How Coronavirus Saved My Life

Have you ever wondered what the conscious and unconscious parts of your personality are? Have you ever wondered how you knew something you just knew?

Discovering human design made many things click for me. Many experiences, many breakthroughs, many undiscovered talents, many choices I've made in the past make sense, Human Design has shown me why I now have a podcast at age 44. Why I’m coming off the roof early to be a role model for others. Why having alone time is where my foundation of my teachings to others lies.

Today I brought back my friend and human design coach Marielle Honse once again to discuss the human design profile lines

Before listening to this episode, I encourage you to listen to our previous Human Design episodes before listening to this one so you have an easier understanding of this fascinating subject.

Episode 21 is a great one to start with because Marielle gives a beautiful and easy to understand explanation of what  exactly humans design is and how it gives you permission to be yourself through your unique design

Episode 24— Marielle and I get into more of the specifics of human design such as the Human design Types, Authority, and Centers.

This episode left me speechless. It is not often I meet someone who's childhood has similarities to mine. Much less someone who is as direct and transparent about the value of having a traumatic childhood , how reframing our conditioned perspective of our painful past is where your power lies and shows our true purpose.

My honest no-holds-barred conversation with Chris Allen, CEO & Co-Founder of Advanced Computing and Technology, Athlete, Father, Husband, former prisoner turned Advocate, about his Journey of Reframing Conditioned Views of Male Strength is a game changer. How beautiful for two people who barely know one another to instantly trust & feel safe in sharing their dysfunctional childhood resulting in seeking love in toxic relationships, multiple sex partners, and choices altering our destiny forever. 

Society tells us that men should be "strong", the head of the family, the one that we can lean on, the one who has all the answers, the one who won't hurt you, the one who will rescue you. Then women, such as myself, become disappointed when men do not live up to this misguided societal conditioning.

The purpose of today’s episode is to start reframing our misguided conditioned beliefs about male strength.

Thank You Chris Allen for trusting the listeners with your story. Thank you for being honest about your own mistakes you made in past relationships. Thank you Chris for being vulnerable. You are a role model in male vulnerability. 

Chris Allen is a role model in Male Vulnerability. Male Vulnerability is the VERY definition of Male Strength.

Thank You to all the listeners for giving this podcast healing wings! I am forever grateful.

This week I had a conversation with my new friend, blogger and author Cherie White, who is an Advocate for Bullied Children and Teenagers. Cherie's personal childhood story of being bullied for 6 years after moving to a small town in Tennessee is heartbreakingly powerful. From a slow progression to constant violence. Her mission now is "Exposing Bullies and Liberating Targets to Make The World a Safer Place for All". I learned so much about the intimation tactics of bullies. The non-verbal communication tactics of bullies blew my mind! Taking her power back has led to her mission and purpose. Just WOW!

In this episode of How Coronavirus Saved My Life podcast, is my personal story of burnout as a nurse.

Burnout is real. Burnout is definitely real if you're a healthcare worker. Then throw additional gasoline on burnout if you're a nurse working in the pandemic. Double the gasoline if you're a nurse working on a covid unit.

Listen to my journey of why I became a nurse, the life changing events of 2001 leading me to my calling, and the surprising person who always encouraged me to become a nurse.

This week I am practicing what I preach. I am taking a week off for self-care. Instead of recording a new interview, I decided to replay my most popular episode: dysregulation. This episode is the first where I went with my gut by changing my podcast to an interview style show. I am so happy I did because this episode has spoken to so many listeners around the globe. I interview my therapist friend Sandy about our dysregulated emotional nervous system which stems from childhood trauma. I had no idea my perfectionism and procrastination were forms of that 3-legged stool called Anxiety. I also did not know setting boundaries is actually a form of self-protection and the importance of saying those two little letters N-O. Sandy blew my mind when she revealed why we all have such hard time saying "No" and such difficulty setting boundaries with the people we love (hint: we were never taught it was safe to do so).  

Looking back on my own journey as a Nurse Practitioner with Coronavirus in April 2020, I was BURNED OUT. I no longer had joy for my nursing profession, constantly frustrated, unhappy, and always in fight or flight (anxiety). As I have been easing my way back into more hospital shifts, I have been talking to nurses about their own Coronavirus journey and their BURNOUT Story. 

Calling all Nurses! I am looking for a Nurse to tell their own personal coronavirus story. I am looking to have a conversation with a Nurse about BURNOUT. 

Email me at: [email protected] with Subject line "Burnout" to tell your story as a nurse working during the pandemic.

In this episode....

Melissa Llarena and I have a powerful conversation about her childhood. Quite frankly, I am still wrapping my mind around what it was like for Melissa as a little girl being raised by a Mother who has Bipolar Disorder. Melissa eloquently paints the picture of herself as a little girl who's mother was frequently hospitalized, off her meds, manic, grandiose, and unstable. A little girl who was shuffled around, raising herself, constant chaos, and a foundation created with uncertainty and danger. I am honored Melissa Llarena trusted my listeners and myself for giving her a safe space to speak her childhood truth. 

Personal Note: 

Dear Melissa, 

I am so proud of you for the bravery of sharing your story. This IS YOUR Geraldo Rivera moment. Little Melissa is worthy of feeling safe in her/your truth. You inspire me in unimaginable ways! Thank you. I am humbled. Keeping speaking YOUR truth. You deserve it.... and so does the world. Go Cycle

Melissa Llarena's Bio:

Melissa is a business mentor, career coach, Forbes contributor, and greatest cheerleader to fellow mompreneurs. She is the creator and host of ``An Interview with Melissa Llarena” which is a podcast for super curious humans who desire to learn from humans who courageously and creatively went after their curiosities, and made an impact, so they can too.
