In Isabel's words:
I’m a Cuban/American and I have been a medical doctor since 1991. The only reason I went into the medical field was because I wanted to help people. I wanted to get to the root of the dis-ease, not just throw a Band-Aid on it. My patients weren't getting any better, they were just existing. My goal is to see people healed.
In 2000, my husband, and our two young daughters moved to New Zealand to see what it’s like to experience a different culture of the world. Yes, we had never been there, or even knew where it was. What a crazy, and life- changing decision for our family!
After the first 20 years of being a medical doctor, in the last 10 years I have been studying Functional Medicine, which focuses on the root cause of disease and its treatments.
My husband, Culinary Nutrition Expert, Chef Michael, and I created the brand of Doctoronamission, where we prevent and reverse disease and give hope. Our expertise is in Alzheimers, Dementa, Cognitive Decline, Anxiety, Depression, and Diabetes. We have been doing Tele-Medicine for the past 7 Years with our online business of Doctoronamission.com where we offer online courses and 1x1 coaching.
And so here we are together. Let's start walking together, and I'll share with you what worked for me and can also work for you. I want to give you hope.

180 Ed Squire - #METOO, WHAT NOW? Your recovery begins with your story
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
For over 20 years, Ed was a senior business consultant for Fortune 500 and global companies throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Ed is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and in 2018, he started a nonprofit called 'MeToo, WhatNow.’ He is driven to help survivors of any kind of childhood abuse and trauma rebuild their lives.
In 2016, he filed a public lawsuit against one of his abusers. He's currently producing a documentary about the experience.
His central platform is YouTube, where he creates videos to connect with other survivors and build community.
In Ed's words:
"The most powerful step in a survivor's journey is connecting with other survivors and sharing their stories.
When this happens, it makes a significant difference in many areas of their lives, including their ability to help other survivors. We need a paradigm shift in how we are taught to treat ourselves and others as we go through this process.
Most survivors I've spoken with over the years tell me how much it meant to them. In some cases, it even saved their lives by talking to another survivor who understands. The big question is, "When is the right time?"
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Learn how to ‘Locate yourself.’ I.e. self-actualization and awareness.
2. “You’re not alone” sounds nice, but find a community where you’re safe, accepted, and you can thrive.
3. In life, you get to be whatever you want to be. Don’t let your past define you. Look at yourself in the mirror for who you used to be and learn how to define who you want to become.

179 Theresa Gonzalez - A Mother's Journey through Grief and Loss
Saturday Aug 21, 2021
Saturday Aug 21, 2021
Theresa is the author of Silent Moms: Healing Our Wounded Souls - a mother's journey through grief and loss. Her journey reveals to us the pain and burden of secrets and unresolved grief. Pregnant at 18, she left her family and small town to live amongst strangers in a maternity home. Months later, she gave birth, relinquished her son, and departed alone, hoping to begin a new life. Instead, she found herself derailed by emotions she could not face and by losses that continued to accumulate. The lack of tools and knowledge needed to address her grief left her ill prepared which led to more destructive behaviours and emotions that lasted for years. This has been the driving force behind Theresa's book - wanting to help others struggling with their adoption experience, whether it was 3 years ago or 30. Her book is a guide for anyone struggling with a loss—someone who feels stuck but desires a better path for their lives. You will find: the courage to acknowledge and accept your situation; a willingness to define, address, and truly feel all of your emotions; the work needed for forgiveness; the strength to discover who you really are (without the baggage); and the determination to see the process through to find peace.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Most important is self-care as you go through your healing journey. It will be an emotional roller coaster, knowing what to do on the tough days.
2. Tools to support you through your journey (mementos, journaling, sharing, connecting)
3. Grief is not linear; it is a process. Grief is not something you get over. It’s learning to address at different stages in our lives, as it may come up time and again.

Irish-born entrepreneur, Lauren Burnison has created the UKs very first alcohol-free travel company, We Love Lucid. Lauren talks about her own alcohol-free journey, what inspired her to create her booze-free trips and what you can expect when you join a We Love Lucid holiday.
Originally from Northern Ireland, Lauren has travelled and lived all over the world on a self-confessed “international rampage of self-destruction”. While living and working in South Korea in 2018, she finally decided to take control of her life by quitting booze once and for all. As she travelled back to the UK on a tour of Asia and Europe, she was inspired to create an alcohol-free travel company. Her trips are aimed at solo travellers in their 30s and 40s both sober and sober curious who are looking to connect with like-minded people and push themselves to try new and invigorating experiences.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Get out and connect in person with other AF people
2. Don’t be afraid to try new things in sobriety - you are relearning what you like
3. Be patient, quitting booze is just the first step in the journey towards an amazing life
