Becoming Parents Podcast

Kellye and I discuss navigating parenting, divorce, and having a business. Pregnant right out of high school, Kellye remained in a dysfunctional marriage because she didn't know any different. Until she did. Her story is remarkable and she openly discusses being with a narcissist, raising powerful women and how she moved on. Kellye has a business in IT and she is fantastic!

From her website:

Kellye Dash is a technology solutions professional who began her IT career working for Nextel Communications in 1999. Having worked in several customer-facing technical services roles, she is an experienced professional with various positions as a Technical Service Manager, Service Delivery Manager, Relationship Manager and Technical Account Manager.

Jo tells me about her first job in Paris, France and how much she loved it, how passionate she is about fashion, having a nanny growing up in Toronto, how to get past being suicidal, and her new and amazing clothing line. When returning from Paris, Jo was disabled for 3 years with a serious back disability. (lost feeling in her leg for a while and still have a 'dead spot') In that time she was in chronic pain in bed for 3 years and had 2 surgeries and a number of treatments to help with pain management. That period was her hermetic period...a time of great contemplation and it was also the first-ever so slight spiritual experience that had me reexamining consciousness and beingness. She was very depressed but sought a way through to try and find happiness even if it meant being forever disabled and in pain, which is what she was largely told to expect from doctors. She started writing steamy romances because that was all she could read while in pain to avoid nightmares. And I was laughing so hard I eventually healed just from that...and some great physio!

I adored this interview! From married and desperate to get from Washington State to living on Long Island, NY with her son to start a new life, she started writing, vlogging, and teaching her way through grief, pain, the isolation of single motherhood, and every other bag that wants to pack itself on the trip from married to divorced. Once she was given permission to leave (that's a WHOLE drama), I made a beeline for the furthest possible point I could get to without leaving the continental USA. Now, she works (hard) helping women navigate the bullshit myths about divorce and life after that keep them playing small, being scared, being broke, and settling for a new story that is worse than the one they left behind.

IN HER WORDS:

Maria was so great about discussing mind, body, spirit, that it takes 40 days to stop a habit, how she takes 9 minutes, 3 times a day to manifest and her trauma-induced illness. She is in the infant stages of creating non-profit rescuing victims of being sex-trafficked. After struggling with symptoms for several years, she was near death, broke but not broken and discovered she had Hashimoto's Disease. Now, she is living her most amazing, thriving life. Beautiful inside and out, I thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

In her words:

As an inspirational and motivational leader and speaker, I inspire my clients to achieve their greatest potential in life by challenging the paradigms that hold them back. I realign in them with the mind, body and spirit using alternative & holistic natural practices.

I have a vision that we can live in a world free of all dis-ease. I envision that when we feel better physically, we will be kinder to ourselves and kinder to one another and when we are kinder there is more peace in the world. The world needs peace. And laughter, the world needs more laughter.

I had so much fun with Lisa! We discussed not feeling good enough as a child, although she tried to be more "perfect". Later in life, that feeling rose it's head again when she had the first lawsuit against her, and more so with the second lawsuit of 100 million dollars that involved 11 people on her team she cared about like family. Lisa lost friends, felt alone and pushed everyone away. Her husband got her through it, pointing out her fear and depression. In time, with help, she is stronger than ever, grateful and now recognizes the same struggle in others.

Carrie and I discuss having a child with autism, being raised in a family with older kids, a mom from Denmark and the devastating diagnosis of her husband.

http://yayapodcasting.com

In her words:

I'm a mom to an autism kiddo (now 18) and my husband who received a devastating diagnosis in 2010 that required the removal of part of his skill, dead brain tissue and part of the cervical spine. This meant we went from being comfortable financially to dirt poor. My hubby now suffers from chronic pain and cognitive issues. I had to step up, so I began picking up gigs teaching scrapbook page design and started a memory keeping podcast that paid for itself and helped me establish my authority in the niche.
