  • Resilience and Belonging. Meet Gina Casazza: Actress, Children's author, Public speaker. Filmaker.

    I had a fun conversation with Gina. She is not the could have, should have, would have type. Chase your dreams and learn from failure. Don't fear it.

    Today, I’m thrilled to introduce Gina Casazza—a storyteller, educator, and resilience expert with a background as compelling as her mission. Gina’s path has taken her from rigorous mental toughness training with a Navy SEAL to the unforgettable challenge of a civilian SERE course, where she learned invaluable lessons in perseverance and inner strength. These transformative experiences led her to write You Really Truly Do Belong, a children’s book that empowers young readers to embrace self-acceptance and a sense of belonging.
    Gina’s passion for literacy didn’t stop there. She founded Empower Lit - Literacy & Beyond, a nonprofit that brings the magic of reading to underserved schools. Her journey into holistic healing and mindset work began when she unexpectedly went deaf in her left ear at 21. Despite doctors saying she’d never hear again, Gina defied the odds, regaining most of her hearing a decade later. Her resilience and humor carried her through that journey and into a stint as a stand-up comic, where she sharpened her skill for connecting with audiences on a relatable Gina joins us today to share her story and the life lessons she’s gathered along the way.

  • Tom Laessig: Hypnotherapist

    Tom was a fun guest. I plan on talking to him again and working him in with my team. we talked about the uses of hypnotherapy and who it can benefit/Tom's Bio"Tom Laessig, Hypnotherapist!When I tell people that I am a hypnotist, the usual response is "Really? How did you get into that?" The conversation continues as I answer all the questions they have about what hypnosis can do for them. And hypnosis can do a lot.Hypnosis is an unknow modality that gets a bad wrap due to the way it's portrayed in movies. It is not mind control. It's mindset change. I think your listeners will be fascinated by the powers of hypnosis.I have been a practicing hypnotist/hypnotherapist for 6 years now. I specialize in helping people to quit smoking. But, like all the issues I help my clients with, it's all about changing the mindset in people. Hypnosis can change the mindset so that smokers never think about a cigarette again. Or, the overweight person doesn't think to eat a pizza again. Or, the golfer makes that 3 foot putt to win the match.Hypnosis can be used for many things. I love watching the change take place after someone leaves a session."I would enjoy sharing my experiences with your audience.

  • ‘Who’s In Charge of My Mind? A conversation With Co-Authors Richard Amoedo and Jay Juster

    Highway of HappinessRichard A. Amoedo has been a spiritual advisor for over 35 years. In the 1980s, Richard founded a specialty furniture store, which grew to six locations in different cities in Texas. At its peak, this business generated over $300k/month in revenue. In later years, despite the accumulation of material goods and business success, Richard hit a personal and emotional bottom. The subsequent path of personal development resulted in him first giving up this business, as well as all those other amenities. He went on to rebuild his life and happiness, which he found to be a greater adventure of the two. The most important part of this development is the peace and serenity and joyfulness that today Richard normally experiences on a daily basis. He has been helping entrepreneurs and parents to do the same. He has published this path, which he calls the ‘Highway of Happiness,’ in the book "Who’s in Charge of My Mind?" Check out the blog and social media pages for more information on how to find your personal happiness.https://www.notmymind.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/richardaamoedohttps://www.amazon.com/Whos-Charge-Mind-Richard-Amoedo-ebook/dp/B08F9PXK92/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1HVT0829B4KYQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AMbkRv_nlVAPR3EOGJUSZwseI8ihrBuMHL_NFBC-gtPWduOG-gdoJ0uzjEEE2x9K20TFwJVmD6ProrgonG-UCQ.53UpuF1v3IIFdyrTSyR_S027bvrMJ-mXvTcVNHsldh4&dib_tag=se&keywords=whos+in+charge+of+my+mind+book&qid=1727046328&sprefix=whos+in+charge+of+my+mind,aps,278&sr=8-1
