Reel Talk: Single dad speaks openly about parenting children with trauma. My guest Michael Padurano speaks openly about his journey of losing his children and the work it took him to gain custody of them. Trigger warning: he speaks with transparency about what some of his children experienced and what he also endured as a child. This was a wonderful interview about overcoming your past and CHOOSING to change the narrative. He shares some of his insights and strategies on how he has successfully accomplished that in his life. You can follow him on Linkedin and YouTube to hear more about his journey.

If you have a story of overcoming and would like to be a guest on the show here is the link to schedule your interview: https://calendly.com/americassupermom/a-fresh-start-to-your-visibility-clone

We are only as good as our ego. I have learned the hard way how my ego can hinder my ability to communicate with others. I had to learn what I could and could not control. Once, I was willing to remove the mask of perfection I learned to be confident in my unique skills and talents. I no longer needed to seek validation from others. I was able to rest in my skills and not feel inadequate if I did not know something. That was huge for me as my upbringing was filled with the work of being a high performer. Asking for help, learning from others and realizing that my flaws made way for me to work with others who were good at what I struggled in. 

As a mother of 15 children, I have learned that teamwork makes the dream work. If you would like to join this network click the link and join us: https://americassupermom.substack.com/

This is a brief discussion about the importance of challenges for growth in personal and business life. Life is hard and many of us are challenged by fear and its impact prevents us from pursuing all that life has for us. I have found on my journey that many of my issues are masked beneath fear and when I looked closely I begin to see how I was being deceived in ways that were hindering my own growth. Learn today and how to tackle fear so that you can thrive instead of simply surviving in life. If you would like to schedule a call to create your own strategy for success Click the link.
