    Welcome back to another Superpowered episode of the Superhero Finder!

    Today our technology amazing me with another transatlantic conversation with my guest Yvonne from San Diego, CA.

    Today we discuss the important of living your life for now, and making choices for the right reasons.

    Yvonne left her home in Germany to escape her situation and found herself in Sacramento, with no family or friends around.

    The relationship with her close family were in need of repair. She met her husband, who sadly died from Cancer within a year of the wedding..

    As an immigrant in a huge country like the USA, now this, how did she cope with that?

    Yvonne has faced some real challenges, life changing things and talks about some real lessons on how her perception and attitude towards life really helped her thrive to where she is today.

    Hello and welcome back Superheroes!
    This week I spend somse time with Harriet, who 8 years ago spent some time in a coma after a terrible accident.
    It was life changing.
    Like all superheroes, Harriet has a backstory and within there are some pretty honest and frank details. 
    At 21 years old, just graduated from Uni, how exactly does it feel to wake up after a month of being in a coma?
    What does that do to your life, how do you find the energy to get through each day?
    We discuss this, how to find our 'Ikigai' and talk about how challenging it is to make a living when all you want to do is help others.
    I hope you enjoy this, its powerful, its packed full of things to think about and takeaway and it was a pleasure to host.

  • Superhero #57 - The NHS Couldn't Help Me, So I'm Helping The NHS | Lagans Foundation | Carren Bell
    HI Superhero Fan!
    Welcome to another episode today of the superhero podcast and today I have the please of spending some time with Carren Bell, the Founder of Lagans Foundation.
    What does Lagans Foundation do? 
    Providing Unique Home Health Care and Respite in the North West for Families & Children Living with Complex Needs.
    We discuss Carren's experience caring for her daughter Lagan in her very short time on this earth.
    Where did the strength come from?
    There was no function of support within the NHS for such complex needs, Carren kept being told that it couldn't be done.
    But she was doing it every day, so how is that true?
    We get in insight here of just how the grief process has taken Carren into action mode, and still to this day drives her to create a service, a network of volunteers who can provide this care and help other parents who were in her position.
    That is POWERFUL!
    Not only that but as a child with several learning and neuro complexities, how on earth was a project this big even feasible?
    I wont spoil it, but its inspiring, its humble and Carren is fab. We could talk all day, I wont rule out a part 2!
    If you want to find out more about Lagans you can visit https://lagans.org.uk/ or find them on all social media's.

  • Superhero #56 - Be Conscious, Be Present and Make The Right Decision For You - Energy Talk | James Kawainui
    Hey Superhero fans!
    Today we finally get to hear from James Kawainui, who is a Native Hawaiian Healer.
    I say finally, this is take two for us as technology like to challenge us, but maybe there is something in that.. powerful conversations, maybe too much power for the laptops? Who knows!
    We could speak all day, and I would certainly expect us to do a part 2 at some point as you will discover James is a very wise man with some powerful and interesting things to say.
    We find about how within days of having 'an experience' he left his corporate job, and knew that his ancestors were going to lead him on a path to do something else, something super powerful. 
    We talk about his life falling apart, relocation, learning who he was and what he was on this earth to do and we look at many ways in which we can align with what we 'feel is right'. Our intuition is very powerful, but have we begun to scratch the surface of our understanding.
    Ok, so a few years ago the idea of energy healing would have been something I rejected, I like cold hard fact. Now I am much more open, as we as a world tap back into some of the understanding that was commonplace centuries ago and I emplore you to be too and give this a listen.
    If you would like to know more about James or get in touch for one of his free calls, you can do so here www.jameskawainui.com.
    I have started a mailing list, and keep the Mattcave updated with what's going on in the IDIFM universe so please come and join me at www.imdoingitfor.me

  • Superhero #50 - How Breakups Have Helped Make Me As Strong As I Am | Nathan Petch

    In this episode I catch up with a friend of mine, who has managed to achieve some great things already in a short space of time as a strongman.

    But who is behind the strength? 

    What path did he choose in life?

    What challenges had to be overcome to get him where he is.

    We discuss how a difficult and challenging time in this case a relationship break up can with the right mindset be used to make big decisions, ones that will have a huge impact on you. We touch on how in a relationship you can naturally hold yourself back, or mould yourself into a particular person to 'fit' or be the person you think is wanted.

    Finding the right person, embracing that support and enduring life's challenges is on the menu and I hope you enjoy your meal!
