Helene Neville- cancer mindset, grandma, medicine today
My guest today is Helene Neville- arguably one of the greatest athletes of all time. What she accomplished back in 2010 got my attention- running a full 26 2/10 mile marathon every day… for 93 days in a row… from the Pacific Ocean in California to the Atlantic Ocean in Florida… taking the southern route across the US… in the summertime… at age 49... after surviving years of treatments for cancer. And all along the way, Helene gave speaking presentations & visited hospitals. Of course, I want to know how she prepared & what she ate. But more importantly I want to know her mindset through it all. Because her story is still very much ‘alive’. If you know anyone with serious illness or is grieving, please share the HOPE that is in this episode.

Lin Jones on WHY we're talking about what we're talking about!
​From perspectives (based on experience) regarding Food to getting through Tragedy to being able to Adapt. I think today’s conversation will give everyone a big dose of HOPE… all things ultimately work out. Her resume is long and impressive. From registered nurse to co-owner & head chef in a restaurant to a full time Mom & caregiver to elderly family members to sound engineer for over 1,000 school presentations to co-author and now a Grandma to 8, Lin has lived a full life. I’m sure there will be encouraging takeaways from our conversation…

David DeNotaris- what's your disability? incredible perspective!
At 4 years old the doctors told David DeNotaris and his parents that over the next few years he would become Totally Blind. It’s an amazing story about how his Dad & Mom reacted to the news and how they trained their son to become a Possibility Thinker. Along the way David became a world champion powerlifter, led the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry Office of Vocational Rehabilitation & authored “Feeling Your Way Through Life”. Everyone will be able to use some part of this story!

Garry Ingraham- LGBTQ questions
My guest is Garry Ingraham- Executive Director of the Love & Truth Network In an attempt to better understand what is going on in this world I hardly recognize, I stumbled into an event my church hosts a couple of times a year. It was an ‘open to the greater community’ LGBTQ forum. My idea was to sit in the back & see what the conversation was about. I was drawn in by Garry’s compelling story as well as his take on the current state of the LGBTQ movement. I’m sure you will be as well. And I know he’s legit since my awesome pastor & neighbor fully endorses Garry & his work. Some takeaways for me from our conversation: • Ideas on ‘what to do’ regarding your child’s sexual identity. • How ‘nice & kind’ Christians are not prepared to deal with ‘not normal’ behaviors with love and truth. • Sometimes the best gift a parent can give is not what a child wants. • Being intentional about finding a Band of Brothers & a Band of Sisters. • And so much more… Garry is an ordained pastor & author of a new book ‘Am I Gay?’. In 2013, he and his wife Melissa founded Love & Truth Network, a national, non-profit ministry focused on equipping Christian leaders to develop safe and transformational environments with the purpose of restoring sexual wholeness and Biblical identity. Garry and Melissa have two wonderful boys and are humbly grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord together.

Do you want healthy, strong, fit children? A powerful lesson that most will never learn.

Almost 20 years ago I met someone who has been instrumental in changing the trajectory of not only my health and my family’s health but he has also changed mindsets.

I’ve been blessed to have 2 people in my life who have continually modeled the question ‘what is humanly possible?’ And have demonstrated to me how I can apply that in my life. That approach to life is not limited to only physical things & comes with a mindset few ever consider.

I came to Jay seeking help for one of my children and stepped into a world I never imagined. His system is not just for the elite athletes he has trained but for all human beings. It’s to give everyone the opportunity to live as the miracle we are all gifted by birth. Some choose to apply it to sport, some choose to apply it to normal daily activities. It is for those of any age.

When I met Jay, I had been working in the personal fitness field and was performing as a strength athlete for over 20 years and I thought I knew fitness. I didn’t. Not only did I have to learn new things but unlearn so much.

My hope for today’s podcast is that you can have ears to hear what is being discussed. It can change your life for the better as it did mine.

Welcome Jay Schroeder!
