Join us for the fourth week of our current series, “Unstoppable”. Today, I interview a dear friend, Laurie Muhn as she shares her unbelievable journey thru multiple tragedies; Infertility, Bankruptcy, Job loss, her husbands Alcoholism and tragic death . . as well as her own more recent health crisis, stage 4 cancer, all while trying to raise 2 teenage sons. A story that reads like the script of a Hollywood movie, Laurie has truly embraced a heroic lead in this all too “real life” tale. Her great sense of humor and strength will blow your mind as she shares the secret to her positive attitude, contagious hope, and incredible wisdom. Tragedy can strike any of us. So much of life is out of our control. Laurie reminds us that HOW we respond is up to us and makes a huge difference in what happens next. Join me for this inspiring and moving interview.

Join us for the third week of our current series, “Unstoppable”. Today, I get a bit personal as I interview ex fighter Jeff Watters, who is also my fiancé. Jeff was a rising football star and successful fighter until he was interrupted by a challenging health diagnosis in his 30’s - congenital heart failure. Join us as we talk about how he worked thru the challenges of this condition, how it changed his career path, and the surprising new avenues it opened for him. Currently Jeff works as a strength and conditioning coach for some of the biggest up and coming fighters in the industry. He’s also started an armature boxing club for fighters called M1 Fight club in Detroit Michigan, located at the M1 Race track, a private club and garage facility for auto enthusiasts. Although most of his clients are professional athletes these days, he offers a monthly subscription training program for semi-pro athletes or anyone who wants to get a taste of what it’s like to train like a pro.

Join us for the second week of our current series, “Unstoppable”. Today, my guest William Branum shares how he became a Navy seal; the rigorous training, and even the unavoidable mental and emotional challenges that result.  He has served on both traditional SEAL Teams, taught as a SEAL Sniper Instructor, and served on Teams that specialized in undersea operations, who’s missions must be approved by the President of the United States. He led major combat operations ranging from protecting the interim Iraqi elected officials to Direct Action missions in Baghdad and across Ambar province.  

After retiring in 2018 after 26 years of service, William suffered from many physical and psychological symptoms that negatively impacted his well-being and quality of life. Migraines, severe anxiety, chronic pains, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping/falling asleep, and depression are some of the symptoms he struggled with daily.  Like so many, he began using prescription drugs and alcohol to mask the symptoms, but finally found relief in CBD. William is passionate about sharing what he has learned as a Seal as well as helping other veterans & first responders embrace recovery and healing after life in the service.   

His digital store, Naked Warrior, sells tons of amazing products that are both inspirational and practical, including natural products that help with Sleep, PTSD, anxiety, and recovery.  William shares the significance of the “NAKED WARRIOR” mindset  - how it’s helped him to recover and how the NW mindset has inspired many others along the road to recovery too.  He’s on a mission to not only lower the veteran suicide rate, but to eliminate it completely.

Join us for the first week of our new series, “Unstoppable”. Today, my guest Andrea Piraino joins me for a very personal conversation about her journey thru Colon Cancer and what she learned thru it all. Andrea talks about her diagnosis, surgery, surviving chemo, and the way it’s changed her outlook on pretty much everything, including her career. She shares how friendship and community made such a huge difference in her recovery. Passionate about creating a safe place for women to connect and support each other, Andrea put her years of business experience and creativity to work and started a new online clothing Boutique called “Naomi and Ruth”, which embraces our “New Normal” - providing a way for women to shop and connect virtually.

Join us for the fourth and final week of our series, “Addicted”. Today, my guests Heidi Tottingham and Psychologist Keith Herriman join me for a round table discussion on addiction. We share our personal takeaways on the many subjects we’ve covered in this series: social media, tech addiction, eating disorders, drugs, and alcohol. This week ends with a 30 day challenge for listeners to join Heidi and I as we take a 30 day “Break to think”. It’s a chance to reflect on ways we can stay more balanced in these areas so they don’t become addictions. Want to join us? Sign up for Facebook Group using the link below to get motivated and inspired. This is about being intentional and finding balance. And sometimes taking a break from wine, beer, sugar, even social media or video games . . can really change your perspective.

Join me for my third episode of "Scar Stories", a new weekly inspirational podcast that features live interviews and discussions to help you rock your life. Each month will feature a new topic and include 4 weekly podcasts about issues we all deal with. Whether it’s addiction, relationships, social issues, or even personal growth, we will cover all of it and more on this show!  Sometimes, the hardest things we face are actually opportunities to grow, and even find our true purpose. We all have a Scar Story. And whatever yours is, it matters. 

As we continue this month's topic on Addiction, join me as I interview Author, R.N., BSN, LMSW Nan Reynolds.  Nan’s life’s work has been Counciling the families and friends of addicted people, providing the tools, information, and resources they need to support the addicted person in their life and not enable. Now in her Eighties, Nan reflects back on her life, how it started, and the key things she wants all of us to understand about addiction. Join me for this colorful interview rich with wisdom and vivid examples you won’t forget anytime soon. Her book, “I love you but not your addiction” is available on Amazon and is highly recommended for anyone out there with a loved one struggling with addiction.  

UPDATE: Nan ran the family program for Brighton Recovery Center, a program similar to Alanon but independent of the Alan organization
