Join the conversation as Josh Cary and I talk about accepting fear (and yourself) - no more hiding!

Josh Cary spent 40 years in hiding! That’s right. He was hiding every aspect of himself and showing up with a ‘mask’ on in all areas of life trying to gain the approval of everyone else. At 19, he changed his name and entered into, what would become, a 15-year career as a professional actor and filmmaker. The applause and external accolades didn’t completely heal his feelings of anxiety
and insecurities and he found himself more isolated than ever. Today, Josh Cary is a podcast host and business coach to entrepreneurs who are ready, willing, and able to say “F That NOISE!”
“F That NOISE” in their head that’s been acting as the comfortable excuse for remaining where they are.
As a digital media and creative consultant, Josh has the uncanny ability to bring the human side out of each person. Whether it’s as a guest on his show or working directly together, you quickly feel consumed by his unique natural energy, bright outlook and creative mind. He is also a proud father and credits his adoring two young children with helping him to turn things around and embrace the mortality of life. Josh helps his clients ‘unmask’ themselves by leading them through
poignant, important, and direct questions. This approach results in a profound and honest experience that reveals aspects, desires, and philosophies within you that have been dormant for years. On his podcast, The Hidden Entrepreneur, Josh speaks with successful entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners who were also once in the darkest of hiding places so you may rediscover your world, connect beautifully with others, and excel in all you set out to do. The podcast has been downloaded in 18 countries.

Truly an amazing woman, Angela Andrews devotes her time to increasing awareness of autism and neurodiversity. Join the conversation as I talk with Angela about being a person with autism and raising 5 children with autism.

Angela Andrews has worked with Johnson & Johnson for a total of 4 years. During her time here, she has worked as a Complaints Analyst in Medical Devices, a Business Data & Integration Owner Analyst and a QS&S Quality Analyst in Supply Chain, and most recently works as the Data Improvement Manager for Janssen Quality Analytics.
In November of 2016, Angela formed the group “Autism and Neurodiversity” under the Alliance for Diverse Abilities (ADA) employee resource group. The group focuses on promoting equal treatment and employment of those who are on the Autism spectrum and encouraging others to focus on the positive aspects of Autism as well as the benefits of neurodiversity.
Angela holds a BA in Psychology and Philosophy from Saint Mary’s College at Notre Dame. She holds an MS degree in Data Analysis from Southern New Hampshire University. She holds certificates in counseling, at-risk youth coaching, and child abuse investigation.
She is an active member in multiple Autism and mental health groups for adults as well as supporting activities at her children’s schools related to decreasing the stigma of mental illness and increasing awareness of the positive results of embracing neurodiversity. She recently presented a Tedx JNJ talk entitled “You Are Your Brain” (June 2018). In her talk, she opens up about growing up with Autism and provides information regarding Neurodiversity, acceptance, being your authentic self, and ways others can support those with Autism at work and in the community.
Angela loves working with data and music, as she sees the patterns and beauty in both. She is very active in the lives of her five children aged 15 through 22, all of whom have Autism. She works to inspire others to accept themselves as they are as well as to accept others, regardless of their differences. She is currently authoring a book about her experiences growing up with Autism and raising children on the spectrum.
She chose to become an outspoken advocate on Autism and acceptance due to her personal experiences with Autism and mental illness. She grew up in an environment where differences were shamed and she was rejected for her Autism and depression. Although she focuses primarily on the positives, she continues to struggle with sensory problems and depressive episodes. She hopes by sharing her personal experiences, she can help inspire people to always be their authentic selves.

Join the conversation as Kyle Grappone and I talk about inspiring students and young adults to discover their passion - by focusing on "what type of person you want to become".

Kyle Grappone is the founder of To The Next Step, an educational services company that
prepares students for the next steps in their lives, including college and entering the workforce
and the real world that awaits them. His organization accomplishes these goals through an
array of services including motivational speaking keynotes, group workshops, self-help books,
student success coaching, on-demand courses, live online classes, and various free resources.
Kyle founded this organization after working and living in the aforementioned “real world” for
nearly ten years. A few years after graduating he began to notice that the majority of his
co-workers seemed to dislike their jobs and worse, were dissatisfied with the type of person they
had become and the life they were living. He began to dig deeper and discovered that one of
the main reasons for the issue was because these graduates were not prepared for what was
coming after high school and college. They did not take the time to research and prepare for
their futures. Instead, they adopted a “figure it out later” attitude, and when later arrived, they
were thrown into a world they knew nothing about, forced to take a job they did not want and
ended up living a life they never intended on living.
The main message and purpose of To The Next Step is to help students understand the
importance of preparing for the futures. To inspire them to think differently about their education
and answer the question, “What type of person do you want to become?”. This change in mindset combined with the various services offered, Kyle is confident that students will move into the next phase of their life with a clear picture of where they are going, who they want to become, and what type of impact they want to have on their community and the world around them.

Join the conversation as Jazz, Kristin Sunanta Walker and I discuss consciousness, chanelling, and what it means to truly come to know yourself.

When I was five years old, I sat on the sofa watching the entire family talk and celebrate Christmas. I knew then that I didn’t move or speak the way they did. There was always more happening beneath the surface than they talked about. Growing up I sensed the invisible: deep, wild feelings and spirits. I was told my birth mother might not want to meet me. I knew she did, so I continued to search for her. If I had listened to what they told me,

My Mom - I would have lost her entirely — she was diagnosed the day after we met, and died six weeks later. The more I trusted myself the more the world revealed itself to me. In 2002, after arriving early to class, I heard a man’s voice over my shoulder telling me to write. I turned to find no one in the empty room. I retraced my steps — no one was anywhere. But I trusted the voice, and listened. Five years later I was a ghost writer for Simon and Schuster. My life has been one unfolding after another.
I’m able to sense things other people can’t. I can read energy, receive audible instruction, and know things that are impossible to know through normal human senses. It’s a gift, one that each of us has in one form or another. I’ve simply spent a lifetime seeking to understand and interact with what has always guided me.
It isn’t easy learning to trust oneself, especially when we’re trained from childhood to trust others authority over our own. But if you’re ready go on the adventure of truly getting to know yourself, and you’re truly sick of giving your power away, I can teach you how to discover and master your inner truth and abilities. Trust me — there is more to you and to this life. More than you’ve been taught.

Healthy eating and positive body image can be sooo challenging. Join the conversation as I talk with Dr. Glenn Livingston about food, healthy living, and changing your patterns.

Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. You may have seen his (or his company's) previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, or the American Demographics.

Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
