Born Unbreakable Podcast

We live in a world now of information overload. Information comes at us so quickly that it can be paralyzing and prevent people from taking meaningful action as they try to decipher it all.

In this episode, I talk about examples that I experienced recently of how people have been apathetic on such critical topics in our society. In these examples, I address politics and sex trafficking as we get repeated exposure to the Donald Trump indictments and the movie, Sound of Freedom.

It is more imperative now than ever to get informed, have opinions, take stances, and make intentional decisions. Choosing ignorance is what stagnates us and prevents forward progress.

I also announce that Born Unbreakable is getting a co-host! Tune in to find out who it is. The show will be taken to a whole new level. You won’t want to miss an episode…ever!

It’s an honor to have Dr. Heather Browne, psychotherapist on the show! Heather and I participated in Ashley Mansour’s Author Accelerator and Publishing programs together, so it was very special to have a fellow aspiring author on the show. 

As a young girl, Heather watched her mom suffer with schizophrenia. Her mom killed herself when Heather was 16 years old. She was disowned by her father and on her own at seventeen. Heather’s experience helped her realize that each one of us live in different realities therefore communicating with others is one of the most challenging things humans encounter – how do we help others understand the reality we are in? Through conscious compassionate communication, we can thoughtfully shift our relationships and elevate our connections. Tune in to learn more about how to become a better communicator and how to purchase Heather’s upcoming book.

Racism is real. People experience it every day. In this episode, I talk about the experience with my racist neighbor. He calls the cops every time we host black people at our home. He records our house 24/7. He is devoted to driving us out of the neighborhood. Tune in for all the details and what I have learned. 

If you have experienced or are experiencing racism, remember not to let the uneducated and fearful take your power. Rising above the ignorant and uninformed can feel difficult, but the best way to change the environment around you is to be the change you want to see. It requires that you vibrate higher.

If you had a racist neighbor, what would you do? Share your thoughts. I would love to hear how you would manage the situation.

Bill Murphy grew up in a toxic and abusive environment. Throughout his life, he struggled with the self-limiting belief of self-doubt. Despite the challenges he faced, he chose not to be a victim. Bill believes that you can become a victim, survivor, or thriver. In this episode, he talks about the path to thriving. He wrote the book Thriving in the Storm: Nine Principles to Help You Overcome Any Adversity. Buy the book here: https://thrivinginthestorm.com/. Bill inspires us to understand that thriving takes important steps like making peace with the past, gratitude, healing, and forgiveness. As an avid marathoner and competitive athlete (iron man anyone?), Bill knows how excuses can dominate our thoughts, but when we choose faith and fortitude, we are doing more than accomplishing a goal, we are leaving a legacy. Tune in now!

Have you let go of past versions of yourself that no longer serve you? We adopt our identities at a young age largely based on feedback we get through our adolescent and young adult life. You may have been deemed outgoing or introverted, a dare devil or cautious, perhaps academic, or adventurous. The personas we once were, may fade or evolve as we expand our experiences and horizons. That’s OK! Change is inevitable and in fact necessary to be better versions of ourselves later in life. Coach Dez talks about how there are characteristics that remain at our core, but how growth should be a natural part of the human experience. She shares personal and professional examples of her own growth and improvement areas she has worked on like people-pleasing and perfectionism. Ask yourself:

1. Are you the person that you want to be today?
2. What labels do you need to let go of or evolve from?
3. What steps will you take to continue growing into who you want to become?
4. Are the people in your immediate circle positively serving your growth?
5. Who do you need to surround yourself with to support your growth journey?
