Leslie Pitt Schneider: How a childhood accident motivated her to follow her purpose and help children all over the world
Oh man, are you going to love this interview today. I got a chance to sit down with Leslie Pitt Schneider: lawyer, former executive, writer, lover of life and founder of Project Lolo. I met Leslie years ago as she was embarking on the journey of starting her own non-profit and leaving her corporate job. She talks about the toxicity of her job, how it started to affect her self worth and health and how none of it was worth it. Leslie tells us her story about losing her limb at age of 6 and having to live with a prosthetic – which is now a major inspiration for Project Lolo, which helps children who need orthopedic care or assistive mobility devices because of congenital deformities, illness or injuries. We also talk about using the word special abilities and not disabilities and her new book that is meant to inspire children to own their uniqueness. I love this woman and I love her work. This interview is great for anyone who wants to feel inspired that their dream matters and learn how to go after it. This is a public episode.

Emotions and health with Dr Eva Selhub
Boy oh boy, am I excited to bring you this interview. I met Dr. Eva in Boston during my Mastermind and had so many aha moments listening to her speak. I have been knee deep in these conversations and experiences around emotions and their direct impact on health and she explained sooo much I have been thinking about. If you struggle with any kind of trauma, dis-ease in the body or anxiety and panic, this podcast is for you. Here's what we covered:How she came to bridge western and eastern medicine together when she got poked with a needle from an AIDS patient.How our emotions and thoughts determine the health of our bodyWe talk about her book, The Love Response, and she explains how we can reverse trauma and negative experiences and heal ourselves.What Forrest bathing is and why you should do it.So many people ask why this is important if you are fit and well and no apparent dis-ease or pain in the body. It's because I am learning that our subconscious learns to suppress so much that we are not even aware how this may be affecting us. This conversation is a total game changer.

The danger behind fitting in
Someone recently set me on fire by saying that I should make sure my kids fit into the American society by going out my way to provide cultural experiences because their parents are immigrant and God forbid they stood out. I think this is how we create cages for our kids and ourselves and it's a danger to society and I explain why. This is a public episode.
