Marcy Langlois was born with a cleft lip and palate, her childhood was marked by an excruciating series of surgical procedures, 23 in all, before the age of 18. Because she looked and talked differently than the other kids, she was relentlessly teased and bullied. Her journey into adulthood was marked by challenging, traumatic, and downright tragic waypoints: Coming out as a queer woman, involvement in a multiple-fatality car accident, and a devastating descent into addiction and chronic illness.With all that, and although she got off to a rough start in life (her words), she has discovered one thing, that no matter what obstacles are in your path, Living Beyond Your Limits is not just a dream—it's infinitely possible. She has overcome all of these experiences and now thrives in every area of her life. She has learned how to heal her body using the power of the mind, regulating the nervous system and embodying herself. This is a truly transformational story and simply fantastic!

Gerard Grogans has a very powerful message to share, and one we should all listen to in this really fascinating episode! A passing comment from his mother when he was young, about how he 'looked tired' completely changed the course of Gerard's life! The comment had a deeper meaning to Gerard and he would spend his life saving up for eye surgery to 'fix' the dark circles around his eyes. Of course his Mother had meant nothing from the comment, but it became all Gerard could think about. Eventually, a botched surgery took Gerard to the depths of darkness and questioning everything. But in the darkness, Gerard found strength, and purpose, and began to shed his fears and embrace his belief and love for himself. It's very inspiring!!
Gerard now teaches how the Pygmalion Effect leads to the conscious and unconscious decision we make in our lives and how that imprinting affects everything we do.

One day in her car, Alyssa Decker was scanning the radio stations for something to listen to. She came across a woman who was telling the story of her marriage, and she was immediately captivated. The woman on the radio was describing Alyssa's marriage, almost exactly. For some reason, it had not occurred to her that there might be other marriages like hers. As the woman was talking, Alyssa was driving down the road with tears streaming down her face. She felt so seen, like the woman on the radio somehow knew her situation. And then the voice on the radio said the words that would set Alyssa's world spinning on its axis, never to recover. “I realized I was in an abusive marriage, and that I couldn’t stay.” Alyssa immediately thought 'NO. I’m not in an abusive marriage! My marriage is just hard. One day we’ll figure it out, and it will get better’. The trouble was, she knew that truth, and it felt like a punch to the gut that stole her breath away. Now that she knew, she couldn’t go back. Finally, she faced reality with the help of a support group. She started learning how to create a different conversation in her mind, which led to calmer reactions, which led to a happier life and freedom!

It was a blessing, because she knew she would start her business after that job ended.

After a lot of deliberation, She had it removed and discovered soon after that the lump was not growing at all, did not need to be removed, and was in fact a typo!

Lisa used to do crossfit and P90X and now can only do a 20 min walk with the dog, 10 min of light exercise, otherwise she won't have enough energy for the day. It's been 10 years and her energy has not returned. Join us for an extraordinary story of what might have been!…. thank you Lisa!

Bambi Lynn joins us this week for a story of redemption against all the odds. Bambi endured some horrific abuse, from her mother and her father, her uncle, and various partners. It’s harrowing at times, and no one should have to go through what Bambi has been through. Although tough to hear, this is a story of triumph over trauma, a raw and gritty tale that plays out like a bleak and hard to watch movie. The ending however, is one of light, from the darkness. It took Bambi thirty-two years to except her name that she was given, but now she says her name with pride. Ever since her 7th grade teacher told her she had a gift to write, she has never stopped. And now she has her first published book and many more to come

Sherry Buckley-Brown was 12 years old when her father came upstairs and said ‘i just killed your Mom’. After years of physical abuse, he had finally done the unthinkable. Sherry has written a book, about her struggle as a young girl, as she grappled with the profound loss, and how her life was torn apart, from friends, to school, to where she lived. Her siblings were separated and she describes it like ‘a bomb gong off’ in their lives. Sherry’s initial response was acting out, fighting, and keeping people at a distance, and ending up in an abusive relationship herself! But, she did not want to be beaten by this life changing event, and she started to believe that she was going to survive, she was going to get through, and she was going to be OK. Join us for one of the most incredible, raw, and emotive episodes we have ever had on the podcast. The journey through adversity, and of eventual triumph, and the continued journey of discovery, is unmissable! Thank you Sherry!
