Optimize Your Life

This week on Conversations with Change-Makers I explore the deep waters of Francesca Annenberg and her eating disorder, her battle with hormone imbalance, acne and regaining her menstrual cycle. This is a first of it's kind episode on the show where we explore the intricacies of womanhood and the common obstacles so many woman face on a daily basis. As Fran mentions in the episode, her Mantra became patience and perseverance and she had to tap into her intuitive body in order to fully heal and regain her period.

Activist. Vegan. Athlete. Leader. Influencer. Change-Maker. Speaker. Entrepreneur. These are just a few of the words that describe the legendary Dominick Thompson. In this conversation Domz lays out his path from the West Side of Chicago dealing drugs to hitting his rock bottom in prison and deciding that abstaining from eating animals was the most compassionate route he could take. In his words, it is bad karma to directly or indirectly cause harm to other beings, whether it is humans or animals. Domz went on to become one of the strongest inmates living only on plants and still is today where you can see him lifting heavy in the gym or racing in triathlons. Domz made a 180 in his life and has dedicated his compassionate activism to changing this world for the better.

We are now in the age where males and females have discovered the quality of empowering the feminine energy within us all.

Today's episode is a special one. It is the start of an in depth conversation about myself. My weaknesses, my strengths and the wisdom I have picked up along the way of living a compassionate and conscious life since sobering up 5 years ago. I thought it would be apt to start with explaining my WHY. The reason behind my purpose driven energy in life. I get vulnerable and share my story of strength and hope. I believe everyone has a story and needs to share it. We are all ENOUGH. We owe it to the world to reveal our genuine truth by living in line with our purpose. Thank you for listening to my story.
