Hey Warriors- 

I hope you are staying healthy and safe during this unprecedented and crazy time.  We are all navigating unchartered waters, with worry and fear driving our thoughts each day. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our mental wellness and daily practices to stay mentally strong. 

In this episode, mindful mommy Bizette Gailewicz, shares her health journey with us and how focusing on positivity and mindfulness helped her heal.  At 27 years-old she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder. She then battled pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, cardiac and kidney failure, and years of major flare-ups of lupus.  Throughout her journey, she refused to accept the diagnosis she was given and was determined not to let it define her.  She reached out to holistic healers and used practices such as mindfulness and meditation to help guide her through her journey.  Today, she is healed and has dedicated her life to empowering children to help control big emotions so they grow into healthier and happier adults. She teaches meditation to children and has written a children’s book on meditation. She believes giving them the tools they need at a young age will help them to deal with the challenges that we all inevitably experience in life. I couldn’t argee more! Take a listen to this inspiring episode to hear how Bizettte healed herself by focusing on what she could control in her life, her mindset!

Hey Warriors-

I hope that everyone is staying healthy, safe, and sane as we all adhere to social distancing and do our best to support our local healthcare providers and all essential workers at this time.  They are truly our heroes, keeping business moving and leaving their homes so that we can have food, medicine, and all the essentials that we need. We are extremely grateful for you! 

This is a scary and devastating time for many business owners. Many of us live in a small town where the local businesses are the heart and soul of our town.  They are there for us, supporting our community, and brining us together through their food, services or entertainment.  In this weeks special episode of Suburban Warrior Podcast, I interview two small business owners from very different businesses.  Sean Coyle, owner of The Goat's Beard Restaurant in Manayunk and Wayne, PA and Maureen Doron, owner of SKIRT Fashion Boutique in Bryn Mawr & Philadelphia, PA and Stone Harbor, NJ.  Two very different businesses, both forced to reevaluate how they do business during a shut down.   These brave owners share their journey of how they had to instantly and consistently pivot their business model just to keep the lights on.  And not only are they thinking outside the box as to how they can still serve their customers, but they are giving back to the community as well, putting those less fortunate first and extending a hand to neighbors in need.  A true example of what it means to be a small business and support a community.  Take a listen!  My hope is that if you own a business of your own, this may help you to think differently as to how you can support your customer base and if you are a customer or a client, please consider supporting a small business if you can.  Now more than ever, they need us just as much as we've always needed them.

In this episode, I sit down with Maria Stroup, Impact's Vibrant Visionary.  With her extensive experience as a fierce advocate for young people and their families, Maria has devoted her personal and professional life to service-learning and leadership development in teens. Since receiving her Masters from Princeton University (yeah, she’s smart too!), Maria has worked in both educational and faith-based settings for over 30 years. She has exemplified a commitment to igniting in others an ethical engagement for the common good. 

As a seasoned program director, teacher, and pastor, Maria has thoughtfully integrated robust service-learning initiatives into diverse settings through the creation of individualized service programs for youth, opportunities for authentic dialogue and community building, and sustainable urban-suburban partnerships. Maria most recently served as the Director of Community Life and Service Learning for high school students at The Shipley School, an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school.

As Vibrant Visionary, Maria is responsible for continuously refining the Impact mission. She works tirelessly to build partnerships with urban and suburban nonprofits and the local schools and community organizations Impact serves. Curriculum development, teaching, and group facilitation are among her primary objectives.

In this episode, I sit down with the amazingly talented Art Director, Alexis Kern, and she shares with us her warrior story and how she feels as if she now has a second chance at life! 

One day Alexis woke up and felt sick, like she had the flu. We have all been there, right?  Except after days of antibiotics, not only was she not getting better, she was getting worse!  A virus was attacking her heart and she had no idea.  Thank goodness for the quick thinking of her doctors, she is alive to tell her story today.  

Did you know that heart disease kills one in 4 women?  Signs and symptoms can range  from chest tightness and shortness of breath, to heartburn, to symptoms like Alexis experienced.  It's crucial that we know all the facts.  

Please listen to this episode and let us know your thoughts.  We love to hear your feedback!
