, I met someone who set me on my current path.  My best friend Megan persuaded me to open my own psychic business and with her amazing support and guidance I started offering readings for the first time in January 2017 during evenings and weekends around my law practice.  <br /><br />In March 2018, I started my own podcast and have enjoyed that platform very much as a means of self-expression and creativity which I never imagined existed within me.  I initially promoted spiritual concepts and enjoyed the scope of my show as it related to spirituality, mind body spirit topics, life after death, UFOs, and the unexplained.  </p><p>When George Floyd was murdered last year, I was horrified like most of the world, and was guided by my spirit guides to march peacefully for social justice.  I participated in five local peaceful marches in Tampa, FL and from this experience I asked myself “What more can I do beyond protest and marching?”  </p><p>And when I realized at that moment that I had my own platform I decided to dedicate the show to increasing awareness of issues including social justice reform, BLM, environmental justice, spirituality, and enabling paradigm shifts.  <br /><br />As a guest, I’d be happy to discuss the fact that I predicted that I had cancer in my body six months before my actual medical diagnosis of Stage One Kidney Cancer in August 2018.  I’d also be happy to discuss a variety of other topics like synchronicity, life after death, meditation, the power of forgiving others, losing 50 pounds following my surgery and maintaining this weight loss after lifestyle changes,  a near death experience that I had in November 2018 while under anesthesia for a colonoscopy procedure, as well as sharing details of many other spiritual experiences over the years.  </p><p> We are all capable of major change and paradigm shifts in our lives…but we must be open and possess the courage and fortitude to leave our comfort zones to experience them.  <br /><br />In May 2022, our show, The Social Psychic Radio Show was selected by The Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts as a 2022 Communicator Award Winner in the following two categories : (1) Winner for "Individual Episodes: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" and (2) Winner for "Individual Episodes: Religion & Spirituality."  </p><p>CONNECT WITH JASON:</p><p>Jason's website:

Now, admittedly, when I first heard Jason was a psychic, I was a tad skeptical, but I&apos;m also open-minded and curious and love finding out what makes people tick.

So, we&apos;re definitely going to talk about overcoming a life-threatening illness ... but, inevitably, I&apos;m going to be asking questions about this psychic ability that he possesses.

This will be a conversation you don&apos;t want to miss :)</itunes:summary>

      <title>&quot;You&apos;re fat no matter what you do&quot; - Kris Wilkins and Liz Mosher</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>KRIS: I was overweight by the time I was 8, despite playing outside all day and playing soccer several times a week. I steadily gained weight throughout my teens and when I got to freshman year I was 50 lbs </strong>overweight<strong>. I was so active, it just didn't make any sense to me why I was overweight.</strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>What was really going on? How could I be overweight and so active?? Well, half the time I ate great-lots of veggies and homemade food when I was at home with my mom.  But the other half of the time when I was with my dad it was highly processed or fast food at all meals. See, half of my family was morbidly obese and the other half was not. I was living in 2 different worlds, with different sets of rules. </strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>My love of exercise and sports began here in this place of trying to control my body, and with it my disordered eating and frustration at what I saw as my body betraying me.  Why didn't it look and work the way I thought it should??!!?  I worked so hard! </strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>Once I had my daughter I developed chronic hip pain and thought my fitness journey was over. Having finally achieved stability in my weight, eating habits and exercise routine, only to be faced with something else I felt I couldn't control, all while trying to learn to be a mom, felt like a tremendous set back.</strong></p><p><strong> I tried many physical therapists and specialists and they had nothing to offer but drugs. I was unwilling to accept that at 30 I was never going to run again or play with my daughter. So I sought out as much education as I could find on chronic pain, Self-Myofascial Release and healthy movement and worked </strong>myself<strong> back to health.</strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>I gained and lost that 50 lbs 2 times, not including pregnancy. I broke multiple bones (including my back) trying to outrun and </strong>outperform<strong> what I was eating. I tried every diet in the book, every sport and activity, desperately hoping that one of them would be the magic secret to achieving the body I had always wanted. I got close a couple of times, real close.....but it never worked for long. I broke myself over and over. All in the effort to be healthy and fit.</strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>But this amazing thing happened on this journey - I learned all about what doesn't work. When I finally started to fix my relationship with food, my weight stabilized and stayed put for 10 years. I learned how to lift weights 100 different ways from </strong>bodybuilding<strong>, group exercise classes, Martial Arts, Olympic lifting and functional fitness and tried every type of cardio I could find. I trained for triathlons, long distance hikes, mountain bike races, TKD demonstrations and tournaments, </strong>Crossfit<strong> competitions, Spartan races as my body started to reflect the work I was putting in.</strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>I learned everything I could about anatomy and physiology because with all this hard work my body was letting me know when I was pushing too hard, so I learned how to fix myself and then how to keep from injuring myself again.  I also learned how to slow down and recover when my body said it needed it.</strong></p><p><strong>​</strong></p><p><strong>Overcoming my own struggles has developed into a full time passion for helping people unravel the complex, unique puzzle that we all are.
