Jennifer Melyan came of age as a chubby brown child in the 90’s in Taiwan, where heroin-chic models were the norm and light skin preferred. Bombarded with nonstop messages about why her body wasn’t right, she developed a severe eating disorder to compensate. It took years of learning how to love herself bit by bit, body part by body part, in order to stand confidently in her current form and encourage others to do so as well.

By addressing issues such as puberty, sexuality, assault, eating disorder, and body dysmorphia in her upcoming book My Body Of Work, Jennifer aims to inspire others to liberate themselves from disempowering body-related narratives and beliefs.

Our emotional state affects the people around us. Maybe that's why we often hear people say that laughter is infectious. When we laugh, when joy or excitement bubble up from us, we are putting positive ions of energy out there and people feed off of it. The same is true for less bouyant moods. Ever spend time with an inconsolabe baby or a child throwing a tantrum and feel your insides freaking out right along with them?

Well, we can take charge of the mood we carry around and spread. It's a process but it can be done and it does make life a lot more pleasant.

“The next time you look at an ‘addict,’ ‘druggie,’ or ‘junkie,’ try seeing a human being instead. You’d be surprised how much showing a little compassion can help someone else.” ~ Thom Delaney                                                                                               

With a career as a business development executive in the education sector, Delaney had a life that he said “appeared happy externally.” But Thom was using drugs as a way to self-medicate after a traumatic childhood and adolescence. He started with alcohol, then turned to cocaine use at 18 years old, and continued on with exploring other drugs, including ecstasy, acid, MDMA, and ketamine.

His dependency on drugs took “everything precious” in his life from him and the ketamine destroyed his bladder. Doctors warned him that if he didn’t quit he’d be dead in a month. Thom didn’t want to be dead more than he wanted the drugs so that death notice was what he needed to seriously step into the world of recovery and a whole new life.

A return to indigenous wisdom for the global transformation that is coming.

How does indigenous wisdom relate to our challenges in the modern world? What can we learn from ancient cultures, and how can we more wisely seek our own transformation?

We can see the shift already occurring in our own lives as many people are choosing to own less, simplify their lives, adopt new spiritual practices, and give attention to what is most fulfilling, such as spending more time with family or retreating into nature.

In 2020, Maren Montalbano wrote and produced a one-woman show about her personal story involving romance novels and sexual abuse called The Bodice Ripper Project.

In the process Maren realized there was still suffering, so she went in deep. When she performed, the physical act of singing such raw material with her audience, was deeply healing on a cellular level.

It was an incredible journey to her inner world and as the performance ended, she left behind her on the stage, a big heap of emotional baggage.

BIO

Maren Montalbano is an opera singer, business coach, and writer, whose voice appears on 3 GRAMMY Award-winning albums. She premiered The Bodice Ripper Project as an interactive digital performance at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. That show, along with the accompanying podcast of the same name, became an exploration of sexuality, feminism, and the journey to self-empowerment through the lens of romance novels.

Inspired by a passage I read from "Grow a New Body" written by Alberto Villaldo, it bears repeating that as humans we are a symphony of the masculine and feminine energies.

How mean can you be to your body?

Several years back, Nicole Ayers realized she wasn't okay. She was experiencing rampant thoughts and having nightmares, and old wounds she thought she had buried were reappearing.

This led Nicole on a journey of self-discovery only to find that she didn't like myself very much, especially her body.

She was horrified by how cruel she was to her body and now, with two daughters (ages twelve and ten), she couldn’t allow her body-shaming be the model for how they might relate to their bodies.

Nicole set herself on a mission to be a better role model for her girls and she did this through, of all things, writing letters. She started a daily journaling practice of writing love notes to her body and all its parts.

The transformation was liberating and was the tool that silenced the voice of shame.

Bio: Self-love sage and author Nicole C. Ayers is a dynamic and engaging speaker who gets real, raw and vulnerable about her personal journey to finally loving herself. And all her body parts. She’s a strong voice for female empowerment and the freedom it brings. Nicole’s speaking style is just like a warm embrace, pulling people in and leave with transformative tools to get to know themselves.

Nicole is the award-winning author of Love Notes to My Body, recognized as one of 2020’s best life-changing books, and its two body-positive companion books. She’s been invited by local and national media to speak about the importance of body acceptance and where she encourages everyone to disrupt the narrative that tells them they are not enough. And that their bodies are not beautiful.

And for where I am at now in my death, dying and grief contemplation I know for sure that I don’t want to handle the business of death until I first embody the belief that dead is not gone forever, but gone from form.

In this episode Mat explains the connection between the untold story of his biological roots and his career success.

For Mat Boulé, the desire to know his biological roots intensified as he got older. In his experience, he didn’t have fewer questions as he got older, on the contrary, the more he matured into his own self, the more he needed to know about his history, pre-adoption.

The unanswered questions left a gaping hole in Mat and drove him to spending much of his life overachieving, over giving and overworking in the effort to prove to himself and the world that he is worthy of love and belonging. He was curious and restless and high achieving and even though he knows how much his adoptive family loves him, there was only one thing to fill the hole. Answers.

Show quote: “I’m getting better at it but for me, it’s always been an unhealthy compensation of more learning and more work. Anything to avoid empty time to think or for my mind to rest. Anything to fill the void of not knowing my biological roots.”

What happened next for Bhaskar is not anything he would ever wish on anyone. Sudden and complete paralysis. No sign. No warning.

In this episode, Bhaskar shares with us the debilitating fear that got the best of him until he decidedly worked on shifting his mind out of fear and into the “what is” of radical acceptance.

Show quote: “When I was in that state of absolutely helpless pain I was suicidal. I was trying to be present with what was happening, but I was really suffering for several weeks of my entire body laced with pain. My martial arts teacher gave me permission to leave that reality and it gave me so much relief. When I woke up the next morning the clear thought was; this is how it is. I cannot pray it way or wish it away. The very next thought was, Okay, let’s dance with this.”

Bhaskar Goswami takes us back to his childhood as a refugee adjusting to new customs, expectations and dealing with the exclusion that inevitably comes with being an outsider. He revisits the stepping stones that took him on a journey from ambitious pursuits to pursuing meaning in servitude.

In his mid-twenties he did what not many young people manage to do. He turned his back on a lucrative career that his ambitions and education provided him to identify where he might find fulfillment, purpose and servitude. This led him to a reinvention as a Yogipreneur, bringing wellness into the workplace long before it was a thing.

Show quote: "There’s an ancient principle called Dharma. It’s the understanding that we are all born in unique ways. And what Dharma speaks to is the understanding and mastering and refinement of our unique gifts so we can offer them to the world. That’s kind of what this is about. The pre-conditioned ambition that I realized, ‘is not me.’”

In this episode, Lisa McKenzie shares her story from being hit with a physical crisis to realizing the spiritual gift of her body and the intelligence it allows her to access every day to tune into her intuition.

Denying her truth in every cell of her body and intellect. Denying her connection and the abilities she had pushed away as a child for fear of no one understanding or worse, dismissing her. She diminished her truth so deeply so as to not draw attention to who she really was, that it was setting her body on fire to get her attention.

She saw more than 17 health professionals who could not explain what she had or how long she would have it.

After more than a year of numbing the pain and having grown exhausted from trying to find a medical explanation for this crisis, she was confined to her bed that summer for 2 unable to even turn around without the fiery pain. In those two weeks, she numbed herself with any distraction until the pain got so bad and her face was so inflamed that now, she could barely open her eyes.

THAT’S WHEN SHE SANK WITHIN and for the first time in a very long time, she listened.

In Lisa’s words, “I was in too much pain to worry, to plan, or to think about anything else. I just surrendered and waited for guidance. I waited, forgave myself for any expectation, and waited some more until I heard it. At that moment I promised my soul that I would no longer dismiss it in fear but would welcome my knowing with curiosity until I could feel it throughout my body. Until the knowing became my being.”

I PROMISED MY SOUL THAT I WOULD FOLLOW MY GUT, LISTEN WITH MY HEART, AND ACT ON MY INTUITION. WEEKS LATER, ALL MY SYMPTOMS WERE GONE.”

11 years ago Shari Ware was 34 years old and morbidly obese. As she had been for most of her life.

Fast forward to now and Shari learned that the extra weight was a form of protection that she wore like a suit of armour. It wasn’t until she examined her need for that protection that it went away. This is how she was able to do what she needed to do to make lifestyle changes, one at a time and release 100kg naturally.

As Shari will explain, she had to do the hard work of transforming herself on the inside to help the physical transformation she desired. That inner work is what makes her a better parent, family member and friend. She removed the root cause of her weight protection by treating the cause and not the symptoms and she doesn’t need the protection anymore.

Now Shari LIVEs life & helps other beautiful souls like herself to do the same.

Shari Ware is a Health Coach, bestselling author & international speaker who is on a mission to help people to change their weight or health story in a way that is healthy, sustainable & doesn't completely suck, by working on the root cause rather than treating the symptoms. Shari's motto after losing 100kg herself naturally is "You CAN change your story, one change at a time!"

A story of (re)discovery. Growing up Ben Fritz did everything by the book and did all the "right" things. He went to a great college, I got a great degree, and eventually - got a great job. He worked really hard and within two years of graduating was making over $70,000/year.

Except... he wasn't happy. A growth-oriented, forward-looking individual - Ben had no ambitions within the framework of his career. He didn’t enjoy the job and felt like he was wasting his potential. You see, Ben knew that there was more in him, that he had something meaningful to contribute but he wasn't on the right path.

So Ben started asking the deeper questions... What do I want? What do I care about? What does matter to me? What do I want to do for the rest of my life? What do I have to offer the world?

And then, Ben made the bold decision to quit the comfy job with the secure pay check job to pursue a job as a personal trainer, something he felt pulled to do. And also something that had never been presented as a "real, respectable career."

This decision changed his life and now Ben is aligned and living the life he was meant to live. On his terms.

BIO: Ben is a life coach who empowers difference-makers to realize their true potential, find fulfillment, and live freely. He believes deeply that we all have something to offer the world and that understanding that thing - the unique combination of things that makes us who we are - is the key to personal success, freedom, and fulfillment. He asserts that everything we want is within us. Ben is a big-thinker and deep-feeler and is crazy enough to think that he (along with every single one of us) can change the world.

After Lianne Bridges’ husband Bob died of cancer in 2009, she was left to cope with devastating grief and the challenge of raising her two young boys alone. Not at all the life she imagined when she married the love of her life.

This led Lianne to embark on a journey of self-healing and rediscovery. Through this, she came to realize that Bob’s death was a catalyst for her awakening to greater awareness. This included connecting with him in the Hereafter. When she opened herself to powers beyond her usual earthly perceptions and understanding, Lianne derived the strength that helped her get through the worst of times. Bob’s death and her ability to connect with him beyond this realm is what got her through. She has since rebuilt her life, and emerged stronger to set a new and more meaningful path for myself.

As Lianne will tell us, “While losing Bob was the most difficult experience I’ve ever gone through, it also redefined my life in almost every way — deepening the connection to my inner wisdom and the nurturing beauty of self-love. Losing the love of my life helped me learn to find my own worthiness and independence and to reorient my compass towards my true North. Today, my life’s mission is to help others uncover their unique soul’s expression and live a life of love, passion, purpose and magic.”

Lianne Bridges' memoir, Love Will Keep Us Alive, recounts this journey.

Today, she shares her transformative process to inform and inspire others to follow their dreams and live a happier, more satisfying life.

BIO: Lianne Bridges is an author, speaker and career/business and leadership coach who loves helping people to reignite their passion by discovering and pursuing their life calling.

Caring for her mother at 25 years old put life on hold for Sharon but not without first opening her eyes to a medical system that fails their patients and the relationship standards that were of her time.

For the two years that her mother went from cancer diagnosis to ultimately losing her fight, Sharon learned a lot about patient care as well the heavy sacrifices she made in her marriage to Sharon’s father.

Her curiosity and desire for living a healthy, holistic lifestyle turned a passion into a profession. She uses her vast knowledge, training and more than 20 years of experience as a certified naturopath, Bioset intolerance practitioner and cranio-sacral therapist to help women to recognize that radiant health lies within their innate wisdom.

Today, Sharon sees dis-ease as opportunity for growth and evolution.

Show quote: “I feel her cancer was a manifestation. Where was her cancer? It was in her ovaries, the feminine parts. It was her feminine parts that were full of disease, it was her feminine parts that were dying. In her lifetime and in her marriage, my mother didn’t have the freedom to express her womanhood and thrive. When I found the school of naturopathy, I found the missing pieces of her cancer disease and the dis-ease of her womanhood.”

Many people have found that they experience a deepening, or a deeper sense of self or beingness, immediately after and as a result of having endured a period of disorder or chaos. 

Life unfolds between the polarities of order and chaos. It is important at this time to recognize these two fundamental opposites, without which the world could not even be.

Jennifer Garman suffered from over 7 years with a mystery illness that all the doctors and all the specialists could not diagnose. Instead of subsiding, her symptoms snowballed. Weaker and weaker, sicker and sicker, unable to function, Jennifer, while still relying on Western medicine to find answers to her mystery condition, took responsibility for what she could control. Her mind.

When Jennifer accepted her circumstances and began implementing mindset principles rooted in gratitude, her health was restored. Symptom free, energetic, vibrant and very much living a full and grateful life, Jennifer knew that healing this health crisis was her gift. To herself and to give.

Jennifer started GratitudeMission.org. She took the Growing Gratitude Tree to market to share the power of gratitude and it debuted on HSN fall of 2018. Last April, her book Flourish was published and she began my podcast Upward Trajectory in late June.

Show quote: “The one thing I struggled with before I could bring gratitude into my life was forgiveness. We have to fully forgive ourselves before we can truly bring gratitude into our lives.”

Until he reached the age of 22, when Sean Bartlett received an unusual treatment, his life was, well, messy. Very messy. He suffered with a handful of major struggles as a kid and teenager. Sean suffered from chronic insomnia from babyhood to young adulthood, leading him on a path of self-destruction. Sean went through phases of being an alcoholic, depression, drug use and pretty much every kind of self-harming behaviours he could come up with to wreck his life.

So, what turned his life around?

At 22 years old, Sean Bartlett received a high-tech and non-invasive Magnetic Brain Treatment that saved his life, both literally and figuratively. Within a month or so of this treatment, Sean quit every bad habit he had. Something he was so out of control with that he had never even known that was even an option. From that point on, he knew he had to dedicate his life to brain health and technology.

The Sean today, after brain imaging treatment, is one of the most stable, joyful and carefree people you will meet. And he’s living a dream life with a dream job saving others, who like him, do not know how to save themselves.

Sean Bartlett is an experiential teacher. Having studied massage therapy, Time Line Therapy, NLP, Hypnosis and various other physical and psychological modalities he has developed a deep understanding of the human body and mind. Over the last 5 years Sean has spent his time working one on one with people with ailments ranging from Autism to PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. These people have been helped by using an innovative magnetic brain treatment. His expertise has helped many people over the past 10 years explore their minds and change their lives.

Sean says, “I’ve learned a lot from the last 5 years of being a neurotechnician. I am passionate and knowledgeable about brain health, innovative brain technologies, NLP, living life to the fullest, and mindset. And, this is helping people change their lives.”

In seeking help to save her marriage, Monica Karam instead, found herself on a quest to discovering herself.

Every night when the kids fell asleep she had her pity party. “I believed it was my fault and something was wrong with me and I needed to be better. I needed therapy. It was a lot to process alone.”

Facebook groups were helpful. Monica made friends there and even started her own mom group that grew into a really engaging community where she made important new friendships that are still her support group these days.

She learned to tap into her superpower, which by the way, was always there in the shadows of all the roles she played and with that, she gained back her independence and learned to love herself from the inside out. Opening herself to Trust changed Monica’s life and with time she developed her own modalities and decided to combine these with energy work in her coaching.

Monica Karam is an international Intuition and Clarity Coach & blogger. Her life purpose is guiding people to shed all that they don’t need to reconnect with their true essence and live their lives from the inside out.

The moment you look your mother-in-law straight in the eye and answer her question, “well, do you want to divorce him?” with, “Yes. I want to divorce your son.” With those words, Brandy knew what it looked and felt like to take her power back and own her life. Scary but also freeing. How do you own your life? Brandy tells us it’s by taking responsibility for every decision and everything that comes with it.

There are people who hear the phrase, “it’s time to take responsibility for yourself” and they just want to run because it feels so burdensome. That’s why I can’t wait for listeners to hear Brandy’s take on the word responsibility and how what you do with yours makes the difference between an intentional life and one that runs you to the ground. It’s actually a superpower that we can all tap into to transform out of whatever’s not working for us.

Sometimes, all it takes is one thing. One moment, when you’re open and ready and fed up enough to just give in and let miracles take over. Not that Dahna needed saving but she did need to know that she wasn’t alone. Dahna’s mom died when she was but a child and her dad died when she was 16 so there was no choice but to grow up and figure out how to do life without parents. And she did but she also needed to rid herself once and for all of the pervasive loneliness that filled her.

With over 40 years of entrepreneurial spirit coursing through her blood, Dahna Weber, founder of M!NC Magic, Catapult Catalyst and Women’s Workation centres her work around web design and all things www (world wide + web)! Makes sense that she bears the name WEB-er J

Anna Angarita was abandoned before she was even born, growing up without a father and a mom who was abusive to her physically and emotionally, Anna believed that she was unworthy of love. Believing the only way to be liked by others, she lied about her family life and training herself to own her truth. Ask, and the Universe shall provide. It’s amazing what can happen for a person’s self-esteem when they heed the call and do the work, for Anna it was purposeful running, a new best friend, life coaching and the moment she took the stage to undo the lie that had kept her chained.

There is so much meat in today’s monologue that will surely resonate with our listeners.

Show quote: At 3 years old I asked my mother, Where’s my dad,” and she answered, “He left because you were going to be born and it’s your fault he’s not here. Now, never ask me that question again.” She was crying and all I could think was, “I’m a really bad kid. All of this happened because of me.” And I guess that’s when my survival instinct kicked in.

Anna’s memoir, Owning My Truth will be available for presale on September 24, 2020

In this episode Lindsay Lapaquette talks about the shock of losing her dad in a sudden accident while dealing with two young children on the spectrum and herself, giving corporate workshops on effective communication. During this most difficult time Lindsay came to realize that the only way to change the stress in her life was to stop avoiding difficult conversations with people. No more saying what people want to hear just to get approval or meet their needs it was through tragedy and having to be the voice for her children with special needs that Lindsay started to show up and speak up in her truth with everyone, all the time. Sounds hard? Not when giving people what they want to hear is harder and makes more of a mess than truth.

Lindsay Lapaquette is a workplace communication expert with a clinical background as a former speech-language pathologist.

Show quote: “We had access to support because I was in that field and just because of the family I was born into and I always kept thinking, wow I’m having so much trouble getting heard and being taken seriously with my concerns and also, being judged for the decisions we were making with our children with special needs, what do other people do?”
