Emerge. Evolve. Lead.

Stephan Neff is a doctor of anesthesiology, bestselling author of the book My Steps to Sobriety and hosts a podcast of the same name and has been in recovery since March 2013. Stephan is from Germany but now lives with his family in New Zealand.

After studying medicine in Heidelberg, Dr Neff travelled and worked in Europe and Australia before settling down with his family in beautiful New Zealand. As a retired pain physician, he developed a specific insight into human psychology. As a man trying to drown his sorrows, he found out the hard way that the critters can swim. 

Now he makes every day a little bit better than the last. Today Stephan is an expert in living a life so fantastic, that alcohol has simply no role to play. He shares this passion through his podcast and YouTube channel STEPS TO SOBRIETY - INTO THE LIGHT. In his book "Steps to Sobriety" he shares the lessons he has learned as a doctor and as a man. And the truth is simple - The past does not equal the future. Every addict can turn their life around, one little decision at a time.

My guest today is Ann Hince. She grew up with an alcoholic mom and experienced a trauma that no one should have to go through. But eventually, it lead to great healing within her that changed her life in every way. Ann is here to share her story of transformation, hope and healing. 

From Inner Turmoil to Inner Peace. Ann started with little to no self-awareness (as an adult child of alcoholics) and now can put her awareness inside her body, and this technique has actually shifted the physical bone structure of her skull and she has grown 1/2 an inch as a 55 year old.

When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions. She went further still by putting her awareness inside her body and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.

My guest this week is Sarah Laurel, Born and raised in Philadelphia she founded a non profit organization called the Savage Sisters. Sarah got clean and sober and then she got to work and in just 4 short years has advocated for and helped many addicts, and Savage Sisters offer 5 sober living facilities for women. 

Since getting sober, Sarah has been reconnected with her two children, gotten married, opened five additional sober living facilities, and advocated for individuals in recovery statewide. She has also buried a partner, lost two best friends, and a cousin to overdoses and have been in trauma therapy to recover. She has positive hope for the future knowing the best is yet to come.

When Sarah was thrown out a window, her hip and leg were broken and she was cut out of a dress she was wearing that had the word “Savage” printed on it. She looked up that word while in the hospital and the definition was “ferocious” and she decided to be ferocious in chasing sobriety in equal measure to how she chased her drugs and the Savage Sisters name was born.  

Savage Sisters are looking for donations and you can give here:

My guest on the podcast today is Perry Gaidurgis and he’s been sober for a lifetime. He’s accomplished so much in his 43 years of sobriety and is a film producer of Shattering the Silence of this epidemic we call substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues in dealing with life. And today we’re going to talk about the reducing the stigma and the recovery process of families. 

Perry Gaidurgis (oldest of eight children) was released in 1979 from the Southern Maryland Correctional Camp after serving three years of an eight year sentence for an eight dollar armed robbery. As a heavily tattooed 21 years old returning citizen he quickly began speaking in southern Maryland high schools about his family addiction & mental health recovery process and life behind bars. While incarcerated he re-started his education with self-study and earned his GED in the Prince Georges County Detention Center. Perry later attended and later taught classes, workshops and peer groups at the Charles County Community College and the Maryland Office of Education and Training for Addiction Services. He’s been clean and sober ever since and has a long list of accomplishments in recovery.

For over 40 years his story and writings, photography, film projects and interviews have appeared in newspapers, television programs, recovery books, articles, festivals, workshops, readings and blogs.

Here are a few links we mentioned in the podcast and ways to reach/follow Perry:

I believe that we all have a purpose in the world to reach our highest potential. As I coach and train leaders to get to that next level of personal and professional development, no one would disagree that the best way to do that is to fully and effectively use our brain and our mental capacity.

However few people can name and properly explain what their metal faculties are, so I created a solo podcast episode to explain them too you.

There are six of them and they are:

·       Imagination

·       Intuition

·       Reason

·       Perception

·       Memory

·       Will

It’s not surprising that so few people understand how to use their brains properly. I learned this from Bob Proctor, a highly successful entrepreneur.

When I went to college and began to understand how people learn a lot of it has to do with these higher brain functions. I also realized in my recovery that my mind is one of the most powerful resources and hindrances that I have, depending on how I use it. Now I teach others to use it too.

No matter what stage of recovery you are in, it will help you perhaps to change your perception about how powerful your brain and you, are.

We must learn to use all of the higher levels of thinking in the mind so that we can make the most of this one precious life that we have. 

As Bob Proctor says: “To achieve your goals and dreams and create the life you want, you must stop focusing on external facts—things you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell—even if you consider them to be “good.”

That is thinking from the outside in and, at best, it limits you to what you’ve achieved in the past. At worst, it sabotages any chance you have at achieving your dreams.

Instead, you’ve got to start thinking from the inside out. Thinking from the inside out is using your mental faculties, starting with imagining what you want and then using your will to keep your attention there.

It’s listening to and acting on your intuition, the small inner voice and seeing the good in everything.

And it’s creating future memories and continually seeing and feeling like the person you want to be.

Each time you do those things, you plant your desire in the garden of your subconscious mind. With increasing repetitions, the image becomes fixed there.

And then, by law, it’s only a matter of time before it moves into form.”

We are co-creators in this amazing world and now that we’re in recovery, the skies the limit on what we can create.

If you want help in meeting your goals with a coach this year, please get on my calendar to talk about it and see if we should work together. You can do that online by going to: maureenrg.youcanbook.me and pick a time that works for you.

Happy New Year to each and every one of you!
