Show notes

In todays episode Leah and Paul talk with Tim Perreira, the founder of Per Wellness. A company that helps unfulfilled men build healthy life habits to regain self confidence and become more happy. Today Tim talks us through 3 steps to go from stuck to unstuck in life.
Perreira talks us through some of the struggles he dealt with in his past when he was feeling unfulfilled and was on a journey to live a happier healthier life. We discuss the importance of listening to our gut and silencing our mind to find what really drives us. And in doing that, the importance of stepping away from some of the self medicated devices we use to quiet the nagging feelings within, such as alcohol.
Tim touches on a broad array of topics that we here at The Life Work Balance Nation believe in such as getting a good nights sleep, moving your body with some kind of exercise, and fueling your body and mind with a healthy diet. This episode is full of little nuggets to help anyone live more fulfilled. It is a motivating conversation that reminds us to go back to the basics and practice self care to produce self love.

Uncage Yourself From The Corporate Cage With Matt Doan Apr 22, 2022

Show notes

In today's conversation Leah and Paul talk with Transformation Coach and Podcaster Matt Doan. Matt shares with us his story of how he left his tech consulting job of long hours to how he became a full time coach.
Matt lived his life the way many of us have been conditioned to believe we should be living our lives. Following the societal structure we've been told to follow. Go to school, work hard, find the right job, and pour our heart and soul into that job. And in the process he lost some of his most treasured items, his relationship with his wife and kids. After the experience he was able to do some inner reflecting and get to the root of the problem. And now Matt is coaching others to not live in the cage of the corporate world. Matt teaches others how they can find themselves where they are and regain control of their life.
As Matt transitioned out of the corporate world and into entrepreneurship, he documented his emotional rollercoaster in the form of a podcast. That podcast is called Uncage Yourself. And it can be found on Uncageyourself.fm

Show notes

In today's episode Leah and Paul talk with Lauren Lefkowitz, Executive Leadership Coach and CEO of Lauren Lefkowitz Coaching about how to break the "Work, Sleep, and Repeat" schedule. She explains to them how saying you're "fine" is actually a trap. That just being "fine" is not good enough, and we all deserve to be "great", and truly happy and fulfilled.
She shares with us her life experience that brought her to become a leadership coach and how she realized she thought she was happy because she was "fine" but not truly happy. She talks about how being busy and good at your job can trick our minds into thinking we enjoy our jobs because of the affirmations received and the feeing of accomplishment. She is striving to help people see that "fine is a trap" and that everyone deserves true happiness. She has a survey to find out if you are living life just "fine" or are you living truly happily. You can find it on her website www.laurenlefkowitzcoach.com

How To Overcome Losing It All, with Zac McCarthy Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

In this episode Paul and Leah talk with Zac McCarthy, a guy who "had it all" the multi million dollar businesses, the wife, the kids, the house, and then lost it all by over working and not being present. Zac shares with us his story of how working so hard "to support his family" caused him to lose everything. He was working so much with his long hours and work trips to bring home the money, that he lost sight of why he was bringing home the money in the first place. He was at work most of the time, and when he was home he wasn't present causing him not to see the crumble of his everything happening around him, until it was too late.
He shares with us the steps he took in the aftermath to find out who he truly is from the inside out and what is really important to him. He is now happily remarried and spends present time with his kids, and is working for a company Gravy who takes pride in their company culture and their employees' emotional well-being. Zac's story is tragic but his ability to overcome it and become a better version of himself is inspiring, we hope you enjoy it!

PTSD, Deployments, Grief and Loss Management...The Story of Former Marine, Brian Bonfiglio Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode Leah and Paul talk with Brian Bonfiglio, a former Marine. Bonfiglio has been working as contracted private security to support the Dept of State and Dept of Defense for the past 20 years. In this time he has been involved in numerous attacks and shootings, and loss of friends due to battle.
In this episode Brian shares with us his stories of being shot at and bombed while protecting our country, as well as how he has tried to manage it on a mental health stand point. Brian is very open and honest with us in this episode and discusses the struggle of dealing with PTSD and re-adjusting to "normal life" while back at home with his family. He shares with us his attempts to cope with the the trauma through alcohol.
We discuss with him the management of Life Work Balance and how his passion for his work has caused a sacrifice in his family. His story is far too common amongst many Military families, and we feel that his story may help others in similar situations.
We hold our military at the highest regards and our hope is that through this story and others like it that there may be a way for our men and women of the military and their families to be able to find some balance of Life and Work.
