Addiction can take you down one of two roads.  For former teacher Daniel Patterson, he was one of the lucky ones to find the road to recovery.  After taking his last drink on January 1, 2015 he made a promise to be better, for himself and others. Now over eight years sober, Daniel is on a mission to create a SoberTunity, an empowering community to connect, create and curate a life beyond booze. But still leave room to have uncomfortable conversations and “land the plane”. During the conversation:

• Daniel opens up about his own recovery journey and how he faced a lot of resistance until he got the right support.
• He talks about the importance of having humor in the healing…the “traumady” that’s necessary to connect.
• Daniel also gets real about his own suicide attempt and what it means to him to finally share his story.
• Plus, the importance of normalizing mental health in an effort to empower the next generation.

One day you’re a teacher doing humanitarian work in a foreign country. The next, you are in the middle of the Somali desert taken hostage and wondering if that day will be your last. ⁣

That’s what happened to Jessica Buchanan. She spent 93 days surviving in deplorable conditions. With her health deteriorating and questioning the moment she went against her gut, somehow the only woman taken hostage lived while others did not.  ⁣

⁣

With the help of the Navy's SEAL Team Six, her dramatic rescue has been a game changer in her life. Now, a New York Times best-selling author who was named by Newsweek as one of the 150 most fearless women who shake the world, she’s building community, slaying advocacy and helping others heal. ⁣

I'm not a mom.  And at 50, the chances are slim to none that I ever will be. At least, with science on my side. While I thought I found my peace with this some years ago, recently, something stirred the pot and it's why you're listening to this today. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, I get personal with you about my why and choice to be childless. The hope for this episode is to create connection and open up the conversation with others like me who want to share their voice and their why on the show.  Not having children can be influenced by a variety of factors...some positive and some negative.  After listening to my story, I hope you'll find this space to be a trusted container to share your's as well. Are you ready to press record too? Do you know someone who is?  If so, go to https://www.speakpipe.com/HilisticallySpeaking and share.  Then your voices will be amplified on an upcoming episode in part two.  If you are struggling with this and need further support, book a complimentary session with me to learn how to turn your traumas into triumphs. I'll share more about my HUG it Out approach and how Havening can help you heal. Book your free session here: https://hilaryrusso.as.me/hugitout

What if this or something better is on the way? Imagine that thought instead of trying to plan everything in your life. In other words, what if you chose to let go? Surrender and release your plans to the care of The Universe? For most, the ego would step in and fight you on that. But for transformational teacher and motivational speaker, Kute Blackson, choosing the Magic of Surrender was a game changer. But it didn’t happen overnight. A son of a minister, Kute’s path was predestined. But it didn’t match what he wanted to his life to be. And after a long personal journey that included growth, pain and even loss, learning to let go was not only a path that aligned with his soul’s purpose, but it was one that went above and beyond his own expectations. Because…he surrendered. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Kute tells his story about the lessons on the mountain. How the best selling books he wrote were not the one’s he wanted to write and what inspired the change. His thoughts on death and the one regret that changed his life for good. Want to take home a copy of Kute’s book for free? Enter the Magic of Surrender Giveaway. One winner will win a signed copy of Kute’s latest book “The Magic of Surrender”.

How comfortable are you with the thought of death? ⁣

Be it your own or someone close to you, it's probably one of the most difficult conversations to have. And when it comes to grief or the fear of dying, the level of discomfort tends to multiply. ⁣

⁣But what if you turn your focus towards conscious living, instead and use death as a lens to awaken you in life? ⁣

⁣Clinical Psychologist and Medium, Dr. Amy Robbins is a leading expert on conscious living. And it was personal loss that caused her to wake up and see things differently. ⁣

On this episode of HIListically Speaking, she shares with you the first time she was visited by her aunt after she passed away.⁣

⁣Also, how she found balance between the psychological and spiritual world to create a safe space for her patience and herself. ⁣

⁣And what it means to live your essence and discover the positive side of death. ⁣
