Celebrating one year of the Radiate Realness Podcast is a remarkable occasion. It's truly special to commemorate this milestone, especially with Radiate Realness being named a 'Finalist' in "The Outstanding Achievement Awards" set to take place in a Castle in Dublin this September 2023.

Link to Vote is below https://makeithappenseminar.com/awards This past year has been an incredible journey around the sun and around the world with the Radiate Realness Podcast. Alongside our amazing guests, we've engaged in hours of meaningful, authentic, and unfiltered conversations, sharing the profound gift of vulnerability. Each week, we've tackled crucial topics surrounding mental health and suicide prevention. It's important to note that every one of our guests has been personally touched, either directly or indirectly, by these issues. Radiate Realness has provided a safe haven for them to share deeply personal experiences, empowering our listeners. For some, it was their first time sharing their stories, and that's truly magical. To mark this remarkable one-year anniversary of Radiate Realness, I've created a special solo episode. In it, I'll take you on a journey, revealing my personal path and how my habits and behaviors kept this podcast as a mere vision in my mind for nearly two years. While I had it all planned mentally, my own habits and behaviors prevented it from becoming a reality. If you're feeling stuck in your personal life or business, where you have a vision or change you desire but it's been confined to your thoughts, held back by habits and behaviors, then this episode is a must-listen. You'll discover how Radiate Realness transformed from a stagnant idea to a vibrant reality in "A Journey from Stuck to Unstoppable." In the early days, Radiate Realness shone a spotlight from being a personal project to becoming the "People's Podcast," receiving heartwarming messages and feedback about its positive impact on people's lives. I invite you to enjoy this solo episode, and I'm eagerly anticipating what lies ahead in series two of Radiate Realness! I extend my heartfelt gratitude in advance for your support and kind words. You can vote to help us create an "Award-Winning Podcast" in September 2023 at the Castle in Dublin.

Early on in her career as an ICU Registered Nurse, Avery noticed that the majority of the reasons her patients found themselves in the ICU were because of illnesses and diseases that could be linked to chronic stress.

She made the decision to get out of the reactive side of medicine in 2015 and started building her business to help high achievers prevent and reverse the negative health effects of stress. Despite practicing what the research showed was effective, Avery experienced a significant episode of burnt out at the end of 2018 and this has left her with a chronic illness and disability. Frustrated that she was "doing everything right" and it still didn't prevent burnout, Avery dove back into the research and looked more carefully at her own habits and beliefs and found the missing pieces of the puzzle to truly prevent burnout.
