Freddy Negrete is a legendary tattoo artist based in Hollywood, CA. He's been profiled on numerous media and has tattooed numerous celebrities, musicians and sport personalities.

Freddy honed his skills as a tattooist in prison and is now a world-renowned pioneer of black and grey realism. Freddy endured countless ups and downs with addiction and suffered deadly health issues, but he asked for healing and, after a pivotal moment, he received it.

SHAIR 147: Fear Less Live More with Sue Curr Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

Sue Curr is a motivational speaker, life coach, and author. She helps people achieve their full potential and instill in them the confidence to live life the way they want.

It's hard to believe that 5 years ago, Sue was at death's door. Her organs were failing from a 5-bottle-of-Chardonnay-a-day drinking habit. By shear strength and resolve, she made it out alive. Now Sue doesn't waste a minute of her life.

Fear less live more is her motto. At the age of 57, Sue eliminated her remaining fear of heights by skydiving. She now knows there is no limit to what she can do.

Sue's story is dark and laced with humor as she tells us how she went from lying in a hospital bed to flying high on life!

Show notes

Sean Croxton joins us today on The SHAIR Podcast.

How can you identify and remove self-limiting beliefs?

How are your feelings of unworthiness affecting your ability to achieve your dreams?

How can you move on from the past to become your greatest self?

Many of us were raised to have negative thoughts about wealth or that we are not deserving prosperity. Addicts and alcoholics especially suffer at the hands of self-limiting beliefs and feelings of unworthiness.

Today we have Sean Croxton on the show. Sean is the creator of one of the first health-based video channels on the internet. His first podcast, Underground Wellness Radio, ran for seven years and got millions of downloads.

Now Sean hosts the Quote of the Day podcast, a short show that features quotes from motivational talks, and he is getting ready to launch the Money Mind Academy to help people break free from old thought patterns to achieve financial success.

Sean is not a recovering addict or alcoholic, but because of his troubled childhood, he experienced the same feelings self-doubt and guilt that kept him from accomplishing his goals. He shares how he identified and overcame his self-limiting beliefs to achieve things he never thought possible.

This episode will revolutionize the way you see your health, wealth, and future. Don't miss it!

Show notes

Andy Ramage is the cofounder of the One Year No Beer alcohol-free lifestyle revolution. He is a master practitioner of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), a mindful-based awareness coach, and is currently studying masters in positive psychology and coaching psychology.

How can you quit alcohol in today's drinking culture?

He decided to take a break from alcohol, and to his surprise, discovered that it was the most incredible thing he had ever done in his life.

Now Andy wants to counteract our alcohol-drenched culture by promoting an alcohol-free lifestyle and giving people the tools they need to combat the enormous social pressure to drink.

SHAIR 139: Social Anxiety, Self-Image, and Addiction with Sasha Tozzi Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

Sasha Tozzi is a recovery lifestyle coach, a Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery) instructor, a Reiki practitioner, and a writer. She helps individuals with physical and emotional sobriety, self-sabotage, and codependent relationships.

As a teenager, Sasha suffered from clinical depression and social anxiety. When she found alcohol, she thought it was the answer to all her problems. Later, she coupled her binge drinking with an addiction to cocaine, which led her to nights of blacking out, reckless behavior, and a shame cycle she could not escape.

Sasha eventually accepted the fact that she had a problem, and got help, but that wasn't the end of her journey. After she got sober, she discovered she had deeper problems with food and codependency underneath it all.

Listen to Sasha's empowering story of how she took ownership of her recovery and how she now helps other people to do the same.
