Deputy Andy Lahera was serving at a Graduation doing traffic control when his life changed in the blink of an eye.  Deputy Lahera was involved in an accident that left him with a TBI.  What the family didn’t know at the time was that Deputy Lahera and their family would be let down by someone who should have been there every step of the way.

Deputy Lahera stated working for the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office in 2009.  He started as a patrol office then worked his way up to a property crimes detective.  He also earned a position on the hostage negotiation team during this time.  After Parkland happened, he came home and told his family that he was going to become a School Resource Officer (SRO) because he said what happened at Parkland will never happen in our county under his watch.  He made them understand that there may be a day that he wouldn’t come home if something happened at school.  He started as an SRO at Central ridge Elementary and later moved on to Lecanto Middle School.

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED.

Roman Roberts grew up in foster homes which were, as he calls it, “less than ideal” encountering various types of abuse causing him to join the military to find family, and led him on a journey as an interrogator, deploying multiple times and supporting various special operation teams. But the trauma from foster care and the military took its toll as he transitioned and led to him almost committing suicide and almost losing his marriage. He began a journey to face the traumas and through faith, journaling, and Real Talk with himself and others, he found healing and is now encouraging others to do the same.

In this episode we discuss all sorts of things that could act as triggers for you or your children.  Listener discretion is advised.

Marie is a Life Coach, Registered Therapist, and Clinical Hypnotherapist for Women who feel stuck, lost, and anxious, who are at a crossroads in their life, and want to rediscover who they are and reignite their purpose and passion but don’t know where to start.

She's been around the block a few times; having worked in high powered demanding corporate positions, endured a long term toxic relationship, culminating in an extremely acrimonious divorce.

She's the mother of a special needs disabled son and have walked paths that have caused me stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, overwhelm and which obliterated my self-confidence and self-esteem.

I combine all these skills with my own personal experiences and I’m committed to empowering others to quickly and permanently take control of their lives and live it to the full with invincible self-confidence, freedom, and fun without overwhelm, limitation or being shackled to their past negative experiences, emotions, and beliefs.

Levin walked away from an opportunity to run a billion dollar business, to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. He studied in a seminary five years and left one day before becoming a Rabbi and he has lived as a Monk in a monastery for 10 years. As Director of Business Development, he grew Hay House from $3,000,000 a year in sales to $100,000,000 a year in revenue. 

Levin is rare blend of businessman and mystic who sees what others do not see. It has been this one quality more than any other that has thrown him into some of the most exclusive boardrooms to help companies innovate new ways of finding solutions when the old ways stop working.

He is the author of The Mosaic, a life changing fable that invites people to listen to those others do not hear and to see the situations in their life differently. To learn more about Daniel Levin, please go to:  www.DanielBruceLevin.com.  Also check out his other website http://www.themosaiconline.com/

Today we are going to talk about what Daniel' learned from having a developmentally delayed daughter.
