204 Alyssa Stout - Trauma Made Me Do It - The Impact of Trauma on Mind, Body & Soul
Thursday Oct 21, 2021
Thursday Oct 21, 2021
Trauma Made me do it. Believe it or not we all experience some sort of trauma throughout our lifetime. Some of us, like me, may have already experienced it and some of us have not yet. Regardless of what or when, our belief system, reactions, and behaviors are all direct results of these experiences. It’s time to take life back into our own hands by rewiring our brain away from trauma, limiting beliefs, and the standards / stigmas from today's society and moving toward a more aligned lifestyle. One that's validated from our own stories, our own standards, and our own experiences.
It wasn’t until about six months to a year after my trauma that I finally regained consciousness of what my life had come to. Looking into my life I had completely hit rock bottom; addicted to alcohol, drugs, toxicity, and a total adrenaline junkie. I had completely lost control over both my mind and body. Realizing that I was in the midst of rock bottom, I knew that I had to make a change. Allowing myself to finally be vulnerable with myself I learned the beauty behind my mental Illnesses, the power behind my story, the _____ in my truth, and the potential in rock bottom.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. There is no hierarchy of trauma; no trauma is bigger, more impactful, more traumatizing, or worse than another and is not bound by guidelines.
2. Your behaviors, reactions and beliefs are based on your own experiences; So stop seeking validation from others
3. You can not heal what you are not ready to face; stop silencing your truth for the sake of other comfort.

203 TH Irwin & Jessica Klingbaum - Talking Divorce with the Ex-Experts
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Divorce, life, kids and growing into yourself. Divorce sucks, but it’s also an opportunity for a new start, fresh perspective and happiness. In Jessica's and TH's words:
"We’ve lived it, so we get it! My divorce took four long years to complete. Looking inward and moving forward was (and still is!) my mantra and I hope to empower others to do the same.”— T.H. Irwin, exEXPERTS founder
http://finance.dailyherald.com/dailyherald/news/read/40977130/exEXPERTS:
T.H., a former experiential marketing executive for USA Today and Jessica, an Emmy-nominated television producer for programs like “The Early Show” on CBS and “The Nate Berkus Show,” know how to emotionally connect with an audience.
“We have stoooories!” dishes Jessica. “Some are funny, others a bit more serious. Regardless, we keep it real, raw and authentically us 100% of the time.”
Stories that begin with a shocking phone call (within a week of each other) twelve years ago. Jessica was an in-demand TV news producer with two toddlers at home when she found out her husband was cheating - had been for years - throughout her entire pregnancy. T.H. learned of her ex’s secret double life while on the school pick up line.
The mission is to provide women with unbiased information and free support. exEXPERTS encompasses a podcast series with episodes like “What Your Divorce Attorney Doesn’t Want You to Know” and “Fresh Start, Clean Up and Clean Out,” a dedicated website and “What I Wish I Knew” newsletter that offer access to vetted professionals and real life experts— no bull, no hidden fees.
Together, Jessica and T.H. have inside access to hundreds of top-tier professionals and relevant resources they have called upon to offer up free information and answer the hard questions, including “What happens to my health insurance when I get a divorce?” and “What credit score do I need to buy a house or rent an apartment?”
This curated group of experts range from internationally recognized love coach and best-selling author Susan Winter to Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and former FOX Business Network TV anchor Tracy Byrnes, professional organizers NeatFreaks Home and more. They will cover popular divorce topics from kids to wellness in the following categories: myDIVORCE, myWALLET, mySELF, myFAMILY, and mySTUFF.

3 top tips for my audience:
1. Give yourself grace and compassion, change can be gradual.

3. Lean on your support networks to help find the help and professional resources you need. Reaching out over and over to find supports on your own can be hard.

198 Cathy Jean Francois - How to Combat Depression without Medication
Thursday Oct 07, 2021
Thursday Oct 07, 2021
Cathy, a self-proclaimed “recovering depressive”, is working on creating a new blogging platform where she will discuss ideas, quotes and popular expressions that have resonated with her and that have helped her to keep a positive perspective on life despite depression. It’s all about her desire to keep a positive mindset to achieve her own form of happiness, which may help many depressives who struggle alone.
Cathy Jean-François is a high school and middle school English teacher in NYC, but her first love and passion is writing. From December 2014 to September 2019 she created and maintained a blog called "The True Confessions of a Reluctant Bachelorette" (www.thereluctantbachelorette.com) where she discussed the hilarity and sometimes heartbreak of being a single woman of a certain age. She then went on to launch her second blog in November 2019 after she married, calling it "Tighed the Knot: A Newlywed's Thoughts on Navigating the Married Life" (www.tighedtheknot.com). There, she shared some compelling stories of being a newlywed.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Create! When you’re feeling down, do something that you love and that can draw you completely into your happy place.
2. Laugh! Watch or listen to something that makes you laugh and laugh. Or watch an action movie that pulls you into the excitement!
3. Talk! Try to find someone you trust that you can talk to. It might be a friend, a sibling, a relative or even a therapist.

40 Thieves on Saipan is the thrilling, untold WWII story of an elite platoon of Marines: the Sixth Marine Regiment’s Scout-Snipers—nicknamed the “Forty Thieves” by their peers. The platoon’s unique skills in stealth, deadly hand-to-hand combat, and reconnaissance behind enemy lines helped gain a critical victory in the Pacific theatre. Written by the son of their leader, Lieutenant “Ski”, this inspiring narrative was composed from years of research and face-to-face interviews with the surviving Thieves.
Joseph Tachovsky is the author of 40 Thieves on Saipan and the son of the platoon’s leader. Graduating with degrees in English Literature, Theater and Art History made him perfectly qualified for a life in the hospitality trade. Based in Minneapolis, his restaurant creations have earned reviews and mentions in Food and Wine, Bon Appetit, Esquire, The Rolling Stone, The New York Times and Jim Harrison’s The Raw and The Cooked.
