Most people are not satisfied with their minds. Most believe their minds work against them rather than for them.
There was a time they had dreams, but most fell flat due to lack of energy, clarity and focus, persistence and lack of time, among other things.
Many feel entrapped in their minds, feeling like they can only live a fraction of the life they know they could have if only their MINDS WERE FREE AND ON FIRE!
Join this podcast with Rina Lang, a Mind and Brain Power coach and learn tools and techniques she used to UNLEASH HER MIND’S GREATER POTENTIAL.

She is the creator of the “Mind and Brain Supercharge” program designed specifically to help Leaders, Business Owners and Intellectual Thinkers easily upgrade their minds and brains to cope with 21st-century demands and challenges.

Anna is a 9-year breast cancer survivor who resides in Chicago, IL with her two children. Because of the side effects of cancer treatment, she developed a form of sexual dysfunction. She is the founder of a unique dating app that takes sexual expectations out of relationships. She created Entwine to have a comfortable place for single individuals struggling with sexual dysfunction to find companionship without the fear of being embarrassed or rejected because of their limitations.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Always seek a second opinion.
2. If you have a form of sexual dysfunction, you don’t have to “fix it” for anyone. Seek treatment for yourself. Don’t do it for someone else.
3. You deserve to be loved regardless of your sexual limitations.

Aaron Solly, the founder of Engage Coaching Group, is a banker turned coach, author, educator, father of two amazing boys, and husband.
At 37 years old, he was overwhelmed and in a deep depression in the basement of his home. He was working in the financial services industry feeling stressed out and not happy with his career. His first marriage was failing. His first son was 2 years old. His world felt like it was falling apart all around him. On that day, he decided to shift his perspective from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this for?”
The famous psychologist Carl Jung stated
“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
When life struggles happen such as the fear of losing your job, a marriage breakdown or being in the dark cloud of depression, the answer is not from an outside source.
The answer comes from going within yourself and connecting to your values, your purpose and all the feelings that are part of who you are.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Feel your feelings.
2. Journaling is a proven tool to improve anxiety, lower levels of depression and increase positive mood.
3. Ask for help when you are struggling.
