From My Heart To Yours

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.

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...

The word Believe covers Andrea Sanchez’s mantra. If she did tattoos, she’d engrave it on her wrist. Andrea believes in a higher power and how important it is to have something to believe in and opens one up to possibilities. We chatted about my two favorite books “The Art of Possibility” and “Pathways to Possibility”. Possibilities are endless, we get to choose our mindset and then breathe into an...

Meet Andrea Sanchez. She was never allowed to express her own feelings and she was told what to wear, think, and behave. Abuse comes in many forms, including cultural and religious abuse. This created low self-confidence and drew in bullying at school, not to mention plenty of emotional trauma. All of which led Andrea into depression and anxiety. She found her voice once she moved out of her famil...

Author Paul (Burt) Gardner and I chat about the book "Women Who Run with the Wolves", by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. We zeroed in on two particular stories: "The Handless Maiden" and "Skeleton Woman". I absolutely love the story of "The Handless Maiden" because it’s a great review of the book and talks about the different stages of initiation that we go through...

𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 (𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲): “The paradox of life is a huge thing to comprehend, and can be really unsettling. The mind wants some sort of ultimate truth that makes sense. The more I connect spiritually to life, the more I find that it's a living paradox to just exist. When we connect with ourselves, we have more compassion for the people around us and for people all over the world. We start to encount...

𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 (𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲): “The word Temporary means that everything is impermanent, which is a basic truth in Buddhism. If we aren't connected to that understanding, it can really cause a great deal of suffering. There's this aspect of life, that every time we try to grasp onto something, it slips away. Even when our intentions are good or an idea is good, it's still temporary. Humans feel safe when...

𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 (𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲): “Connection is vital to being human. It's an ingredient of life that is life itself. When I think about the word connection on a global scale, what comes to mind for me right now is general malaise. Vivek Morganti, who is the US Surgeon General said that loneliness is about or worse than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. When we are disconnected, alienated or alienating o...

𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 (𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲): “I was about to graduate from college when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. I moved to my mom's place to finish up online. I lived there for a couple of months after graduation, just figuring out what I was going to be doing. I ended up joining a startup. While all that was happening, it was one of the worst years of wildfires in California. There were multiple dry lightning stri...

𝗥𝗼𝗯 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶: There is a difference between happiness and joy, if you start to really unpack it. Happiness is derived by something. You get a promotion, you're happy. You get a new car, you're happy until the smell goes away and then it's just a car. These things create this feeling of happiness, but it's fleeting. Joy is this beautiful contentment for your life, regardless of what's going on. Joy is...

𝗥𝗼𝗯 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶: “At a very young age and because of the situation with my dad, I realized that I could either live in fear or I could focus on the reality of what's under my control and what I could do about my situation. I now have a really interesting relationship with fear. If you tell me not to walk down the street, because it's dangerous, I'm probably gonna go down that street to check it out for...

𝗥𝗼𝗯 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶: “The short version of my story is that I was married to an amazing woman, who was then diagnosed with ‘late stage’ breast cancer, right before her 31st birthday. We were at the height of our ‘everything’. I was given a job in the United Arab Emirates, which was unheard of for someone my age, and she was in a MD, PhD program. So, that diagnosis threw us a curveball. For the next 11 years...

Suzanne Jabour: “I've experienced so much loss in my life and the loss of people who were and still are very close to me. Both of my parents are deceased, my son died via suicide, and my brother just died of a massive heart attack. Their stamps will always be on my heart.  What I have come to know is that all of us leave a stamp on people's hearts. Whether we're doing it intentionally...

Suzanne Jabour: “The world today is in the worst version of tribalism. We are collectively being distracted by all of the surface differences. All of the tiny differences and all of the big differences. However you perceive those differences. Some of us see them as inconsequential and some of us see them as really important and critical, but they're really not. The truth is that at our essence...

Suzanne Jabour: “When I think about fear, I think about all the ways we react when we don't understand something or when we don't know how to respond if we feel uncomfortable, threatened or unsure. There are so many times when we can go to fear. We're definitely programmed for fear. We often get stuck in a fear loop unnecessarily. The fear feels real when it isn't. When we see each other as a thre...

Suzanne Jabour: “I believe we are always choosing between fear and love. And that we're here to be LOVE. Not to be loved. Not to be lovable. Our essence is LOVE, which gives us that feeling of connectedness. That sense of community.  I am here to be LOVE is how I approach the world, and I have for a very long time. When we are choosing LOVE that's how we can sense the people we resonate wi...
