From My Heart To Yours

Noémi Beres: “Persistence has guided my life and entrepreneurial work. I developed my resilience through immigration, business changes, family challenges, and repeated life transitions. My mother’s message that ‘things always work out’ reinforced this perspective. My international experiences broadened my view of culture, belonging, and friendship. ‘Keep going’ has been a lifelong motto, yet exces...

Noémi Beres: "Inner work, resilience, and supportive relationships have shaped my belief that things will work out. My resilience journey started in Hungary where I grew up. I was a shy, creative child drawn to books, art, classical music, ballet, and nature. I lived in Denmark as a foreign exchange student, got married and moved to Ireland with my husband and then to Cyprus, while rebuilding...

Eva Hoffman: “For many years of my life, I was not interested in spirituality or religion. In recent years, I have become more open to spirituality. I teach my little great grandchildren about energy, energy healing, and reconnecting their hemispheres with Brain Gym exercises. I teach them to breathe slowly, because that is the first important thing for meditation. I think it's extremely important...

Eva Hoffman: “Growing is about expanding, becoming multicolored and multi shaped like a beautiful garden of flowers. I love watching young people because they are so beautiful. I don't teach secondary school children anymore. It's the age when they are really blossoming. They are just so incredibly beautiful, like a flower. I think, 'how wonderful it would be for me to find out who you are, and wh...

Eva Hoffman: “We have wonderful experiences when we connect with others. I take all of my students, regardless of age, through what I call a self-discovery learning adventure. What we discover is that, although we may seem the same, we are all beautifully different. Because we are beautifully different, we are all special. I am special and you are special. We are all special and it's extremely imp...

Eva Hoffman: “I have been a lifelong learner and yet I never liked school. I didn't like it when I was little and I didn’t like it as a teenager. The moment I left school, things changed. When I became a teacher, I promised myself that if I saw my students not loving to learn, I would change my profession. I believe that it’s a crime if there’s no heart in the teaching or the learning. I am from a...

Carol Banens: “I am grateful for the gratitude journaling I have done for years. I am also grateful that I continued writing in that journal after my husband died. I did it every night, no matter what. I can remember sitting upstairs with my diary open thinking, 'what am I grateful for?' And I made sure I found something, whether it was my warm bed in the winter or the air conditioning in the summ...

Carol Banens: “Once you're in grief, and you've lost someone, you realize there's so much more that perhaps you could have done for them, listened to them, or asked of them. I'm a piano player. My dad was a surgeon and quite a good jazz pianist. He'd say, practice hymns and play chords, it will give you chord sequences. And of course, I never listened because he was my dad. After he'd gone, I ende...

Carol Banens: “Being kind can mean so many different things. When it comes to grief, it doesn't mean trying to fix grief. Let's get that out there. Because you don't fix grief, you live through it. You get to work through it. In grief, being kind to yourself can be calling on a friend for a chat, monitoring the intensity of your grief, or journaling about your grief (what you’ve lost and what you...

Carol Banens: “It doesn't matter how someone dies, grief is immense. We get to remember that fact. When my husband died, I pushed everything down so I could go back to work, so I could manage things, and it came back to bite me for not dealing with it. It's exhausting to put on a facade of 'I'm fine', if you're not. As soon as we start to have these conversations, as soon as we're with compassiona...

Iana J. Daniels: “Every day is an opportunity for plenty of things, especially change. We are not perfect beings, we are not infallible, we are human. The world is not perfect. The game is rigged. You are going to make mistakes. Anyone who has decided they know how you should live your life, has no idea how to live their own. I was guilty of that as well.  One of my coaches called me out. She said...

Iana J. Daniels: “When we realize that everything is temporary we begin to develop the fear of missing out (FOMO). Growing up in Guyana, there are two phrases that older people say all the time. As a young girl, I didn't quite understand it. I understood it more as I grew older. The first one is, ‘You know that you're getting older, when you have fewer friends’. And the other one I recall hearing...

Iana J. Daniels: “One of my supervisors said, ‘Iana, you take yourself so seriously, you don't have to. Smile a little bit. Everything does not have to be a problem to solve. With some things, you can just let them go’. I've always had laughter in my life. For a while, it was a coping mechanism, instead of crying. When I learned about belly laughing, I realized that's the type of laugh I do when I...

Iana J. Daniels: “If you told me as a teenager sitting in Guyana, South America that I would be here talking to you on this platform, sharing parts of my journey, I would have said you're on some very good stuff.  There's a quote, I read one time, it said, 'Life is like a roller coaster, just hold on tight and enjoy the ride'. It was and I did hold on tight.  I also feel sure about the enjoyment p...

Mike Stevenson: “I believe that young people should have special sittings with local and national governments. It might add more voices to the cacophony of politicians and yet we need to hear those voices. We need to give young people a sense that they are part of the solution, and we need to listen to them now. Reforming democracy sounds complicated. It's not. They've done it in places like Norwa...

Mike Stevenson: “A child will say, "I want a city that is designed for all of us". And in response, an adult will say, "Where is the budget coming from? Can we do it? There's too much opposition.” They will take a position that's going to be immediately adversarial.  Changemakers in the world draw people in because they don't complicate things with policies and facts. They just say, "We want a cit...

Mike Stevenson: “It's time to rebalance our understanding of what money is about. When it comes to greed, we can pin it down to three things these days: business, money, and politics. We've allowed business to kind of morph into unfettered greed and we’ve allowed greed to grow. Business is a force for good and business should be a force for good. The market can solve problems and yet we've allowed...

Mike Stevenson: “I was born to a Scottish-Irish father, and a Lebanese mother who had grown up in Egypt. So it was quite a mix to be born into as a cultural being. I spent three years in Pakistan between the ages of three and six-and-a-half. On the way back to Scotland, we got caught in Egypt. It was at the time of the Suez Crisis with the British government. I remember the troops on the shore of...

Narcissistic abuse doesn’t just happen suddenly or overnight. It creeps up until one day you don’t even recognize yourself. It’s slowly dehumanizing. You lose your identity, self-esteem, and confidence... where you become an empty shell of yourself. The reality is that you can recover and reclaim that strong, independent, powerful person you truly are. You can find your own sense of contentment fr...

Through her personal journey and the circumstances that were occurring in her life, including narcissistic abuse, Dr. Bindu Babu learned to love herself. When we don’t want to deal with something... we often react rather than respond. Learning to feel our emotions is the first step in healing. We can’t heal what we don’t feel. As an Integrative Physician, Quantum Based Transformational Life Coach,...

Due to her journey of narcissistic relationships, Dr. Bindu Babu learned about sustainable healing, mindset, and various Quantum modalities. She has worked and been mentored by some of the great healers of our time, Dr. Brian Weiss MD, Dr. Paul Drouin MD, Dr Amit Goswami, and Dr. Bruce Lipton. It has been a privilege and an attribute to her life purpose to passionately support others on their heal...

Life is meant to be lived in happiness. It's a journey designed to be filled with love, joy, abundance, and most importantly… fulfilling your purpose. Dr. Bindu Babu believes that our life journey is what makes us what we are today. Being a Medical Physician, she was too left-brained to accept her intuitive abilities. Dr. Babu looked at it as luck or coincidence. She couldn’t see past anything wit...

The struggle to tell your story is real. Just ask Andrea Sanchez. I did! Andrea believes that the more you tell your story, the more you open it up for others to tell theirs. When we start seeing the humanness in each other, we become more connected and the world becomes a kinder place. Trust your gut. If your trauma story keeps coming out, reach out for help. Find someone you trust and get your s...

In this episode, Andrea Sanchez teaches us about asking for help. Her 3 main points are: You are not alone, Someone is listening, and Only the strong ask for help. I asked her if she actually did what she teaches and mentioned that asking for help is difficult for me. Andrea’s response was priceless. She agreed with me that it’s a tough/hard thing to do and that is why she called it out. Obviously...
