They explore the impact of hybrid working on mental health, discuss the dangers of portraying perfection in leadership, and offer practical steps for improving workplace connection. The conversation wraps up with a challenge to listeners to analyze their relationships.Quote: “We need to invest in ourselves, in the strength of our mind and the strength of our well-being.” Mike Pagan
If there is anything that we have learned during COVID, it is that isolation is not good for our mental health and our overall well-being. Whether we are in a leadership role or a team member, we need to have support to help us feel connected and part of a team. Working in isolation, be that in a company or as part of a team (yes, team isolation is very real), can often cause a lack of direction and creativity, which prevents the ability to make decisions. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are happy to welcome Mike Pagan, who will share his “Mental Wealth” philosophy and how we can all help each other feel less isolated and alone.
Mike is an executive coach with more than 25 years of combined corporate business management, coaching and consulting experience who coined the phrase “Mental Wealth.” He is an expert in helping clients achieve positive mental wealth through building hand-picked support networks and helping them unlock significant performance improvements. His expertise includes working with entrepreneurial small businesses through to corporate board members and professional sportsmen and women, both in the UK and internationally.
Authentic Touch Points:Mike’s path to mental health. 2:30Being proactive and accountable. 5:00Unintentional isolation. 8:30Trust and empower your team. 13:30CSR vs HSR. 16:00Fill your own cup first. 19:00Being vulnerable as a leader. 22:00Creating team connection. 24:00Mike has found himself lost at points in his career, alone and isolated due to a lack of meaningful proactive support. By surrounding himself with his own hand-picked Mental Wealth team of supportive people, he’s now happier in life, more successful in business and feels more mentally and physically able to navigate the path ahead.

Quote: “Confident competent leaders don’t harass their staff. Confident competent leaders don’t bully their staff. That says it all right there.” Linda Crockett
Have you ever been harassed or bullied at work? I know that many of us have at one time or another. It’s stressful and can affect your health, both physical and mental, in so many ways. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to welcome workplace bullying expert Linda Crockett to share her expertise and tell us what we can do if we’re experiencing a less-than-welcoming workplace.
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to part 1
Linda is known for pioneering the first and only full-service workplace harassment, bullying, and violence resource center in Canada since 2010. She has also spearheaded the regional and national workplace bullying awareness week with active government leader endorsement since 2010. Linda has won awards from the Government of Alberta and the University of Calgary for her specialized services. Her clinical and professional training includes a master’s degree specializing in workplace bullying. She is a practitioner of somatic experiencing trauma therapy, with training in EMDR, Prolonged exposure to PTSD, CBT, Addictions, Grief and Loss, and has 34 years of experience in her profession of social work which includes 12 years in this specialized area.

Due to the complex nuances involved in these cases, Linda is continually identifying gaps in services and knowledge within all workplace systems, offering services to fill those gaps, and creating a worldwide network of resources. Linda’s main goal is prevention along with early and effective interventions to prevent further harm, and repair options.

Quote: “Your words are a signal to the people around you about whether you’re truly thinking about their experience.” Emily Nichols
Words shape our world. You know when someone says “Hey guys”, and they're referring to a group of differently gendered people? Most of us don’t even notice, but in this day and age, we really do need to be more aware of the language we use to avoid excluding or offending anyone. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re excited to welcome Emily Nichols to talk about her experience as a woman in engineering and how gender parity impacts the workplace.

Most of us have experienced some type of exclusion in our lives at one time or another and know the pain of feeling “less than”. Systemic Barriers are obstacles that place unequal value on individuals and communities and include racism, poverty, disparities in health, education and the criminal justice system. Many in society today are desperately trying to improve inclusion, but we still have a very long way to go. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are happy to welcome Carolyn Treviño Jenkins to share her lived experiences of different systemic barriers and how she has overcome adversity and created something wonderful to help others.

Quote: “My summary of what resilience is, is that it’s not bouncing back…it’s about growing through.” Mark Black
Managing change is not always easy, but it is necessary in order to grow and maintain a healthy and resilient mindset. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome Mark Black to share his story of embracing adversity to thrive through change and talk about his brand-new book, The Resilience Roadmap.
Mark is a heart and double-lung transplant recipient, turned 4-time marathon runner. A resilience expert, coach, and author, he helps people “Thrive in Challenging Times.” His programs provide the tools to transform your adversity into your advantage. Mark doesn’t just teach resilience, he embodies it. Born with a life-threatening heart defect, Mark underwent two open-heart surgeries before the age of one. He battled his condition and its limitations for twenty-two years until he was forced to deal with the biggest obstacle of his young life.
His doctor informed him that his heart was failing, and without a rare and dangerous heart and double-lung transplant, he would not see his 25th birthday. In 2002, Mark was fortunate that a suitable donor was found. He not only survived the surgery, but less than 3 years later, Mark became the only man in history to run a marathon with someone else’s heart and lungs.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Mark’s long and arduous health journey. 3:00
- It’s part of my “normal”. 7:30
- Don’t worry about what you can’t control. 11:00

- Quiet reflection breeds acceptance. 22:00
- The Resilience Roadmap. 24:30
- Resilience is formed by making mistakes. 30:00
- Adaptability tips for leaders. 34:00
Mark is now a Certified Speaking Professional, a designation held by less than 1000 speakers in the world. He has inspired more than 150,000 people in more than 450 presentations and has worked with global brands including Exxon Mobil and Mercedes Benz, as well as many national and regional associations. Mark lives in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada where he spends as much time as possible with the most important people in his life; his wife Marise and their three children.
I am doing my virtual book launch on Tuesday, June 27th at 12:00 pm ET and invite you to join me, even if you can only stop by for a few minutes.

Quote: “My mission is to show leaders how to be amazing when they present. How to get their message across and transform the world in which we live.” David Thomas
How do you feel when you’re speaking in front of an audience, a group of co-workers, or employees? Do you think you’re nailing it every time, or would you like your message to land better? We’re not all natural-born speakers or communicators, but most of us do have the capacity to improve. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re excited to welcome David Thomas to share his ideas on helping executives become fantastic speakers and how it affects the ROR: Return On Relationships.
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/presentation-rockstars-and-the-ror-with-david-thomas/
David is a global speaker and CEO presentation skills coach who has coached and spoken to more than 500,000 people in 60 countries over the last 25 years. As the phrase goes, he's been around a bit. He’s also a Sunday Times #1 bestselling author whose books have had a worldwide readership of more than 1 million people, as well as the US Memory Champion, Guinness record breaker and competitive bodybuilder. Because you can't get on stage too often wearing nothing but skimpy undercrackers and 10 gallons of fake tan. He’s an all-around Yorkshire legend!

How to get their message across and transform the world in which we live. How to smash every presentation and, dare I even say it, how to enjoy the experience of giving a great speech! In short, what he does is turn leaders into presentation rockstars!

Gender equality works to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders; today we're focusing on women and their rights.
Quote: “There’s really a need to invest in the empowerment of women underground. Whether it’s economically, socially, culturally, it has to be a package.” Tacko Ndiaye
The Women’s Equality Movement started almost 200 years now. Every decade has had more and more women speaking up and speaking out in an attempt to create a more equitable world for women and girls around the globe. Women’s rights are human rights! These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to have Tacko Ndiaye join us to talk about her book Women and share her experience of more than 25 years fighting for women everywhere.
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/gender-equality-with-tacko-ndiaye/
Tacko is a Gender Team Leader at Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is based at FAO Headquarters in Rome. She has extensive experience working with governments, national women's groups, bilateral and multilateral organizations, women's networks, civil society, and parliamentarians to advance gender mainstreaming and women's rights in policies, programmes, budgets, institutions, and statistics. Her book, WOMEN, is a powerful visual representation of the journey that women travel. It combines aesthetic beauty, symbols, and visual metaphors to trigger emotions and responses to enduring gender inequalities in all areas of life. WOMEN enriches Tacko’s way of working to initiate action, based on her 25 years of empowering women and girls worldwide. It is her simple, or not-so-simple, way to try something new in being a voice for change.

Gender equality works to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders; today we're focusing on women and their rights.
Quote: “If you have high levels of illiteracy, women cannot even read about their rights.” Tacko Ndiaye
The Women’s Equality Movement started almost 200 years now. Every decade has had more and more women speaking up and speaking out in an attempt to create a more equitable world for women and girls around the globe. Women’s rights are human rights! These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to have Tacko Ndiaye join us to talk about her book Women and share her experience of more than 25 years fighting for women everywhere.
Tacko is a Programme Specialist in UNIFEM Africa Section in New York. She has extensive experience working with governments, national women's groups, bilateral and multilateral organizations, women's networks, civil society, and parliamentarians to advance gender mainstreaming and women's rights in policies, programmes, budgets, institutions, and statistics. Her book, WOMEN, is a powerful visual representation of the journey that women travel. It combines aesthetic beauty, symbols, and visual metaphors to trigger emotions and responses to enduring gender inequalities in all areas of life. WOMEN enriches Tacko’s way of working to initiate action, based on her 25 years of empowering women and girls worldwide. It is her simple, or not-so-simple, way to try something new in being a voice for change.

Her responsibilities included conducting socioeconomic studies on African development by applying quantitative and qualitative methods such as the African Gender and Development Index.

Quote: “Often managers or board members…we’re all trained in our technical abilities. Often it’s technical people that become promoted to managerial or board member roles. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re great communicators or great facilitators. These are specialist skills.” Avinder Laroya
We have all experienced conflict at some point in our lives, whether it was at work, at home or with a friend. When we’re in that space, we often think with emotion rather than logic, and things can easily escalate to become a much larger issue. When this happens in the workplace, we may need some help to work through the issue(s). On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Avinder Laroya all the way from Switzerland to share her expertise about mediating conflict in the workplace and how it affects the ROR.
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/mediating-workplace-conflict-ror-with-avinder-laroya/

Quote: “88% of adult Americans are considered metabolically unhealthy. Those are shocking statistics, and it’s increasing.” Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum
Functional medicine is a more patient-centred approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying the cause of the disease and not just treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. It looks at the patient’s history and gathers information to try to find the underlying cause of the illness. Functional medicine is, thankfully, becoming much more mainstream. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum to share her experience and thoughts on why functional medicine is a better solution for combating chronic disease and lowering healthcare costs.

Quote: “In the survey that we did, the very great majority of organizations don’t have a formal approach to enabling their senior leaders to leave well and therefore create the space for new leaders to arrive.” Oliver Johnston
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/senior-leadership-with-oliver-johnston/
Senior leaders work hard to claim their place in the company, but how do they know when it’s time to let someone else take over the reins? No one is given a best-before date, so how are they supposed to know the best time to transition into an encore career or retirement? Senior leaders can step out too early, and they can step out too late. Getting it just right isn't as easy as it might seem. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top, Oliver Johnston, to share his ideas and expertise on offboarding and the support that may be required for this significant career and life transition.
Oliver is the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top Team. Stepping Out is a specialist coaching practice that helps senior leaders step out from the executive suite successfully. In December 2020, Oliver retired from his professional coaching practice in order to concentrate solely on leading the Stepping Out practice. He is an accredited Stepping Out Coach and a highly experienced top team advisor and facilitator.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Retirement is a relatively new concept. 2:00
- How companies can prepare for change. 5:00
- It’s never too early to start planning. 10:00
- The 3 Horizons. 13:30
- Where do we go from here? 22:30
- What companies should consider. 27:30
Oliver was a highly successful business consultant with an international reputation in change, organizational and leadership development. He has extensive experience working in a wide variety of sectors, including accounting, banking and finance, academic and research, law, consulting, IT, pharmaceuticals, engineering & manufacturing, food & beverage, retailing, public service & administration, energy & utilities, transport & logistics. Oliver’s passion is supporting senior executives as they think, plan and execute their journey from the top team to the exit door and move on to new adventures.

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/female-leadership-and-happiness-with-wendelijn-van-der-leest/
History books are full of facts and stories about men that have been written since the beginning of time, but what about their female counterparts? It has only been in the last few decades that much research has been done to showcase women in ancient history. To help bring some of their stories to light and discover their amazing accomplishments, we’re thrilled to welcome Historian and Female Leadership Expert Wendelijn van der Leest to share some of her knowledge about women in history and how they have paved the way for current female leaders.
Wendelijn is a historian, female leadership expert and mom of two living in the Netherlands. Although she holds degrees and Ph.D. work in both ancient and contemporary history, her heart and research lies at the intersection of female leadership and the themes of happiness and success in ancient Roman society.

Wendelijns motto: I am committed to history. Not just for what it reveals about the past, but for what it reveals about me, my community, my nation and the world at large. History is a tool to help us into the future.”

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/blame-shifting-with-dr-karyne-messina/
We have seen a major shift in the political landscape over the last several years. It seems that we have become fairly desensitized to hearing outrageous statements made by those in power.

Her latest book, Resurgence of Global Populism: A Psychoanalytic Study of Projective Identification, Blame-Shifting and the Corruption of Democracy (Routledge Publishing, August 2022), offers evidence of how populists can wrest power and sow discord while eroding democratic processes in a slow decline towards authoritarianism.

Quote: “When you’re owning it, the expression of your brand becomes almost effortless.” Julianna Bootsman
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/conscious-leadership-with-julianna-bootsman/
There is so much talk lately about love in the workplace (no, not that kind of love), and we know that some are not yet willing to embrace the concept. There is a lot to be said about leading with your heart, and I discuss this in-depth in my soon-to-be-released book ROR: Return On Relationships. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome Conscious Leadership Coach Julianna Bootsman to share her expertise on the topic of love as the foundation for leadership and business.
Julianna is the Chief Spiritual Officer who works with companies and leaders around the world. She builds and facilitates Conscious Leadership training programs that guide companies and leaders to live and operate from the foundation of love, with both heart and head working together to create outcomes where everyone thrives. As Chief Spiritual Officer, Julianna is a leader in human growth and cultural change, connecting the spirit of who you are to the spirit of what you do.

- K-O-A 13:00
- How we impact the bottom line. 18:00
- Tips to get started. 20:30

Love is what resurrected Julianna from years of secretive bulimia and a traumatic divorce. It’s what fuels her fire for motherhood and lights the way for her company. Today, she is an ICF-certified coach, certified mindfulness and meditation practitioner, award-winning communicator, and speaker. Working with leaders on all levels, she has a unique ability to guide people through topics, conversations and experiences that inspire and creates shifts in perspective and long-lasting change and transformation.

What is your leadership style? Are you a very fact and process-based leader or are you more driven by your heart and feel a connection to those you lead?

When I first met Shelley, I interviewed her for my latest book, ROR, Return on Relationships, Amplify Your Authentic Leadership to Build More Resilient Teams. We decided to turn that interview into a podcast. As my book launch is fast approaching, I wanted to reintroduce you to Shelley and the fantastic information that she shared about authentic leadership.
Leadership can be daunting and while becoming a great leader for your team is no easy task, going in with the right mindset will carry you a long way. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome CEO Shelley Butler, who shares her story about how a slight shift in thinking helped her become the leader she is today.
By title, Shelley is the CEO of Dovico! She spreads a message of compassion, health and love like no other. While her day-to-day work has her doing various operational tasks and making CEO-like decisions, her greatest work comes from ensuring that everyone has a stake in Dovico’s direction.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Shelley’s path to leadership. 1:30
- Putting trust in and learning from your team. 6:30
- The “Awakening”. 9:45
- When does integrity begin? 17:00

- Making the shift to servant leadership. 28:30
- Put people where they find their joy. 34:30
- Can we create a “new normal”? 40:00
There’s a power shifter in every great organization—someone whose purpose is to transfer power from one person to another. Shelley is Dovico’s power shifter. But instead of taking power from one person and moving it to another, Shelley helps everyone she meets to see the power they have within, and she does it with nothing more than love, dignity and respect.

Quote: "How do you get people to be engaged and get people to change? It starts by being authentic!" Yves Doucet
Great teams don’t just happen, they need to be cultivated, nurtured and cared for. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome CEO, Yves Doucet who will share his inspiration and ideas for building teams that are highly functional, greatly motivated and enjoy the atmosphere and culture that's been created by using some basic principles of energy and quantum physics.

Quote: “In lieu of actual information, people will create their own stories…that’s just human nature.” Jason Reid
Chronic illness and invisible disabilities are serious topics, and I think we all know someone who has been inflicted by one or the other. Government statistics show one in three working-aged adults has at least one chronic health condition, and that number is rising dramatically each year. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Jason Reid to share his insight and advice on how leaders and team members can create a more understanding and inclusive environment for everyone.
Chronic illness and invisible disability are topics that Jason knows well. Despite having lived with Crohn’s disease and arthritis, Jason built an impressive career in network television as a writer, award-winning producer and executive. Now he shows audiences how to overcome adversity, succeed in the face of illness, and effectively manage people with chronic diseases in the workplace.
Authentic Touch Points:
- You have no idea how many people are affected 1:30
- Keep the conversation open and honest 6:00
- Lead by building trust 9:00
- Try to understand their reality 13:00
- Don’t be afraid to share 16:30
- Why neurodiversity can be a benefit 22:30
- We need to be constantly learning 26:00
In addition to his own health challenges, Jason has successfully managed disability issues for many of his employees, doubling his department's productivity through his innovative approach to accommodation. Jason is also the author of Thriving in the Age of Chronic Illness – A guide for people with chronic health conditions and the organizations that employ them.

Quote: "Look at the new marijuana, just go and Google marijuana dabs and look at the products! It's completely chemical, highly potent, very addicting." Laura Stack
Marijuana has been legalized in several parts of the world, and much of the negative stigma has disappeared. We see doctors prescribing it for the medical benefits of pain control in place of opiates and NSAIDs, managing nausea, giving relief from tremors and many other medical issues. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are talking with Laura Stack, who suffered the loss of her son Johnny to suicide, which has been attributed to his use of highly potent THC distillates.
Laura was best known in the business world for her professional moniker, The Productivity Pro. Her 30-year career as a keynote speaker, bestselling author of eight productivity books, and corporate spokesperson came to a screeching halt on November 20, 2019, when her 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide after becoming psychotic from dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. Laura responded by forming the non-profit, Johnny's Ambassadors to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today's high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide.
Authentic Touch Points:
- What is dabbing? 2:30
- It's not your parent's pot. 5:30
- Cannabis-induced psychosis. 10:00
- Talk to your teen. 12:30
- Education is key. 16:30
- Start the conversation early. 20:00
- Treatment options available. 23:00
Laura's platform now brings education, awareness, and prevention curriculum to parents, drug prevention conferences, community groups, and schools to stop youth marijuana use. She is a powerful speaker who brings Johnny's personal warning and solid research together in her new book, The Dangerous Truth About Today's Marijuana: Johnny Stack's Life and Death Story. Described as a force of nature with unstoppable drive and unwavering purpose, Laura is determined to get teens to #StopDabbing.

Quote: “The only way to discover how to get somewhere is to figure out where the heck you’re going. Then start building your roadmap.” Cheryl-Ann Lovie
Overwhelm is defined as “too much, or almost too much, for one to manage”. I think that many of us are currently living in a state of overwhelm and need to make some significant changes to feel better. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome change expert Cheryl-Ann Lovie to share her journey and some great ideas to help us start on a new path to setting boundaries and creating real change for the better.
Cheryl-Ann Lovie is an entrepreneur at heart. She embodies the attributes of that title at work as well as in her everyday life – she gets s*&t done, anytime, anywhere, in any way possible. She’s known to ‘tell it like it is’ without sugar-coating anything. Cheryl-Ann is the voice of a generation of women who are driven by the “have to’s”.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Cheryl-Ann’s journey to the breaking point. 3:00
- I was a hamster on a wheel. 5:00

- How to start finding your joy. 24:00
- Creating a happier life. 30:00
Cheryl-Ann broke the cycle on the morning of her 55th birthday, (finally) holding her ground and declaring to the world: “IT’S MY TURN!” Cheryl-Ann is now on a mission to share her journey, learnings and experiences to help women avoid the mistakes she made and find their purpose through her books as well as speaking engagements.

Robert Quote: “You can’t inspire and motivate others unless you are inspired and motivated.” Robert Krenza
Gabriel Quote: “I think one of the most heartbreaking dichotomies in corporate culture is that you have to be two separate people.” Gabriel Krenza
The past 2 years have been challenging for everyone, there’s no doubt about it. Leaders everywhere have had a rough road navigating the continuous changes made by our respective governments and the constant demand to keep both their team and superiors happy. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Robert and Gabriel Krenza from BlackWolf Consultants, to discuss Transformational Leadership and share ideas for making transactional changes.
Robert Krenza founded BlackWolf Consultants to offer leaders guidance on a new journey where they can learn how to transform their lives and attain their goals. Robert gathers facilitators and coaches who act as guards and teachers – sometimes strongly, sometimes gently – but always with heart and meaning. He brings the qualities of courage, perseverance, passion, challenge, compassion, community, contribution, loyalty, and integrity, to his work. He listens to deeply understand the essence of all that is and the unrealized potential in a person, a team, or an organization.
Gabriel Krenza is a graduate of Presido Graduate School with an MBA in Sustainable Leadership and Analytics and is a Senior Consultant with BlackWolf focusing on Responsible Leadership through several methodologies including Wilderness Immersions to reconnect leaders with their environmental and social ethos in their roles in global organizations. As the Founder of BlackWolf Expeditions, Gabriel’s work in both the fields of sustainability strategy and organizational development are inspired by embracing the concept that our lives are intrinsically interconnected with all other lives on this planet.
I had such a wonderful and information-filled chat with Robert & Gabriel last week that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. In case you missed last week, here’s the link to Part I It’s not mandatory that you listen to it first, but I recommend that you do. There’s so much amazing content; it would be a shame for you to miss out on any of it.

This creates a legacy that empowers lasting culture change and leaves a positive impact on future generations – and the world.

Quote: “We long to go back to what was and what was familiar and hold on. How do we accept that it’s different right now?” Sue Lymburner
Almost 2 years ago, we were shutting down for what we thought was two weeks. Now, nearly two years later, we are struggling to get through our second COVID holiday season. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome back for another holiday edition, Roxanne’s long-time friend and trauma expert, Sue Lymburner, to discuss how people are working even harder this year to stay happy and jolly. It’s no wonder people are struggling with the current Omicron variant ravaging the entire planet, social distancing, restrictions for visiting loved ones in effect again and top it off with colder weather. Sue will share some strategies to help us keep our spirits bright throughout the holidays.
Sue has been a clinical psychotherapist for more than 20 years. She helps her clients deal with difficult life events such as abuse, addiction, a job or relationship loss, mental illnesses or unresolved trauma. She works with her clients to gain insight into the challenges they face so obstacles that might seem insurmountable can be overcome.

Quote: “The greatest gift we can all give right now might be the gift of human connection. And by a simple conversation, you can change not only your life but the life of the people that you’re speaking to.” Pete Bombaci
When the pandemic first hit, we thought it would be over in a matter of weeks. Now here we are, almost two years later, and we’re still in the thick of it. We’re all in a place that we’ve never been before, and many are struggling, especially those who live alone or work from home. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we have invited connection expert Pete Bombaci back to discuss how the pandemic has affected our connections and how we can help those who need it most.
Pete is an expert in the field of human connection and the founder of The GenWell Project - a Canadian organization dedicated to making the world a healthier and happier place by educating people about the importance of proactive face-to-face social connection and inspiring them to take action.
I had such a wonderful and information-filled chat with Pete last week that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series.

Under his leadership, Movember Canada grew to become the number one fundraising country in the world, raising 142M dollars. After nearly five years, Pete left Movember Canada and has since focused on the rollout of his passion project, The GenWell Project.
Although society was in need of a Human Connection Movement before the global pandemic, Covid-19 has raised the collective consciousness about the need for greater human connection in the world, and The GenWell Project is the catalyst that hopes to make that a reality.

The definition of conflict is a struggle or clash of interest, opinion, or even principles, a difference that prevents agreement.

Quote: “One thing I experience a lot, even today, is that women are judged on their performance and men are judged based on their potential.” Priska Burkard
The glass ceiling is a metaphor that describes the invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from attaining leadership and executive positions in organizations. While there seems to be a shift happening, women and minorities still have to work harder to prove themselves capable and worthy of becoming leaders, especially in male dominated fields. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Priska Burkard all the way from Switzerland to talk about her experiences obtaining leadership roles in finance and tech.
Priska has worked over 15 years in the finance industry, where she led national and international IT projects for major banks with great success. She started her career in the IT world as a career change in Software Engineering. Her skills and expertise enabled her to not only work for international projects but also move to Hong Kong to take on different roles in Project and Product Management. In 2016 she left the finance industry to focus on building her own company.
Authentic Touch Points:

- Creating a more diverse boardroom. 18:00
- Advice for women to break into tech. 23:00
- What leaders can do to attract and retain top talent. 27:00
As Managing Director of TechFace, Priska uses her experience, knowledge, and passion to support women pursuing a purposeful career in tech and connect them to companies committed to diversity and inclusion. She also helped to build Girls in Tech Switzerland, a global non-profit organization with the goal to attract and retain women in tech. She understands and has experienced the hardship and strength needed as a woman in tech and wants to support the next generation in reaching their dreams and career goals. Priska lives in Zurich and loves to spend her weekends in the mountains either skiing, hiking or biking.

Quote: “The way to define heart-based leadership is leadership that focuses on empathy and compassion. Really just being there for your people, understanding what they’re going through on a very deep level and then leading with that compassion.” Wade Thomas

As the founder and CEO of Aim to Win, author of the book “From the Heart,” and host of the Aim to Win podcast, Wade has coached and consulted with hundreds of leaders who are now practicing the principles of bringing out the best in high performing individuals and teams, so that they are equipped to achieve organizational excellence and business growth.

How many times in your life have you said the phrase “I hate my job” or “I need a career change”? I think for many people it happens quite frequently. I also think that since the beginning of the pandemic, many people are recognizing what is most important to them and it’s created an environment that allows or even encourages career change. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Career Strategist, Lindsay Gordon to share her expertise on how to decide when it’s time to leave or what you can do to improve your situation and learn to love your job again.
Lindsay is a career coach for analytically minded people who want to stop doing what they think is "right" in their career and start doing what's right for them. She helps people get clarity about what's right for them in a job and why, is confident about their skills and abilities, and is able to communicate that to interviewers, managers, and colleagues.

Lindsay started her career working as a recycled water engineer in Melbourne, Australia before landing at Google doing technical support for the Google Apps team. After 5 years of technical support, she transitioned into career development at Google before starting her own business. She loves applying her engineering brain to helping people find careers that fit, baking complicated pastries, and barbershop singing.

Quote: “Some countries have only 1 psychiatrist per 1 million people! There are over 270 million people in developing countries with no mental health care.” Matthew Dickson
There are many people out there who advocate for those with mental health issues, but not all of them lead by experience. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Matthew Dickson who has suffered with his own mental health issues and now takes his lived experience to help those in developing countries receive the help that they so desperately need.
Matthew gave us so much great information that we are splitting this into two episodes, if you missed Part I, CLICK HERE to listen.
Matthew is a Mental Health Advocate who works to help people in impoverished countries with no mental health care. His heart goes out to people in developing or war-torn countries who experience not only the torment of mental illness but the traumas of poverty or the horrors of war as well. It's not fair. Some countries have only one psychiatrist per million people. They have no medications. No counselling. No support groups.

As someone who went through mental illness in one of the most advanced countries in the world, Matthew could not believe how painful mental illness is. Canada has some of the best mental health resources in the world. What some people go through in other countries is unthinkable. Matthew works to restore their hope, their dignity and help them to regain good mental health. He has successfully overcome schizophrenia, has bicycled across Canada, and has an engineering degree. He loves the outdoors, making people laugh, and dancing!

Creating an atmosphere of trust and authenticity for your team is never an easy task, but it’s especially difficult now in these unprecedented times.

Charmaine says that her passion projects over the years have carried her through tough times. Her work as an Executive Producer of the Back Home Again film project was her beacon of light, hope and inspiration while going through surgeries and chemo in 2018. The movie will be released in the fall of 2021 and features an all-star cast including Jeremy Renner, Catherine O'Hara, Howie Mandel, Michael J. Fox, Mena Suvari, Martin Short, Tantoo Cardinal to name a few.

Mohammad is celebrated for creating and sustaining a humanity-centred culture at Softway based on the philosophy that love is a business strategy. However, there was a time when the company culture at Softway was so toxic that it almost caused the enterprise to fold. He took full responsibility for the problems at Softway and knew that, as the leader, he needed to change for the company to survive. After deep introspection, he eventually turned the company around. From this experience, Softway created Seneca, a product that helps other companies change their workplace culture.
With many of us working from home and feeling the pressure of the pandemic, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about your own self-awareness and creating a healthier mindset through connection.

Quote: “Too often I’ve seen middle managers that don’t have leadership skills that service their people. They don’t think that serving their people is what leadership is all about.” Tom Lawrence
What does it take to be a good leader? We have all seen it before…someone in the company gets promoted to management level and lacks the skills to be an effective leader. Just because you’re great at your job, doesn’t automatically make you a good leader. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome (all the way from the UK) Tom Lawrence to share his knowledge about what it takes to become a highly effective leader.
Tom began his career in 1999 as an apprentice mechanical engineer, working for an automotive company in Liverpool, UK. After completing his apprenticeship, he was made redundant from that company and had to find other work, which is when he joined the rail industry working for Merseyside’s train operator. He worked there for six years, and during that time he achieved his degree in mechanical engineering, his master’s degree in maintenance engineering, and he started his first leadership role as a project manager in 2009. After leaving Liverpool in 2011, he has worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London where he currently lives. Tom became a chartered engineer in 2013 and is a mentor for new and upcoming engineers working towards their chartership. Working in these different cities he had remained within the rail industry and led different types of engineering teams, learning and practicing different leadership styles.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Tom’s journey to leadership. 1:30
- Does the industry matter in regard to people skills? 4:00
- Manager vs Leader. 8:30
- It’s all about connection. 11:30

- Use the pandemic as an opportunity to improve. 18:30
- It’s okay to make mistakes. 22:30
- Step to help you become a great leader. 24:30
Tom has vowed to make it his life’s work to develop leaders and aspiring leaders into highly effective leaders so that, they can develop leaders and aspiring leaders into highly effective leaders. He hopes the information that is provided through his books, goes some way towards helping you achieve all you ever wanted from your career as a leader. Tom can see a world in which our leaders create environments that focus on people and help them to learn to lead, grow, and increase their influence for the good of us.

Quote: “The single greatest prevention that we can take to avoid depression is our good old social connection.” Pete Bombaci
Being in the midst of a global pandemic and currently in lockdown doesn’t make it easy to stay connected with people outside of your immediate household and for those who live alone, it’s nearly impossible to connect with others on a daily basis. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Pete Bombaci to discuss how we can all work to feel more connected in a time when we’re literally bound by law to stay apart.
Pete is an expert in the field of human connection and the founder of The GenWell Project - a Canadian organization dedicated to making the world a healthier and happier place by educating people about the importance of proactive face-to-face social connection and inspiring them to take action.

After nearly five years, Pete left Movember Canada and has since focused on the roll out of his passion project, The GenWell Project. Although society was in need of a Human Connection Movement prior to the global pandemic, Covid-19 has raised the collective consciousness about the need for greater human connection in the world and The GenWell Project is the catalyst that hopes to make that a reality.

Our first love relationship is with our biological mom. It’s our earliest understanding of connection, trust, and commitment. The first time we will feel supported or abandoned. It’s how we learn to bond with others. It’s how we learn about boundaries or the lack of them. When this relationship is imbalanced, it creates a Mother Wound that, when left unhealed, can profoundly and subconsciously affect your relationships, friendships, career, finances, fertility, parenting, and health. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we welcome Rev. Chelle who joins us to discuss how we can move through past trauma and administer self-care through uncertain times.
Rev. Chelle is a Metaphysical Minister, Family Constellation Facilitator & Clinical Hypnotist. She guides women as they connect the dots from their mother wound to issues in their relationships, career, finances, fertility, health and parenting. She does this with a paradigm shifting, evidence based, trauma informed healing experience that breaks generational and subconscious cycles of pain between daughters and their mothers.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Explaining the Mother Wound 3:00
- Finding the familial link 6:00
- Connecting the trigger(s) 9:30
- Hypnosis & how it can help disconnect the trigger 12:30
- Fear and uncertainty 20:00
- How to regulate our response 25:00
- What you can do to help yourself 29:45
Most of these lessons are unconscious; beginning in the womb, the lessons lay in our body on a cellular level. Later in life, they show up as the framework for our relationships, friendships, career, fertility, parenting, and our understanding of money and abundance. Rev. Chelle helps guide you through ending the cycle of your Mother Wound.

She is a sought-after speaker, both in Christian ministry and brain injury events. In 2020 she launched a podcast called Declaration Life, which coincides with her new album Declaration. Her journey has inspired her to become a passionate advocate for brain injury, lobbying on a statewide and national level with the Brain Injury Association of America, as well as personally working hard to provide support and encouragement to brain injury survivors and their families through her online community Hope After Head Injury.

Being an effective leader at any time is no easy task. The uncertainty of job loss, leading virtually and the economic realities of the global pandemic are making it so much more difficult. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Leadership Expert, Jenna Shellman to discuss her experience as a millennial, leading others and dealing with the fallout of the pandemic.
Jenna is passionate about millennials and believes that her generation received the short end of the stick when it comes to managing student loan debt, building financial stability, and having the confidence to travel down the road less travelled. The challenges that millennials face have been systematically brought on by the financial crisis in 2008, inflated college tuitions, and the constant need to feel validation. Boomer parents raised them hoping that there would be more relative economic and financial stability so their generation could prosper more than they did. However, this is not necessarily the case for many millennials.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Collectively fighting the pandemic.2:15
- The comparison between Boomers and Millennials.7:45
- Millennials must become adaptive.12:30
- Finding your “why”.19:00
- Millennials have never been “offline”.30:15
- Finding purpose as a millennial.35:00
- Embracing uncertainty and being resilient.43:30
Jenna created a podcast- Leading With Your Gut, a show that featured other individuals who embraced fear and had the confidence to listen to their inner voices. The podcast inspired her to start her own business: Leading With Your Gut Coaching & Consulting: Smart coaching for Millennials who want to boost their confidence, pivot from burnout, and live a purpose driven life.

In this time of uncertainty, many of us are struggling with feelings of anxiety and uneasiness. We worry about what the “new normal” might look like, how our jobs will be affected, if schools will reopen in September, and so much more. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Mindset Expert, David Richards to talk about how we can alleviate some of the worry by being more mindful of our thoughts.
David is a business professional, life coach, yoga instructor, and speaker on self-development. He spent his early childhood living in various parts of the United States and three years living on the island of Okinawa, Japan. After graduating university with a degree in English, he was commissioned an officer in the Marines. He served fifteen years on active duty before deciding to break out from the path his father and brother had followed in making the military a career and left the Marines to pursue life as a civilian.

David joined Cisco Systems in 2006 and shortly thereafter discovered yoga. A year later, he taught his first yoga class. Realizing the fulfillment that came from helping others see their vision more clearly, he became a certified life coach. He works with individuals and organizations conducting training through private coaching engagements, speaking events, and workshops.
Down to earth, insightful, and sometimes silly, he blends elements of yoga with quantum physics to bring the esoteric together with the practical for a truly unique perspective of how the mind works, in turn creating easily understood self-development plans that create lasting change for a more fulfilling life.

Leadership can be daunting and while becoming a great leader for your team is no easy task, going in with the right mindset will carry you a long way. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome CEO, Shelley Butler who shares her story about how a small shift in thinking helped her to become the leader that she is today.
By title, Shelley is the newly minted CEO of Dovico! She spreads a message of compassion, health and love like no other. While her day-to-day work has her doing various operational tasks and making CEO-like decisions, her greatest work comes from ensuring that everyone has a stake in Dovico’s direction.
Authentic Touch Points:

- Can we create a “new normal”?40:00
In every great organization, there’s a powershifter—someone whose purpose is to transfer power from one person to another. Shelley is Dovico’s powershifter. But instead of taking power from one person and moving it to another, Shelley helps everyone she meets to see the power they have within, and she does it with nothing more than love, dignity and respect.

We’re now 2 months into the quarantine and as we see the curve flattening, we’re hopeful that we can soon move on to our “new normal”. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting with a fellow therapist to talk about different ways there are to help people to cope throughout the pandemic and isolation. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, I am thrilled to welcome my friend Edy Nathan.
Edy Nathan MA, LCSWR is an author, public speaker and licensed therapist. She is an AASECT certified sex therapist, hypnotherapist and certified EMDR practitioner with more than 20 years of experience. Edy earned degrees from New York University and Fordham University, with post-graduate training at the Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy. She practices in New York City.
In her expertise as a grief therapist Edy interweaves her formal training as a psychotherapist with breathwork, guided imagery, ritual and storytelling. Trauma, abuse, and grief cause the soul to become imbalanced: The goal of the work is to find emotional calibration or balance to defy the depth of darkness and the grip grief often has on the psyche. She believes that everyone experiences grief throughout their lives. Grief is not just about the death of a loved one, but the losses we experience in life.
Authentic Touch Points:
- Edy’s career path took a turn.2:40
- Take your fears and put them into gear.6:25
- Listen to your “self-talk”.12:00
- Learning to slow down.15:45
- Creating connection without contact.20:35
- Virtual touches help when you’re alone.25:00
- Changing ineffective coping methods.31:20
- Stepping into mindfulness.37:30
Grief is hard to talk about. Edy teaches you to dance with your grief, to know it as a way to know yourself. An essential element in her practice is to offer clients the chance to combine psychotherapy with a deeper, more spiritual understanding of the self. She is dedicated to helping people understand their grief, cope with the fear and struggle that holds them back and learn to live fully.

Dan has always believed that Authentic Leaders are servants first. That’s why he has made it his mission to help others achieve exceptional results by leading from a mindset of serving.
Drawing upon his talent for storytelling and his passion for connecting with others, Dan has spent the past 15 years working to empower those around him. For nearly a decade, he served as a public-school teacher and pastor in Northeast Ohio. The work, while demanding, was incredibly rewarding—so in 2017, Dan decided to take his passion for developing leaders to a wider audience.

Domestic violence is not physical violence alone. Domestic violence is any behavior of which the purpose is to gain power and control over a spouse, partner, girl/boyfriend or intimate family member. Abuse is a learned behavior; it is not caused by anger, mental problems, drugs or alcohol, or other common excuses. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Author, Kendra Weenie who will share some of her story and talk about her journey of self-care and healing.
