Tragedy Academy

Everyone suffers trauma. But it’s how we choose to deal with it. One perspective is to look at your own trauma as stored energy that needs to be released. You cannot get over your emotional pain without allowing yourself to feel it. Listen here as Ann Hince shares her journey of emotional self-awareness and how something called EFT or “tapping” helped her get over her past.

Summary:

When we, as humans, experience emotional trauma, we tend to “choose” to forget about it. We tell ourselves that happiness is a choice. So, when we are upset, we ignore the pain that comes with the trauma.

Join Ann Hince, a professional speaker, author, & Spiritual Teacher, as she takes us through the steps of how to heal from your past emotionally. Ann began her journey of healing after a verbal altercation with two mothers at her son’s school. Once she realized her reaction was based on her past with her father, she was able to begin her journey of self-discovery and heal her traumas.

Takeaway:

??Trauma can be looked at as pent-up energy that needs release

?How we interpret how others may feel about us may reflect how we feel about ourselves.

?????Though we may not be able to control certain events in our lives, we can control our we react.

?You cannot get over your past unless you allow yourself to feel the emotions that came with it.

Quotes:

“We are not replaying the same events; we are replaying the same feelings.”

“The whole of us is a signal. And that signal we emit into the universe gets established in those first few years of life when we live in our subconscious more.”

“My whole story is finding my truth and accepting it.”

“I did not know at that point what my feelings were because I had suppressed them for so long.”

“We can always take responsibility for what is happening around us by looking at how we feel about it.”

Meeting and exceeding goals requires effort and perseverance. Obstacles and setbacks are unavoidable, and what counts most is the seriousness with which you resolve to overcome such failures. Listen here as Brandon Puffer shares how he recovered after hitting rock bottom and how he reminds others that redemption is possible.

Summary:

Failure is unavoidable, and the first step toward preventing failure is recognizing that it is normal. When things don’t go as planned, it’s not the end of the world and merely a stumbling block. Failure is a part of the trip; the most crucial part is getting back up.

Join Brandon Puffer, a former professional baseball pitcher, as he explores the path to realizing his aspirations. Brandon chose to share his story with the world to inspire others after a big fall off the field ruined his career. He played 15 seasons of professional baseball, with the Boston Red Sox winning the 2004 World Series being the peak of his career. Unfortunately, one foolish decision resulted in a 5-year prison sentence, thereby ending his professional baseball career.

Takeaway:

?Your judgments and failures don’t define who you are.

?People are sometimes so focused on perfection that they sometimes fail to realize that it is okay to make mistakes because mistakes are where we learn.

????Everything that happens in your life is because of your decisions. Be responsible and do not blame others for it.

?Knowing your reason to live would be beneficial.

Quotes:

“You’re much bigger than any judgments or mistakes you’ve made.”

“My greatest foe was not wanting anyone else to know I was messed up.”

“You can choose who you want to get about with, and there are many ways to get in there and go in a different route.”

“Regardless of everyone’s point of view or faith, you’re here for a reason, and you need to figure out what that is.”

“Whatever you give me to do, I’ll do it with a grin and hard labor. Things began to improve gradually but steadily.”

We are limited from achieving our highest potential by the fears we have developed due to our past experiences. We're not supposed to judge, and we're not supposed to judge our experiences; instead, we should take what we've learned and move on. Tune in as Birgitta Visser discusses how she managed her life from experiencing traumas to taking responsibility for her actions and healing herself.

A seed needs the ground to grow; we, too, must hit the ground to become our most authentic selves and realize our full potential. As you progress through life, you'll continue to draw inspiration from those dependent on the chair around you.

Join Birgitta Visser as she shares how you can channel your inner self, be more authentic and understand life and how she studied many healing modalities and healed herself. She's a self-empowerment coach and a light configurator who works with light beings to aid humanity. The juncture where Birgitta's life changed was in 2009. She had a very traumatic experience and had toxic relationships. But she wanted and needed a change in her life, and the only way she would do that was to take responsibility. That was because she blamed many other people even though she wanted to change. Birgitta started with Reiki healing which was her saving grace.

"You're like an onion. In every experience, you peel back a layer, you cry, and you must go through the hell of the experience to expand your awareness. Then you get the next experience, the next one, and so forth. But the more you become aware, the easier life becomes."

"When we're in the thick of a traumatic experience, and we can't find a way out, when you look at it from above, it seems so small. Why did we get so absorbed in our drama and experiences when we can easily let go and move forward and look at things from a different perspective?"

"When we talk about Christianity, it's a bloody rulebook indoctrinated by fear; you cannot do this, you cannot do that. But I live my life the way I choose to, whether people like me or not. That is not my problem."

"This is what we create within ourselves. We are either our greatest healers because we've got all the tools within or our worst enemy, and we create that disease within ourselves."

"If people judge me, it doesn't bother me. It's fine. I am who I am. And I don't apologize for who I am, who I've become, and who I will be becoming."

? It doesn't matter what people think of you. What matters is what you feel about yourself.

? The light within us is the same as everyone else's, and there is no difference between us except for our physical appearance.

? You only know what you know when you know it. It's how people view you based on information that you haven't even had a chance to read.

????Don't judge yourself. Don't be so harsh on yourself.

? Our soul is pure, and it's perfect. The mind is what confuses the truth.

We all carry limiting ideas that prevent us from succeeding in the business and life we want. 95% of our lives are under the control of our subconscious mind, which operates on autopilot. By reshaping your perspective, you can transform into a spiritual alchemist who can use all we go through for our highest good. When you do that, you produce stronger vibrations that enable you to draw in more of the life you want, enabling you to achieve success easily.

Summary:

There is an energy that pulls humanity back over time. It is the thing that prevents people from fully realizing their potential, accepting who they are, and achieving their aspirations.

Join Business and Spiritual Mindset Coach, 3x Author, Podcaster, and Pediatric Chiropractor Dr. Vic Manzo, as he discusses his journey as a chiropractor, business reframing, the importance of having the proper mindset, and many more. His broad range of knowledge in spirituality, universal laws, neurology, quantum physics, and understanding of the mind has enabled him to assist thousands of people and hundreds of business owners in transforming their lives so that they can live more meaningful, soul-filled lives. Vic hosts a podcast where he imparts all knowledge about the mind, raising consciousness and enabling the individual to take advantage of more of life's wonders.

Quotes:

"What matters is where you're coming from."

"The more that foundation is, whatever you're going to do will be successful, and it will be perfect and aligned to what you're gonna do."

"You have to go if you want to figure these things out. Don't listen to what anyone tells you to do unless it helps you find your own craft."

"We look outside ourselves to get approval instead of looking within. That's why we care so much about what other people think."

"Comfort is the killer of all dreams."

Takeaway:

? Anything big starts from the bottom.

? Focus on the small things first before moving on to the bigger ones.

? Sometimes all you need to do is tune out the background noise and do whatever you think is best for you.

? If you want to know more about something, do your best to learn about it.

? We often lose our individual aspect due to our overwhelming desire to fit in with everyone else, so take caution.

Summary

This episode is about kicking back and discussing random things as friends do.

Our OG guest this week is episode 4 alumni Sarah Donna, five-time Miss Michigan, circus trapeze artist, actress, influencer, model, and grilled cheese connoisseur. With such incredible accomplishments, you could not ask for a more humble and gracious guest, not to mention hilarious.

Random Topic 1:

Sarah shares her Sunday recipe for a bloody Mary with grilled cheese. Everyone loves a warm grilled cheese and tomato soup might as well stir in some vodka. Be sure not to run after a bloody mary, or you could get heartburn and need a shower afterward.

Random Topic B:

Did you know Sarah takes cold showers? And men use minimal and all-in-one hygiene products? A bar of dial soap is still used by Jay, while Gary uses body wash. In case you were wondering...

Jay talks about how he saw a video about the benefits of cold showers and dopamine and how taking an ice-cold shower raises endorphin levels and then tapers off over time.

Random Topic 3:

Are you interested in a bidet? Jay brings up a previous episode of the Reckless Bitch Podcast containing a quote from Sarah in which she said she always had the cleanest ass at 7-11 whenever she was present. Sarah explains how she installed her bidet.

Need a blow dry after a cold sprite to your posterior? Stop by Japan. Everyone agrees that theirs is the most advanced, with blow dryers and an uplifting tune on completion.

Need a pallet of toilet paper? See Sarah. Purchasing in mass quantities at the highest quality is a must. Remember to use wipes for that fresh feeling when there's no bidet around. You can even Subscribe to receive your TP.

Random Topic D:

Would you like to remove all those pesky subscriptions of TP and other items from your bank account that you forgot? It's as simple as canceling your debit card and getting a new one, the preferred group method for cleaning out your random subscriptions.

Random Topic 5:

Jay points out that Sarah has the best Twitter handles, such as "Glizzy McGuire" and Postmates Malone." Speaking of Tweets, Sarah is taking on all Bootlickers and then maybe a career in slap fighting?

Random Topic F:

Have you ever wanted to slap someone? Jay chooses his High School Bully, while Sarah chooses the IRS and other entities. You could get your teeth slapped out.

Random Topic 6:

Before you get them slapped out, remember to brush your teeth. The difference between growing up with fluoride and without is covered. Jay points out how he had teeth problems from well water and the army, while Sarah did not and grew up with fluoride.

Random Topic H:

Do you want to avoid peeing your pants? Then you may want to lay off the caffeine. Sarah explained how she had a problem due to caffeine intake and how she had to limit it.

Random Topic 8:

You've probably got a phobia or quirk. Sarah hates seeing blood pump or feeling it under her skin. Jay cannot write with a pencil, and Gary hates airport bathrooms with carpets (gross).

Always a great time when you can sit with friends and talk about anything and everything.

Everyone, at some point in life, will be brought down to their knees because of pain and suffering, no matter how much they endure it. But it’s not the end; that moment can be the time for your life to change. Tune in as Deborah Driggs discusses how she overcame her addictions and entered the worlds of real estate, investments, and insurance despite being in her 40s, broke, and having three kids to support.

Summary:

Facing the time when we lose hope and are brought down to the ground is frightening. Discover how we can defy adversities and rise from our downfall.

Join actress, Playboy centerfold and cover girl, and top-rated insurance professional Deborah Driggs as she dives into her experiences, the moment when she was down, and how she overcame her difficulties. The first thing Deborah did was to enter real estate, and she decided to reinvent herself and pursue life insurance, where she met big success. From there, she slowly raised her ranks and became one of the top-rated insurance professionals. Deborah also has coaching lessons to help people that go through what she experienced and let them join her healing path.

Takeaway:

? Everyone has been forced to their knees at some point in their life. We either use it to advance or stay stuck.

? Consider the suggestions and opinions of those who already possess what you desire because many people today offer advice even when they lack the necessary expertise.

? Whether or not you honestly believe what you're saying out of your damn mouth will be obvious to everyone.

? When you can see what someone has been through from the outside and still say that they appear to be in perfect health, you can truly appreciate how resilient they are.

? Giving freely to others shows you are genuine and working to bring about change.

Quotes:

“It was in those moments of being on my knees where the growth began, where all of a sudden, there was something that shifted, and even though, at the time, it was so hard.”

“Much like a plant, it requires the ground for a seed to grow. For us to grow, we also have to hit the ground. We're not going to be the best if we're not grown from the ground up.”

“Don't invest money with people who don't have more money than you.”

“The only way to recover from a spiral, or from that pain, or that codependency or whatever it is you're focused on or obsessed with, is to take 90 days and focus on yourself.”

“You have to have that window where you deconstruct. If you had a merry-go-round spinning, it takes a while to stop.

Obtaining a healthy mentality is challenging as people must fight their fears and trauma, dive deep into their minds to be aware of it and slowly begin to process it. Tune in as Dr. Margit Muller discusses how one can release the anxieties and burdens ingrained in their body and then return to a state of peace and serenity. She will also discuss how animals support people in remaining happy despite adversity.

Summary:

A healthy mental state is complex, significantly if it has been affected since childhood. The struggles we go through as we progress in life will burden our mental state. Discover how NPL helps you access your fear or trauma, slow the process, and heal it. Furthermore, learn how the strong bond between animals can help us relieve our mental state and potentially save our lives.

Join Master Life Coach, Professional Certified Coach, NLP master, speaker, award-winning author, and Executive Director Of Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, Dr. Margit Muller, as she shares the relevance of NLP and life coaching to help people break free from their fears and trauma. She will also discuss the remarkable capabilities of falcons and the feeling of being a woman falconry. Margit was the first female veterinarian and first female falcon doctor in the Middle East, then in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With most falconers being male, Margit faces a difficult challenge as falconers are uncertain of her capabilities to do the job because she is a female. With her love for the animals, Margit continues to do her best. It took two years for her to be fully acknowledged by the people.

Quotes:

"Once you can start accessing those certain experiences of fear or trauma, slowly, you can start to overcome them because you can start processing them."

"You have to think that a child looks at the world in a different way; the whole world revolves around the child."

"Animals, no matter which one, helps you to get in a better hormonal state and create this happiness, this well-being, this loving feeling."

"Animals can sense all of our mental illnesses and so on. The moment that we start looking somewhere that doesn't exist, that's the moment that animals start to intervene."

"Learn to love like a dog."

Takeaway:

People need to remember that this kind of perspective on reality is only sometimes the result of an outside catalyst. It could be a simple misinterpretation of a facial expression as to how someone feels about you.

When you receive mental health coaching, you properly prepare your mind and break free from this highly tight emotional attachment.

You experience the release of endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin, which are your happy hormones, when you pet an animal, whether a dog or a cat, even for three to five minutes.

Animals love you as you are, without any layers. You don't have to pretend anything, and you don't have to put on a show. They love you as you are.

Humans need to cherish animals, spend time with them and recognize that they're a key to mindfulness that we need to utilize correctly.

The journey after cancer, or any disease, is one to be reckoned with, and it is not simple and takes time, patience, and strong support from your loved ones. Tune in as Juni Bucher discusses how she managed life during her cancer journey and how she uses therapy to aid individuals, both survivors and those presently facing this disease.

Summary:

You feel alone when you know you have cancer and are going through one of the most difficult times of your life. Discover how we can be there for folks who have survived or are battling breast cancer on their journey.

Join Nutritional Therapy Practioner and breast cancer survivor Juni Bucher, NTP, as she explores the issues that concern breast cancer patients as they navigate their physical and mental healing. After beating breast cancer in 2019, Juni decided to follow her passion for nutrition and wellness and went back to school for Nutritional Therapy. She also completed a 200-hour meditation teacher certification through Unplug Meditation studio led by davidji and Suze Yalof-Schwartz. Juni currently has a private practice focusing on hormonal balance for women in mid-life and breast cancer survivors.

Quotes:

“There’s a lot of anxiety that comes with being a survivor.”

“Worry is preposterous because it creates a current reality that contains nothing that exists.”

“We’re in a position where we feel guilty for caring about whether or not we survive over someone else or that we’re robbing them of an opportunity.”

“There is still life in Death, and you must enjoy every moment.”

“Most of the time, it’s just being present.” Just checking in and not being afraid to talk about something other than cancer.”

Takeaway:

Surviving cancer is not the end of a person’s journey since they must deal with persistent fear. It is critical to check in with them regularly.

Worrying is unavoidable, but we should avoid falling into a cycle of persistent concern because it will only worsen things.

Enjoy life and cherish the people around you, in illness and health, because life is only a loan.

Knowing what to do to support someone close to you who is facing cancer would be beneficial.

Understanding what is happening behind the scenes while your clients or prospects move through the buying process would be beneficial.

The Techniques, Experiences, and Stories of Kelvin Gastelum as a Professional in Mixed Martial Arts in the UFC.

Are you a fighter? Are you interested in martial arts? In today's episode, Gary and Jay welcome a well-known professional mixed martial arts artist, Kelvin Gastelum. Please tune in to The Tragedy Academy Podcast as Kevin Gastelum shares various stories and experiences he has had in mixed martial arts.

Summary:

Did you know that MMA is all about deception? How do fighters observe their opponents? Discover the Ultimate Fighter secrets, tips, experience, and various stories.

Kelvin Gastelum is a well-known professional in mixed martial arts. He won The Ultimate Fighter 17 and has since competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight division. He said martial arts is deception. It's not about being the strongest but an intelligent fighter with a good strategy.

Quotes:

"Depends on how you see it and approach the fight; everybody has a different approach. There's no set rule on how to train or approach a fight. Everybody's different."

"MMA is about martial arts based on deception. When you think I'm going up, I'm going down."

"The confidence comes into preparation. Once you've prepared well, you're ready, then that's all you can ask for."

"The difference between success and failure is action."

"Losing is an opportunity to grow in ways you can't get by being a winner."

Takeaway:

Your opponent will observe how you fight when you're in a fight. When it comes to martial arts, you should know how to deceive your opponent and confuse him about your next move.

When preparing for a fight, you also prepare your confidence.

In championships, whether middleweight or welterweight, fighters usually have a weight to maintain. They do everything in their power to achieve their target weight.

While training, you should keep your body hydrated. Hydrating keeps your brain functioning and prevents your muscles from cramping.

When you lose, it is an opportunity to improve, giving you the time to improve and become a better version of yourself.
