  • The Myth of the Fearless Leader with Dr. Tonya Jackman Hampton

    The Myth of the Fearless Leader with Dr. Tonya Jackman Hampton
    Mar 17 2025
    We have heard the famous quote from Franklin Delano Roosevelt- The only thing we have to fear is fear itself- Well that’s a pretty big thing. Fear can hold us back from a lot of things and keep us from enjoying life to the fullest both personally and professionally. Especially if you are looking to move into a leadership role or find yourself in one. You might think to be a good leader you have to be fearless. That might not be the case. Today we are going to take a look at fear and how it can be a great teacher and actually a catalyst for growth, transformation, and authentic success. Dr. Tonya Jackman Hampton is an award winning executive, speaker, and author of the book The Myth of the Fearless Leader- Exploring a New Path Beyond Fight, Flight, and Freeze.

  • What Moms of Transgender People Want You to Know with Lisa McCourt

    What Moms of Transgender People Want You to Know with Lisa McCourt
    Feb 14 2025
    There is a lot of hate to go around these days and there seems to be a lot directed at the transgender community. There is so much misinformation and fear mongering going on. People seem to think that kids are having gender reassignment surgery at school and that their own lives are somehow threatened by someone who has the courage to try to live as authentically as they can. I invited Lisa McCourt on today- she is an author and podcaster as well as the mom of a transgender daughter. She’s going to dispel some myths and set the record straight. According to a recent Pew Research Study about 5% of young adults in the US say their gender is different from their sex assigned at birth. This study was from 2022, and the number is growing. A rising number of Americans say they know someone who is transgender and 5.1% of adults younger than 30 identify as trans or nonbinary. Gender-nonconforming people have always been here and aren’t going anywhere. Denying them rights doesn’t deny their existence. Surveys have shown that transgender adults make up about 1% of the U.S. population These people aren’t going away and yet the amount of hate and disinformation that is being spread about them continues to grow. I personally know a few people who are moms to transgender kids, actually both of the people I know their kids are now adults in their 20’s and 30’s. Lisa shares her story and dispels some myths about transgender people. Lisa McCourt is a bestselling author of more than 40 books for adults and children, the creator of the online Joy School and a podcast host of Joy Zone with Lisa McCourt on the MindBodySpirit.fm podcast network. She is also the mother of a transgender child and President of her PFLAG chapter in Florida. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Living Your Life Purpose with Victoria Shaw and April Wyett
    Jan 31 2025
    What does it mean to live your life purpose? I think we spend years trying to figure this out. When I was at Hay House radio, and we had people call in to talk to teachers like Caroline Myss and Dr. Wayne Dyer this was one of the most frequently asked questions by callers. Who doesn’t want someone to tell us what our purpose it but unfortunately it is a question that only we as individuals can answer. So today I have brought in two amazing teachers and podcast hosts from the network to help us answer this. Victoria Shaw is the host of Intuitive Connection here on MindBodySpirit.fm and she has some amazing credentials. Victoria works with people to help them get to the core of who they really are. Using her intuitive skills to help she has also earned PhD in Cognitive Psychology at Princeton University, and completed my postdoctoral training in Educational and Developmental Psychology at Columbia University Teachers College. She received a Masters of Counseling from Fairfield University, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor in the State of Connecticut. also the author of four books, for tweens, teens and adults and the mother of two spirited (now adult) children April Wyett is the host of the Living with Intention podcast and a wellness advocate who is passionate about helping people to heal and bring balance back into their lives.

  • Fire Up Your Relationship with Carolyn Sharp

    Fire Up Your Relationship with Carolyn Sharp
    Jan 10 2025
    Relationships and connections are some of the most important things we need to survive and thrive as human beings. If you look at psychologist Abraham Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs – love and belonging is right up there after safety and security and food and water. Managing and cultivating relationships is unfortunately not taught and it’s something we learn from our parents and observing other relationships. Not always the best examples. Today we are going to talk about cultivating and reigniting our relationships that may have gone stale. Let’s face it, in these times we are living in it’s easy to neglect what should be one of the most important things in our lives. Carolyn Sharp is a relationship resuscitator and experienced couples’ therapist who works with couples to help get them reconnected and thriving. Her new book is called Fire It Up- Four Secrets to Reigniting Intimacy and Joy in Your Relationship. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
