Discovering your inner strength: Lessons from American Hero J.R. Martinez Aug 25, 2020

“Dancing with the Stars” winner and America hero, J.R. Martinez’ powerful story is anything but ordinary. Growing up without a positive father figure and amidst chaos, neglect, abuse, and bullying; J.R. had never experienced a secure base or unconditional love. Wanting to belong to something bigger and serve a purpose, J.R. joined the army at the age of 19, only to suffer life altering burns on the job three weeks into his first tour. After 33 plastic surgeries over four years, J.R. finally realized his ultimate healing would come from within rather than his outward appearance.

Sparked by a series of events with his best friend, J.R. realized true strength comes from vulnerability and learned how to talk about the feelings that were bottled up for decades, process his trauma, and receive (and give) unconditional love. Today, J.R. is a successful actor, motivational speaker, podcast host, and devoted father and husband; and he inspires people around the globe with his story of transformation and healing. This episode imparts valuable lessons about self-development and how to come into your own even in the most difficult of times. If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, questioned whether people in your life truly love you, or feel at a loss for what direction to take your direction next; J.R. will teach you how to move forward in a positive way and “show up” for life no matter what’s happening. J.R. and Dr. Judy give you surprisingly easy tools to get started towards reinvention and rebirth today.

If you can’t get enough of J.R., make sure to check out his new podcast “Rebirth!” available on all podcast platforms now.

Problem solving with unlikely partners: Lora King’s incredible empowerment journey and how you can harness these secrets for your life goals Aug 11, 2020

Activist, philanthropist, and community leader Lora King shares her best tips for how to take initiative, roll up your sleeves, and proactively solve problems by bringing people together instead of sowing division. In this time full of conflict and stress, Lora is a bright light, full of positivity and encouragement, even as she recounts some of the traumatic experiences she went through growing up in the public eye as the daughter of Rodney King. King’s name reverberated throughout the country after he was beaten by four white officers in 1991. A bystander captured the event, and the eventual acquittal of the officers in 1992 led to six days of rioting across Los Angeles.

In this enlightening interview, Lora shares the unknown side of Rodney King and honors her father’s legacy with the Rodney King Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting peace, getting along, and working in the community to promote positive race relations and achieve social justice. Her hopeful message will touch your heart and teach you how to build bridges between unlikely collaborators and enhance individual and community self-esteem. Her amazing work has had a domino effect on the lives she has touched, and her recent roll-out of the “I am King” program helps black fathers spend more time with their families, fighting negative stereotypes about the black community, and giving black families the resources needed for a positive environment where kids can thrive and be their best.

Lora and Dr. Judy discuss the supercharged secret of Empowerment and how to create meaningful change with grace and strength. If you use the practical and effective strategies discussed in this episode, you will experience joy, peace, and purpose in your life and help others to do the same. Lora is truly inspirational and her impactful work is leading the way for social justice and setting a great example for how to create change in an inclusive way. Her powerful message will resonate with you, no matter your background, and you will be moved by her maturity and grace in dealing with complex and difficult discussions and take these lessons into your life.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Lora’s thoughts on George Floyd and BLM movement (2:53)

2. Operating from our hearts (8:52)

3. One way to heal racism (11:19)

4. Growing up in the public eye and little known facts about Rodney King (13:01)

Facts and myths of transgender identity: Actress Nicole Maines on how to be authentic and purposeful every day Aug 04, 2020

Transgender actress Nicole Maines plays a superhero on her hit TV show “Supergirl,” but she’s also a superhero in her everyday life. As young as 3 years of age, Nicole knew that the biological sex she was assigned at birth was not right, and struggled with anger, anxiety, and sadness. With the support of her parents, Nicole started transitioning genders in the 1st grade, and the thoughtful and gradual changes were generally accepted by her peers. However, in middle school, after a run-in with a boy who took issue with her use of the female bathroom, the school staff barred her from using the female bathroom, and increasingly isolated her from normal experiences on- and off-campus.

Nicole and her family sued the school district for discrimination and after a five-year court battle she was victorious when the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the school violated the Human Rights Act. Her landmark win prohibited barring transgender students access to bathrooms, paving the way for transgender justice and inclusivity. Her activism continues to this day and people regularly call on Nicole to guide them on how they can promote equality and inclusivity in their own communities.

Nicole’s stories are so incredible relatable, no matter how you identify yourself on the gender and sexual preferences spectrums. As a young woman, Nicole is wise beyond her years and the lessons she has learned are ones all human beings can benefit from, as we ponder what it truly means to be authentic, joyful, and purposeful in our lives. Nicole reminds us to self-reflect in a way that is constructive rather than destructive and how to embrace each other’s differences. She calls on each person to dig deeply and determine what fears are holding us back, and why gossip holds such allure and offers temporary satisfaction, but ultimately steals a piece of our individual integrity. Dr. Judy reveals five actionable tips to be your own superhero which include letting moments of adversity be catalysts for personal growth, stopping blame, and gaining strength by avoiding your personal kryptonite. This lit conversation is going to help you to accomplish the extraordinary every day and to uncover incredible moments in the ordinary.

1. Setting the bar at superhero level (2:05)

2. Being the first transgender superhero on TV (2:50)

3. Exploring power and control in Nicole’s film bit (5:30)

Do juvenile delinquents deserve a second chance at life? How producer Scott Budnick is reducing recidivism and offering hope to the disenfranchised Jun 16, 2020

Dr. Judy and Scott Budnick get together to talk about why he left a red-hot career in Hollywood behind to start the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, a non-profit organization with the mission of ending mass incarceration, improving the community, and promoting impactful policy change. Scott is well-known for being one of the executive producers of The Hangover but after a fateful visit to Sylmar Juvenile Hall, he began to follow a different dream: to work in criminal justice reform and to provide mentorship and employment opportunities for incarcerated youth. Scott describes how he was able to have empathy and take compassionate action with a population that is largely forgotten by society, many of whom were victims of neglect, trauma, and physical or sexual abuse without positive role models to show them the way to living a responsible and meaningful life. Scott tells incredible stories of how he helped disenfranchised youth turn their life around and become productive and helpful citizens upon release, drastically reducing the stark recidivism rates that plague our country.

Scott’s heartfelt commitment and his passionate voice to this cause has attracted meaningful partnerships with legislators, politicians, movie studios, employers, and celebrities, including Emmy, Grammy, and Academy Award Winning musician Common. His phenomenal activism includes continuing to provide creative resources for education and healing to inmates during the pandemic, and his triumphant return to filmmaking by partnering with Warner Bros. to create Just Mercy. This award-winning film was paired with the largest social impact initiative ever tied to a film, between a Common concert at California Rehabilitation Center to movie screenings for policy makers. Scott’s energy and enthusiasm is truly contagious, and his message of hope and positivity, especially during this challenging time amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the George Floyd protests for racial equality, is so refreshing, incredibly timing, and sorely needed.

If you have a passion to start an initiative or want to offer help to people who are suffering, this episode will provide you with the tools you need to roll up your sleeves today and do something impactful. By learning the skills of empathy and compassionate action, you will become an expert at communication, persuade and motivate those around you, and solve problems and handle conflicts with greater ease. These skills will supercharge your own success and relationships and help you to live a purposeful, joyful life. Come along and listen in as Scott teaches all of us how we can spread our own positive messages to the world like wildfire, and how each of us can make a difference in the lives of our loved ones and our community at large.

In this episode, we discuss:

Startling statistics regarding the prison system, budget, and recidivism (2:20)

How to have difficult conversations to heal the racial divide: An enlightening conversation with father Tom Gibbons and filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green Jun 09, 2020

On the heels of the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Abery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Dr. Judy sits down with two accomplished guests, award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director Reinaldo Marcus Green and Catholic priest Fr. Tom Gibbons and Vice President of Paulist Productions, to inspire meaningful, insightful, and non-defensive dialogue about systemic racism, social injustice and the inequities in American culture today. As the news cycle abruptly shifted from the COVID-19 crisis to a decades old-pandemic, racism; America watched as the empty streets of national stay-at-home orders turned into flooded boulevards filled with protestors united in their fight against injustice. In this challenging time, how do we resist the urge to look the other way, come to grips with our own ethical and moral responsibility and failures, and strengthen hope for change?

If you question your individual role in this critical “woke” moment or are looking for answers to tough questions you don’t dare ask, this episode offers the opportunity to hear from two thought leaders, one African American and Puerto Rican, the other self-described “100% Irish,” with vastly distinct and influential public platforms, who, like Dr. Judy, feel passionately about educating and healing a devastated nation. All three of them come to the table with honest, unfiltered admissions of their own triumphs and even potential missteps – and discuss why recognizing each of our imperfections and connecting with a source bigger than ourselves can help us to move forward to enact reform to a broken system. This episode will empower you to recognize and hone your ability to initiate radical transformation and fight injustice. Each person can make a powerful difference, and it starts one step at a time, with one conversation or one simple act.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why George Floyd became the tipping point (3:30)

Overcoming perfectionism and how to find yourself with prima ballerina Tiler Peck May 26, 2020

Dr. Judy gets together with ultra-determined professional dancer Tiler Peck. Tiler is a principal dancer in the New York City Ballet, an actress; a fashion designer (Tiler Peck Designs), and author, recently penning her first children’s book, “Katarina Ballerina” which explores self-acceptance and embracing our own uniqueness at any age. Tiler reveals her childhood roots, growing up among accomplished dancers and athletes, and her journey from jazz and hip-hop to the competitive world of ballet. Tiler is a recovering perfectionist and she describes how she learned to embrace her imperfections, turning them into unique strengths. Her world crumbled when she suffered a devastating neck injury that took her away from dance, and the painstaking process of finding a doctor who understood exactly what was at stake. Her difficult road back to dance involved venturing down roads she never thought she would, and a rediscovery of who Tiler really is without dance in her life.

As the COVID-19 pandemic sidelined her professional dance career once again, Tiler shows us how she turns adversity into opportunity. Her love of dance and teaching inspired her to create a free daily online ballet class that anyone at any level can attend and learn from and enjoy, and she has given her time and talents to fundraising for other performers whose careers have been put on pause. This episode delves deeply into the life of a true artist and a consummate professional who shows us all how determination leads her to live a successful, passionate, thriving life every single day.

Curing Burnout, Hustle Culture, and Toxic Productivity: Deep dive with lead prosecutor from Gabriel Hernandez case Jonathan Hatami Apr 28, 2020

In this episode, Dr. Judy sat down with Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami, a remarkable man who inarguably has one of the most stressful and impactful jobs as prosecutor in child murder cases. Together they discuss how to combat burnout, a phenomenon reaching epic proportions in many industrialized countries. Burnout is characterized by emotional, mental and often physical exhaustion brought on by prolonged and repeated work stress that leads people to feel depressed, detached, cynical, and ineffective in their work and daily life.

Jon was the lead prosecutor in the child murder/torture case featured in the Netflix documentary “The Trials Of Gabriel Fernandez.” This case shocked the nation as court documents, testimony and graphic images revealed the systematic, brutal torture and murder of 8-year-old Gabriel by his mother and her companion. After the trial, Jon revealed to the press and public that he too suffered from child abuse. Jon’s own traumatic experiences helped him to speak for Gabriel in the courtroom and galvanized his determination to get justice for Gabriel. As a child abuse survivor, Jon intimately understands the feelings of powerlessness and the everlasting desire for love and approval from parents who abuse. His personal identification and close emotional tie to his work as a prosecutor of child murderers has the power to pack repeated, devastating blows to Jon and his emotional and mental wellness.

So how does Jon work in a field that reminds him of his own painful past on a daily basis, find healthy ways to process his emotions? How did a boy raised in a family shattered by abuse and conflict heal from trauma, strengthen his self-esteem, and become a man who is now living his dreams of being a husband and father of two? How did he learn to parent in a healthy, loving way when he didn't have the proper role models? How does he process his daily work stress and not let it affect his well-being and relationships with loved ones? In Dr. Judy’s SuperCharged tip, Jon reveals his comprehensive coping program and his best tools for fighting burnout to create total wellness.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Overview of the Gabriel Fernandez case 3:06

2. Jon’s impromptu confession about his past abuse 6:15

3. Jon’s own brush with court testimony as a child 13:30

5. Jon recalls the most difficult moment during trial 20:00

6. The lasting mind-body-soul impact of child abuse 23:15

7. How Jon finds inspiration for being a good parent 28:35

9. What Jon, Gabriel, and all sufferers of child abuse want most 36:05

10. True Crime obsession and motives for torture and murder 37:55

11. Are people truly born evil? 43:08

12. How Jon thinks the child welfare system is doing and how we can improve 46:30

What will the NBA look like once we emerge from isolation and how should we revamp the NBA draft process to give young athletes the opportunity to receive a good education? What important takeaways has Shark Tank (where Mark has been a resident Shark investor from its inception) given Mark and all of us? Where will the next big ideas come from (hint: Alexa scripting will be key) and what should we be teaching our children? What have we learned from this pandemic and what changes need to be made to our corporate business model and the way we manage and value employees? Mark reveals his optimism for change, the induction of “compassionate capitalism,” and the vision he has for what he calls America 2.0 as well as his top initiatives if he were to become President (and yes, he hasn’t closed the door to a presidential bid).

Scapegoating, gaslighting, and breakthrough resilience with author Virginia Buckingham Apr 14, 2020

In this episode, Dr. Judy sits down with Virginia Buckingham, the first female CEO of Massachusetts Transportation Authority (Massport) and the person in charge on September 11th, 2001. On that fateful day, two of the four planes that were hijacked then used as missiles to bring down the twin towers of the World Trade Center originated from Boston’s Logan International Airport, operated by Massport. What transpired that day was punctuated by horror, unbelievable images of destruction, and loss of life - forever etched into the American psyche.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, when the country came together to mourn our losses and begin to rebuild, Ginny shares how she became the scapegoat of the media because of perceived lapses in the security protocol at Logan, which were ultimately unfounded. She reveals how her career was destroyed and how every day became excruciatingly painful to live through. Traumatized by the events of 9/11 and compounded by the blame and media scrutiny, Ginny suffered unbearable Posttraumatic Stress Disorder to the point of wanting to take her own life.

In her riveting book, “On My Call: A Memoir” Ginny reveals her untold story of 9/11, her continued journey to recovery from PTSD nineteen years later, and how she finally found her voice and sense of self through meaning making. In this deep and intimate conversation, Dr. Judy and Ginny discuss her rise to leadership at an early age, how she became the scapegoat for the terrorist attacks, and her journey to finding herself again despite the immeasurable pain she suffered. She dispels myths about what a sufferer of PTSD looks like and talks about her remarkable journey to become her own hero and develop resilience. Ginny’s powerful story is filled with hope - it teaches people about courage and finding inner peace and profound purpose in the wake of seeming annihilation.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Our memories about 9/11 (8:00)
