There are various types of rock bottoms, often met with red flags along the way, signaling that something is wrong. These red flags can easily be overlooked or avoided for a number of reasons:  pride or addiction, habit or fear, curiosity or even compulsion. This week’s LOOKING UP guest is Certified Life Coach, hypnotherapist, spiritual mentor, meditation teacher, and recovering alcoholic Ryan Haddon, who shares how her rock bottom experience was a baseline for reinvention; she chose to rebuild a new reality and make space for something much better, all while overcoming struggles with addiction, a fast paced Hollywood lifestyle, and not knowing how to live life, on life’s terms. Learn a thing or two from Ryan in this poignant episode of LOOKING UP.

Last week was Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 76th anniversary of Auschwitz’ liberation. Now more than ever it is necessary to share stories of Holocaust survivors so that history may never repeat itself. Today’s episode shares the story of one woman’s resilience, strength, determination and ability to create hope from hopelessness. Best-selling author, world renowned psychologist and PTSD expert, and Auschwitz survivor, Dr. Edith Eger, was only 16 when she was thrown in a concentration camp, spending eight months starved, tortured, beaten and humiliated by Nazis. She credits her survival to her mother’s parting words, “No one can take away from you what you've put in your mind.” Dr. Eger’s absolute truth is that she is a survivor who never allowed herself to be a victim or a prisoner of her own mind. Listen to learn all about her awe inspiring resilience and how she found hope in the darkest of places.
