The Getting Real with Hilary Show

What happens when you overcome an extraordinarily difficult childhood, become a successful physician, raise two daughters and discover that you're still living in survival mode?Dr. Stephanie Byerly grew up surrounded by instability. Her father left when she was just two years old. Her mother struggled with mental illness and married five times. Stephanie experienced sexual abuse, grew up on welfare, and started working at 15 to help pay the rent.Later, she married, had two daughters, and found herself in an abusive relationship. After divorcing, she was responsible for raising her girls.Having been a sick child herself, Stephanie was inspired to become a physician. She went on to build a successful career as an anesthesiologist.But despite everything she had accomplished, something wasn't working.Stephanie began recognizing that she wasn't showing up as the leader she wanted to be. She was reactive, constantly operating in fight-or-flight mode, and carrying the effects of trauma she hadn't fully understood.So she began looking inward.As she explored her own trauma and how it had shaped her reactions, relationships, and leadership, she discovered something life-changing.She didn't have to keep living that way.Today, Stephanie helps other high-achieving women recognize when they're operating in survival mode and discover new possibilities for themselves.This is a powerful conversation about childhood trauma, resilience, self-awareness, and the freedom that can come from understanding ourselves.You can be successful on the outside and still be struggling on the inside. But it doesn't have to stay that way.Dr. Stephanie I. Byerly, MD, FASA, ACC, TIPC, is an anesthesiologist, certified life and leadership coach, keynote speaker, and founder of The UNNUMB Method™ and The UNNUMB Coaching Collective™.After 25 years in academic medicine, Stephanie turned her attention to helping high-achieving women, particularly physicians and leaders, move beyond chronic stress, burnout, and survival mode.Drawing on her medical background, personal experiences, and trauma-informed coaching training, she helps women reconnect with themselves and develop healthier approaches to life and leadership.For more information, please visit:stephaniebyerly.com_______________________________________Hilary's Website: https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingRealWithHilary Spotify: https://shorturl.at/pQY68 iTunes: https://shorturl.at/qyTZ3 BBS Radio: https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshowE360tv: bit.ly/TGRWHS#GettingRealWithHilary #HilaryBurns #DrStephanieByerly #ChildhoodTrauma #TraumaHealing #TraumaRecovery #SurvivalMode #FightOrFlight #WomensLeadership #LeadershipCoaching #PhysicianBurnout #HighAchievingWomen #TraumaInformed #SelfAwareness #Resilience #EmotionalHealing #PersonalGrowth #OvercomingAdversity #TheUNNUMBMethod #S8EP9 #NervousSystemHealing #BreakingTheCycle #WomenEmpowerment #BurnoutRecovery #LeadershipDevelopment #HealingJourney #PersonalTransformation #FromSurvivingToThriving #AuthenticLiving

When Sharon Spano’s parents divorced, her father left her in the care of her grandmother, who raised her. Still, Sharon went on to build a life grounded in love, resilience and possibility.

Today, she advocates for people with disabilities and hosts Beyond the Loss, a podcast created for parents navigating what she calls “the Long After” the life that continues after a child dies.We also explore Sharon’s work around time, money and abundance, and how even the most painful experiences can shape who we become. Her closing message captures the spirit of her life and our conversation: “Every circumstance is an opportunity for growth.”Dr. Sharon Spano is a leadership expert, executive coach, author, and founder of Spano & Company, Inc., based in the Greater Orlando area.

Imagine writing a book at 16 years of age? Who does that? Kavya Thakrar, that's who. Kavya's love of writing started at a young age. She not only fulfilled her dream of publishing a book with Bows and Ties, but also started a movement. Kavya reached out to 100 powerful, inspiring women and interviewed 19 of them. Each conversation was riveting, full of wisdom, and authentic. Their generosity, sharing, and heart-felt stories will warm your heart, motivate you to more of your real self, and give you the courage to pursue your dreams. What I was left with was that all of these women are successful and doing what they love. What could be a better message for women and girls of all ages? Thank you, Kavya, for your maturity, wisdom, generosity, and commitment to sisterhood. Please thank your parents for raising such a beautiful person, inside and out.For more information, please visit:https://www.instagram.com/bowsandtiesbook/Book: https://a.co/d/04aVEKMc_______________________________________Hilary's Website: https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingRealWithHilary Spotify: https://shorturl.at/pQY68 iTunes: https://shorturl.at/qyTZ3 BBS Radio: https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshowE360tv: bit.ly/TGRWHS#HilaryBurns #GettingRealWithHilary #TheGettingRealWithHilaryShow #KavyaThakrar #BowsAndTies #WomenEmpowerment #Sisterhood #Leadership #YoungAuthor #TeenAuthor #WomenInLeadership #InspiringWomen #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery #CommunityBuilding #Creativity #GirlPower #WomenSupportingWomen #Entrepreneurship #YouthLeadership #WomenAuthors #Motivation #FemaleLeadership #Authenticity #Confidence #DreamBig #BookTalk #WomenStories #LifeLessons #Mentorship #PositiveInfluence #WomenOfAllAges #IndianAuthor #EmpoweredWomen #FutureLeaders #Podcast #LeadershipPodcast #WomenInspiringWomen #PurposeDrivenLife #YouthEmpowerment

What do you do when the unthinkable happens?

Mindy Corporon's father and 14-year-old son were murdered in a hate crime. In an instant, her life was shattered.

In this deeply moving conversation, Mindy doesn't tell us how to “get over” grief. She tells us to grieve.

Pour out the tears. Let them come.

For a time after the murders, Mindy describes moving through life as if she were walking through molasses. Healing didn't happen quickly or neatly. EMDR eventually helped her detach from some of the trauma, but she emphasizes that there is no single right way to grieve. We each move through loss differently.

And sometimes healing begins by simply saying yes when someone offers to help.

After the murders, women came to “man the house” taking care of ordinary things when ordinary life had become almost impossible. Mindy shares practical ways we can show up for someone who is grieving: bring food and containers, stock paper products, walk the dog, watch the children, or simply take care of something that doesn't require the grieving person to make another decision.

Today, Mindy has chosen to respond to hatred with love, faith and courageous kindness. Through her work, her book Healing a Shattered Soul, and a new Grief Leadership program she is developing, she is helping others navigate loss while also teaching the rest of us how to show up for people who are hurting.

This is a difficult conversation.

It's also a profoundly hopeful one.

Grief doesn't have to be hidden. Tears don't have to be stopped. And we don't have to walk through loss alone.

I really like this because Mindy's practical wisdom is the story, while the horror of what happened provides the context. You're not using the tragedy to sell the episode.

And I deliberately did not use language like “she turned tragedy into triumph.” I think that would cheapen what you just experienced with her. She didn't make what happened okay. She found a way to live, love, grieve, and serve in the presence of what happened.

What If Everything You Learned About the American Revolution Wasn’t the Whole Story? | Ray Deptula | Hilary Burns | S8EP4What if everything you learned about the American Revolution wasn’t the whole story?Ray Deptula brings the Revolutionary War to life through his two historical novels featuring Jack Halliday, a character who draws readers into a fascinating and deeply human journey through history. By weaving real historical events into Jack’s story, Ray has created books that are informative, entertaining, and difficult to put down. The prologue pulls you in, and the story keeps you reading until the very end.During our conversation, Ray explains why the British lost the war, including King George’s unwillingness to listen to any opinion but his own. We also explore Ray’s belief that political polarity in our country can be healthy rather than harmful, because allowing different voices to be heard is part of what distinguishes democracy from tyranny.We discuss what many people do not know about Benedict Arnold and Paul Revere, the enormous cost of America’s freedom, and why we should never take that freedom for granted.Ray hopes his books will reach beyond his local community and find a national audience. It is easy to understand why. They are well-written, educational, and thoroughly entertaining. Readers will enjoy Jack Halliday’s journey while gaining a deeper understanding of the history that shaped the United States and the freedom we inherited.About Ray Deptula:Ray Deptula is a native of Wells, Maine, and a graduate of Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, Maine. He spent 24 years in the U.S. Navy as a naval aviator and political-military officer serving in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, where he earned a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies. Ray lives in Merritt Island, Florida, with his wife, Julia.For more information:Website: https://www.raydeptulaauthor.comFacebook: ray.deptulaInstagram: raydeptulaauthorTwitter/X: DeptulaRay32221LinkedIn: ray-deptulaBook link: https://a.co/d/09aV4jlf_______________________________________________________Hilary’s Website: https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingRealWithHilarySpotify: https://shorturl.at/pQY68iTunes: https://shorturl.at/qyTZ3BBS Radio: https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshowE360TV: https://bit.ly/TGRWHS#GettingRealWithHilary #HilaryBurns #RayDeptula #AmericanRevolution #RevolutionaryWar #AmericanHistory #BenedictArnold #PaulRevere #GeorgeWashington #AmericanIndependence #Freedom #HistoricalFiction #HistoricalNovels #MilitaryLife #USNavy #NavalAviator #MaineMaritimeAcademy #NationalSecurity #Democracy #PoliticalPolarity #Books #BookRecommendations #HistoryBooks #JackHalliday #ADogBeforeASoldier #CantFindMyWayHome #Podcast

A study in the 1970's showed a shocking truth about health. Rabbits were studied for the impact of high fat in their diets. 60% of the rabbits were healthier which did not support the research.  After digging into what happened, they found that the person administering to those rabbits was an animal lover. She held them, talked to them lovingly, and this created healthier rabbits.

Dr. Lauren Hartman is a pediatrician and adolescent specialist. She has had many young patients with eating disorders. She has seen the impact of this disease on their psychological, physical and emotional health. She is determined to change the narrative for this generation so that our children can grow up in a new paradigm for body image, eating, and self image.

Our conversation was informative, emotional, and eye-opening. Anyone who has dieted, had shame over food or eating, feels restricted around their body, eating or self image would benefit from reading her book, Freeing Children and young Adults,........(get the rest of the title).

Thank you, Dr. Lauren, for your commitment to the next generation, so ourselves, and to the world in general. You are creating more love, more hope, and more compassion and elevating the conversation and consciousness of the planet.
