Social Harmony - Time to Talk

Today I'm joined by Kam Knight - an author, event speaker and powerhouse behind the concept of Internal Resistance.

While all of us are familiar with procrastination, unfinished projects and 'running out of steam', Kam's research highlights other factors at play within the brain that actively work against achieving to our full potential and holding us back in many areas of life.

As we talk, I learn how Internal Resistance manifests in several different ways, such as hostility, perfectionism, avoidance and many more - however, while these scenarios are often passed off as a mental block of some description, there is a way to bypass this resistance and reach new levels of performance, confidence and self-awareness.

Kam works with the individual (or group) to understand basic principles of what it is that we want, how to take those steps towards attainment and the final leap to achieve it - often itself more difficult than anticipated, another symptom of internal resistance.

Today I'm joined by Jess Marie, licensed and certified coach and owner of Unapologetic Life Coaching and host of her podcast Unapologetically Overcoming.

Jess has faced her own struggles in life and after leaving a violent partnership, she began taking steps towards turning her pain into strength - becoming unapologetically herself after having spent years putting others first and neglecting her own needs.

In her work as a coach and podcaster, Jess provide a space for others to talk openly and honest about all the parts of themselves - particularly the parts we'd rather keep hidden - in a non-judgmental way with the aim of looking at them as part of an amazing person who has dealt with life and is still standing.

Speaking first about how she brought herself through difficult times and then into a place of acceptable and eventually radical self-care, Jess uses her experience in order to relate and connect on a fundamental level to bring about change that sticks by guiding you to the solutions that already reside within.

Today I'm joined by Lori Simons and Stephanie Rickman - two women who didn't know one another and had never met until an extraordinary situation brought them together.

Lori had re-entered the dating pool following an earlier divorce and time raising her son. After setting up a profile on a dating app, she met a man who "checked all the boxes" and after being together for four years felt that they would see out their lives together until a fateful day when Lori found him with another woman and things changed dramatically.

Stephanie had been dating and was in a relationship for five years. By her own admission she had "never loved a man as much as I loved him" and her kids adored him - things had progressed to a stage where Stephanie believed that she had found her person. However...

After Lori caught her boyfriend out, she went on the group 'Are We Dating The Same Guy' and posted a photo - it was at this point that Stephanie and others made the same connection and reached out, each with their own stories that spoke of their own relationships with this man and things then started to fall into place.

In an age of dating app culture and social media overreach, this story highlights the heartbreak, opportunity for manipulation and terrifying consequences of how someone with the motivation to deceive in this manner can easily make contact with someone and infiltrate their lives. While I firmly believe that the majority of people are well-intentioned, Lori and Stephanie's story serves as both a reminder that devious people exist but also that the power of friendship can help us rebuild.

Today I'm joined by Nichole Hensley Henson, the co-founder of the Fullness of Joy Ministry to talk about her life which began in darkness and began a long road to her current state of peace.

Michelle's life began surrounded by domestic violence and from the age of 7 she was sexually and mentally abused by her biological father, in addition to being exposed to satanic and occult practices. This continued due in no small part to the mental stranglehold placed upon her by her father and she kept this inside up until almost in her teenage years when she began acting out in extreme ways and began counselling.

While the initial counselling sessions brought the abuse into the open, this did nothing to improve her domestic life and contributed to her Nichole's mental health struggles which included OCD, clinical depression, PTSD and dissociative identity disorder. When years of subsequent therapists and medication did not change things, Nichole was at the point of just giving up when she learned about spiritual warfare which was the catalyst for her to finally heal.

While having grown up around the church, Nichole finally concluded that she needed to give herself fully to God and describes the moment when the demons - that she formerly believed were just character traits - were cast out from her body and the peace that has washed over her since then, while also suffering none of the symptoms of her previous diagnosed conditions.

Nichole now devotes herself to doing as God requires and through the Fullness of Joy Ministry spends her time consulting, teaching and writing in order to help others who have suffered torment of their own so that they can heal and nurture their own relationship with God.

Today I'm joined by Michelle Valiukinas Tisdahl, founder and executive director of The Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation to talk about her work and - perhaps more poignantly - the circumstances that led up to it.

Michelle talks from the heart about her struggles to conceive and carry a pregnancy, the steps taken to become pregnant, the pain of losing her first child Sweet Pea to miscarriage and the awful day in which she was admitted to hospital when she was forced to give birth to her daughter Colette 16 weeks prematurely. Though Colette was born and taken to NICU, sadly she passed 9 days later.

In the midst of her own grief and trying to make sense of the situation, Michelle couldn't help but see the pain of others who were struggling with their own grief and loss but also the financial strain placed upon them by the U.S. healthcare system. While acknowledging that she was in a financially privileged situation, Michelle sought to help families who had been affected by their own loss but were forced back to work in a state of physical and emotional distress due to the cost of their time in hospital.

On September 7th of that year (Colette's original due date) Michelle launched her foundation with the aim of providing financial assistance to families dealing with high-risk or complicated pregnancies, NICU stays or loss, in addition to advocating for institutional reforms in order to provide better care in traumatic times and working alongside families to provide emotional support.
