10in10 Angela Talent - Relatively damaged or a hostage of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

Quite frankly, Angela is no one important. If you were to ask what she does or how she identifies, she would most likely say mom. In the last few years, she has noticed divisiveness amongst groups and wants to show the world how similar we all are in our suffering and our joy. She does that with her podcast Relatively Damaged. In addition to the podcast she hopes to effect real policy changes for those who are disabled in the United States where, when one becomes so disabled they need in-home-care, they become a hostage to their home.
Angela Talent is the mother of two. At the age of 35 she was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) which would rob her of the use of her hands and limit her ability to walk. At the beginning of 2021 she realized she could use her ability to listen and have meaningful conversations to show the world how uniquely beautiful the human experience is.

1. There's no reason your brain has to decline as you get older
2. Myth: Brain games will prevent cognitive decline. The only way a brain game can help if it's something that's new to you
3. Myth: memory loss is the biggest symptom to worry about. Rather, look out for personality changes, loss of sense of smell and new cravings for something sweet. 
4. Myth: my brain is going to slow as I get older. Are you experiencing symptoms of cognitive decline or is it time to look at your environment?
5. Every time we use a mind-altering substance, we're also altering our brain
6. Joy is a huge part of a mindful and happy brain
7. We can actually change our brains - we can turn them around after injuries and damage

10in10 Scott J Spears: The Resilience Roadmap

Scott has traveled the world for the past 30 years, living in 52 countries, serving in 2 combat tours including the delivery of regional and global projects as a global consultant.
Being a past victim of burnout to the point where he actually died, his journey to recovery helped him develop a personalized growth roadmap entitled TIME | LIFE | SELF which is derived from his life’s lessons learned.
Additionally, Scott offers Leadership Transformation services helping executives and managers recognize their organization’s performance thresholds and how to counter polluted circumstances while reducing stress and burnout.
In Scott's words: 
Little did I realize how many directions one’s life could go. As a child, I dreamed of exploring the world over. Serving in 2 combat tours at 18 years old forced me to grow up quicker than others. Experiencing death gave me a different outlook on the value of life.
Promising myself to live my life to the fullest, I sought a life that would keep me moving, learning. Working unthinkable projects in harsh conditions, until I couldn’t. Leading to my death. Why this and the ensuing depression happened is how I created my TIME | LIFE | SELF program.
