Parents Watch for These Warning Signs | Children with Mental Illness, Neurodiversity, Lyme Disease, and PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) | Heal with Liza Blas Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

This episode is a topic I have never discussed on the show, so when I bumped into Liza Blas on Instagram, I knew I had to bring her on the show. Liza is an Empowerment Coach extraordinaire, mentor, and I quickly realized we have a lot of things in common.

Not only is Liza a fellow podcaster – her podcast Very Happy Stories, Heal with Liza Blas invites inspiring guests to share stories of healing and to help listeners become the most empowered versions of themselves – but Liza is also a fellow mother.

Her life and her family have been impacted by mental illness, neurodiversity, Lyme disease, and even PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome). Through navigating the challenges of raising two very unique kids and dealing with her own severe depression, Liza provides empathy, validation, and hope to parents with similar struggles.

The Dangers of gateway drugs - Protect Your kids from the Fentanyl Epidemic | Learn From a Mother’s Tragedy with Michelle Leopold (Revisited) Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

Today is probably the most important episode I have ever recorded. Michelle Leopold was a mom living her normal life until the most horrifying thing happened to her family - the death of her son, Trevor.

She tells the story of this handsome, outgoing, loved teenager who started out by smoking pot. This didn't alarm her until she realized that the pot we smoked when we were younger is much different than what is sold today. This was his gateway drug to what ultimately killed him.

We learn about how fentanyl is added to street pills to get a bigger high. The CDC estimates that 2 out of 5 street pills include fentanyl that the user doesn't even realize is there.

Michelle shares the story of Trevor’s passing at just 19. She is determined to educate every parent of the dangers of how easily these pills can be accessed. One pill taken and his life was over. Michelle says that she keeps going determined to live in Trevor’s memory and help others.

Exploring Complete Self-Care and Spirituality as a Way to Recover from Codependency, Narcissistic Abuse and Low Self-Esteem with Author and Coach Del Adey-Jones Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Del Adey-Jones is a co-dependency and narcissistic abuse recovery coach and best-selling author with a foundation as a 3 Principles Practitioner. Shunned by her father and raised in an environment surrounded by mentally tormented individuals that fostered feelings of orphancy, illegitimacy, shame and low self-esteem.

People that suffer from codependency tend to end up in traumatic and dangerous narcissistic relationships. Many are unaware of their codependent tendencies they have that are attracting narcissists.

This week, Del talks to us about what she has learned throughout her own traumas that have helped her help others recover from their own self-sabotaging behavior patterns. Instead of trying to change our partners, we can change the way we show up and present ourselves to the world that actually repels those narcissists away from you once and for all.

Finding Your Future by Letting Go of the Past when Forgiveness Seems Impossible with Meagan O'Nan Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever spent so much time on self-work and are almost to a point of “feeling healed” when a certain person or situation triggers you so dramatically that you feel like you have to practically start over? Are you struggling with forgiving the past, others, or yourself? Is the difficult process of finding forgiveness holding you back from true freedom and a future?

This week I dive into the murky waters of forgiveness with award-winning author, keynote speaker, and vulnerable storytelling expert, Meagan O’Nan.

Meagan is the author of the award-winning book, “Creating Your Heaven on Earth,” and “Courage: Agreeing to Disagree Is Not Enough.” Her third book is on it's way and will be published in January 2023. Meagan is also a member of the Forbes Coaches Council where she produces regular content for Forbes.com.

Forgiveness is not a simple topic and certainly not something that can be “all figured out” in a one hour podcast. But, much like Meagan’s story shows us, even cracking the window open a little bit on this conversation and letting that part of you – the part that you thought was completely past all hope of moving forward in a situation – see that full-circle healing might actually be possible, could be that first baby step into your unburdened future. I know it has been one for me.

I hope you come out of this week’s conversation much like I have, with a lot more clarity about what forgiveness truly means and looks like for you.

How a Food Freedom Architect can Change the Way you Diet Forever with Niki Sibera Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

This week’s guest has revolutionized the way I think about my relationship with food. Her name is Niki Sibera, and she is the founder of Happy Hearted Eating and is known lovingly as a “Food Freedom Architect”.
Niki joins me on the show this week to share what she has learned in her heart-healing work over the last 30 years. Niki opens up about her traumatic childhood experiences, which include her dad’s domestic violence and alcoholism, her mother’s two cancer diagnoses and subsequent death, her step-father’s sexual abuse, and her lack of stability growing up - moving 10 different times and going to 9 different schools all by the age of 15.
Through her journey, Niki shows us how she has been able to transform into being a fierce guide and mentor for women, specializing in helping women feel free “to learn how to tame the whispers from the fridge.” She’s opened my eyes to exploring what’s behind the eating, to see how my own “trauma monster” has taken over my heart and how I cope.
Let's get out of the bondage of shame and come into the light together. You are loved! This week's conversation has enlightened me to a new way of thinking about how I relate to food and to myself, because I have struggled myself with my relationship with food, yo yo dieting etc….. Niki is a refreshing light!

Why is Bullying So Prevalent and How Can We Protect Our Kids? with Joe Constantine Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

I wanted to get to the root of why kids become bullies. Since it is the start of a new school year, I thought it was the perfect subject. Today's guest, Joe Constantine, is a life coach from Colorado who specializes in Anti-Bullying. His company, Breakaway Scores works with kids that suffer with bullying and mental health issues. He is also a survivor of bullying himself, when I saw his bio I had to reach out.
Joe shared a bit of his own story being bullied so bad as a kid that he turned to Suicide as a way out. He also was being beaten up at home by an older brother. He decided he wanted to live his life trying to help kids that met the same fate and try to make a difference.
I wanted to have a real conversation about why this is happening so often with kids. Listen as we talk about why kids bully and how we can protect our kids and teach them to deal with it and speak up.

Betrayed by Her Murdered Husband but Never Broken: with Author Jan Canty Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

Jan Canty's world was upended when her husband didn't come home one night. She later learned he had been connected with a pimp and a prostitute - giving them money hand over fist - leaving her massively in debt.
After having to identify his body and being hounded by the media during his salacious trial, she needed to discover her why. The journey was one of trauma and betrayal, but she was unable to grieve for years.
Still unable to share where she lives, due to threats. Jan has found freedom in sharing the truth. Jan has traveled the world volunteering to help others to help heal
her own pain. After 30 years she was ready to tell people what really happened and finally be free of the pain she was carrying.
I was honored to meet Jan. I am sure my listeners will be inspired by her tenacity and courage to never give up.
