Let's Welcome Joan Barry to The Podcast!

We talk about the devastation of Human Trafficking and its the effect on exploitation of women has society as a whole.

2.5 million people per year 

:(

ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL DEFINITION, HUMAN TRAFFICKING MEANS: “THE RECRUITMENT, TRANSPORTATION, TRANSFER, HARBOURING OR PURCHASE OF PERSONS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF EXPLOITATION.”

Typically, human beings are being disposed of, as if they were goods or objects which can be bought or sold irrationally. Trafficking exploits human beings for income, whether through sex, forced labor, or human organs.

Traffickers take advantage of poverty, lack of prospects, and hope for a better future, by tricking and luring their victims into other countries.

Whether they emigrate legally or illegally, they then go with false promises of work or prospective marriages. 

Upon their arrival, the victims are coerced into dependence through debt bondage, violence or drugs, therefore becoming “exploited” goods. 

They are deprived of their personal rights, freedom of speech, independence and self-respect.

People who are looking for:

• Love 

• Acceptance 

• A better future 

• Security 

• Money and opportunity 

Those who are most vulnerable 

• Poverty 

• Deceitful advertisements

• Agreements with trusted family members or friends 

• False lovers (loverboys) ….take time to interview them/grooming 

• Kidnapping ..force is involved

Rebuilding the self before we venture into any new relationship 

Loss of the familiar 

Loss of the comfortable 

Getting in touch with the self 

Slowing down

Sitting in silence 

Step ONE- accepting the grief as being an essential part of the process 

allowing ourselves to "feel" the feelings of grief in order to assimilate and process them 

Consider a few simple tasks at hand 

AND recall 

It doesn’t happen overnight

One drawer at a time

One shelf at a time 

One minute at a time 

Reclaiming who we are 

Building relationships with people who lift us up 

AND 

Love us unconditionally 

Find the beauty in life 

Compliment others 

Read… self-help books/“shelf help” books 

Journal

Connecting to God or Universal Power

Join a support group 

Find other women going through a similar transition 

Practice Extreme Self Care 

Important here to remind ourselves and everyone that LIFE change in all areas is difficult 

When we are faced with a change of any kind is a loss 

Illness 

Job loss 

Death

Move

Pregnancy loss 

Divorce 

All require a shift in thinking and action.

After we get done with the finger-pointing and blame…

Its all their fault…it’s all my fault 

Mercury is retrograde 

Making excuses 

If I only took better care of myself 

I should have known better 

What the hell was I thinking 

Go through an array of emotions 

Need to create a self-care plan 

Have to do the work

Transformation and change is only possible if you can let go…do the work…heal, rebirth and rebuild.

The only way to get through the pain is to feel it first. 

One has to embrace it and walk through the fire

Examine what, if anything is currently working and serving us 

And not until that time and healing has occurred 

When to consider making changes

When you are safe

When you are strong

When you are healing 

When you are free to do so 

When the "old you" is ready for a "new you"

When you can handle the game and possible rejection 

When you are ready to play again 

What needs to change?

First, ask yourself and write down your answers 

If the hint of an answer is YES…

Next, ask yourself 3 questions and write down your answers 

Finding ourself and healing after the loss of any kind is not a quick fix but a beautiful journey into a new unimaginable life 

It’s a long careful detailed approach to deciding our next best step…

My journey into healing started by cleaning up my diet…

Paulette jokes that she lived on Snickers bars and Diet Coke…but It’s true..

Her idea of a healthy meal was a greek salad from a pizza joint 

I had to clean up my diet 

I had to clean up my buying habits

I had to clean up my relationships 

I had to clean up my wor

Sit back and enjoy this candid and uplifting interview with one of the most inspiring and knowledgable women promoting eco-friendly, sustainable and gorgeous jewelry, soaps, candles and handcrafted artistry. She shares with us how Island Organics and KiCo Jewelry was created.

 The Divorce Deluge: Is anyone happily married anymore?

Let’s love our gentleman. We don’t want to neglect them. 

There are good ones and highly evolved ones. 

When we learn to keep our heart open and continue to try in our personal love, we reap amazing benefits. 

Check out our new episode where we dive deep into these topics! You can find me and @healthygirlholisticlifestyle on the podcast every Wednesday at 8am CST! The link is in my bio!

I mean come on...

What are the current statistics of Divorce?

50% for the first marriage...

67% for the second, 

and 73% third...

YIKES! They aren’t good!!

We must discern that our partner is a good mate and then work to make it a success. 

We have a pretty hard-wired belief system engrained in us as children….

At 23, I felt intense pressure to get married and fit in. 

I felt like I had to do what was expected of me...

-Dressed up as a bride

-Dreamt about the wedding  

-My Goal was to find a husband, first and foremost

NOT….

The right person, the right time, the right connection.

THEN the midlife crisis really is a crying out for wanting to feel alive again. 

You can’t fight for something that doesn’t exist.

If something is harming our spirit, we must let it go.

Why are Millennials not marrying?

FEAR.

Their spiritual standpoint.

Don’t need a piece of paper.

Freedom.

They are there because they choose to be there not because they have to. 

They have seen their parents struggle: lie, cheat, and disrespect each other. 

The staying together for the children epidemic (ages 30-50)

Because it is only a piece of paper.

Getting a divorce was the best decision I ever made …

Marrying the wrong person doesn’t make them a bad person.

We all deserve to be happy.

We are taught we are sinners if we leave so we stay.

What does a happy marriage look like? 

Marriage is not an obligation but a genuine connection. 

Your partner makes you the best version of you you can be. 

They bring out the best in you and you do the same for them.
