Lets Face It w/ Wil Strayhorn & Friends

Come along for the chat with Elaine Mercedes Mendoza. She assists people in seeing that the labels they cling to have a direct bearing on their perceived "worth." To achieve our freedom and happiness, we can let go of harmful attachments to labels once we learn to recognize what is controlling us. Elaine's life has been devoted to developing her activism skills for a more just society; she does not merely talk about "Diversity & Inclusion." As someone who has been subjected to four contentious "labels," she has personal experience with the negative effects of bias. Make sure you watch "The Power of Labels to Change Your Story," her TEDx lecture.

Hello, my name is Clint Callahan, and I am a social worker/therapist who has helped thousands of clients since 2000.  

Several years ago, I was going through a rough patch. I was burned out, financially stressed, and my career was going nowhere. This caused a whole bunch of personal and professional relationship challenges. I was trying and failing to juggle my responsibilities at work and in my personal life.

It wasn't easy. I was struggling with my mental and physical health, and my relationships with my wife, kids, family, and friends were suffering. I knew I had to do something to turn things around.

Desperate for change, I started making small adjustments by creating a daily morning and evening routine; getting enough sleep; making time for relationships; and setting better boundaries at work. Gradually, these changes led to better health, increased productivity, and improved relationships, creating a system that allowed me to become a more present and engaged husband, father, brother, and therapist.

Poignant, sad, tragic, funny, and compelling. At 29, Paul Thornton thought he was at the top of his game. Married to his beautiful childhood sweetheart, a rising star at one of the world’s largest companies, and gifted with a tall, commanding presence, Paul Thornton had a future as bright as the morning sun. But then a catastrophe left him without his wife and the mother of his children, his career in jeopardy, and his life measured by the thin blade of a skilled surgeon. White Man’s Disease succeeds because it covers the basics, describing in almost clinical detail the operation that changed Thornton’s life. But the book transcends that basic story to become a tale of hope and redemption, and providing social commentary on the past quarter century of social change. Issues of affirmative action, the home media revolution, medical ethics and responsibility, and higher education with the traditional American virtues of hard work and sacrifice inform White Man’s Disease, making it not only a book about one man’s victory, but a larger story about the power of human resilience and the essential American Dream of realizing one's full potential.

Discussing Hot Topics and Social Issues such as Personal growth, Spirituality, Love & Relationships.

Grief can turn our world upside down, but there is always a way through. And there can be great joy on the other side. Genese Dadzie is a keynote speaker who teaches how to become an emotional conqueror. She spoke about the importance of emotional intelligence and how to go from sorrow to joy. 

Over the years I have studied behavioral patterns and have gathered enough information to inspire others to approach negative situations with calm and balance of emotions. Our bodies have a beautiful system called homeostasis, this helps us to regulate & balance our health.

Becoming an emotional conqueror means that you no longer have to be subject to those stressors that lead to poor decisions and physiological damage caused by low vibrations.  I have learned to personally master my emotions while facing life's hardships to the point that any negative emotions that rise up inside can be eliminated swiftly.
