Living a life built on a foundation of addiction and deceit? Logan Hufford shares his profound and deeply personal journey through sexual addiction, starting with early exposure to magazines and leading to a series of destructive behaviours that nearly destroyed his marriage and family. He opens up about the harrowing moment his wife issued an ultimatum, forcing him to confront his addiction head-on and embark on an arduous path to sobriety.

Throughout this episode, Logan discusses the gruelling process of recovery, emphasizing the critical role of accountability, same-gender mentorship, and the essential support found in recovery groups.
By sharing his story, Logan aims to shed light on the pervasive impact of sexual addiction on relationships and the necessity of ongoing effort and support in overcoming such addictions.

Logan's transformation from a deceitful individual to someone striving for honesty and emotional openness is captivating. He reflects on the importance of vulnerability, open communication, and unconditional love in personal growth and family healing. Logan's leadership in recovery groups and his commitment to supporting others highlight the power of sharing personal stories and offering hope to those navigating similar challenges. This is an episode that, although you may not relate to, there are so many nuggets of insightfulness to grow our compassion for us humans. I hope you see that, too.

Let's gain wisdom from his story.

Eric Spitz is here to explain how he combines his passions of running and travelling by running a marathon in each of the United States’ 50 states before he turns 40. He also plans to have a book written by then. 

He is a member of the 50 States Marathon Club, and he’s already knocked 16 states off his list. Eric’s been writing about his experiences in each state on his Juxtaposed Journeys blog. Juxtaposed Journeys is also the name of his podcast, where he interviews other individuals who are following their life passions. This is an interesting story that offers new knowledge to the listener. Whether you’re a runner, thinking about starting to run, or are quite happy never having to run, ever, it makes no difference.

Tonia Cordi is here to share how it started for her and how she helps others with her five-step process based on her experience with her clients. Her process encompasses intentions and values — everything from personal growth and sustainability to organizing and creating systems. She started her career as a teacher and, after 12 years, decided to follow her passion for helping people create spaces that match their ideal lives. Soon after starting this, she realized that while an organized space can be transformative, it was only the first step in making space grow and evolve. So Tonia applied her background in education, the arts, psychology, and some trial and error to create an integrated process for individuals to meet their intentions, goals, and values. 

Tonia Cordi is the owner of Time & Space Solutions. She helps people de-clutter and redesigns their lives, so they can slow down, reconnect to their values, and live out their days with purpose. This involves examining inner behavioral patterns that create the clutter and then learning how to organize life better. Tonia looks at deeper patterns and how they show up in their host's external world. Your space and how you spend your time mirror what's going on inside you.

I am delighted to have a fellow organizer on the show. Organized people are fantastic. 

Let's enjoy her story.

Carline Crevecoeur  is here to share why she wrote her memoirs and teach us some lessons along the way. I think you're going to like this awe-inspiring, resilient person.
Carline is a Haitian American obstetrician, gynecologist, and now also an author. She immigrated to the US at the age of 5 and was raised in Brooklyn, New York, where she went into the medical field. After  20 years of medical service in New York and Pennsylvania, she gave up her career to raise and homeschool her five children. Carline was diagnosed with colon cancer and given 36 months to live. Eight years later, she's still very much alive. Following that battle, and now that her children are adults, she decided to write her memoir titled, Pressure Makes Diamonds: a journey from Homeschooling to the Ivy League - A Parenting Story. She is not only an author now but also the first black woman elected to a seat on the State College Area School District of Pennsylvania.

William "Bill" Cohen shares how he turned his pain and personal loss due to his mother’s Alzheimer’s into passion and an “encore career”.   We talk about managing care and practicing self-care and prevention. We talk about dementia, Alzheimer’s, their symptoms and treatments.  And also things not to do for a person living with dementia.

Bill is a caregiving support consultant, a very interesting job. We tend to always talk about the patient, but neglect talking about the roles of caregivers.  Just like patients, caregivers could feel alone and exhausted.  Bill guides caregivers along on their journeys.  He assists them in reducing the overwhelming stress that can come along with the job.
His creative and loving mother, Sheila, lost her home in Hurricane Katrina.  Then, her health, artistic skills, and life were ravaged by Alzheimer's.  Bill was her primary care partner for 10 years.

He followed that up with "You Love, and You Learn," a romantic drama about his journey to gain emotional intelligence. We touch on his life story in this episode.

How does one transform from a high-powered corporate executive to a free-spirited nomad? Jenny shares her incredible journey from a life driven by seriousness and fear to one led by heartfulness and play. She shares her early years in an emotion-suppressing family and her rise in the corporate world, where she felt increasingly disconnected from her true self.

Jenny Lincoln is a story-weaving sorceress and wise nomadic sage. With 30+ years in the Corporate trenches, Jenny balances authority with gentleness, serving truth with love & grace. Her talks are lightning bolts to your heart & soul, igniting you into action! Jenny is the visionary behind HUMNAV ~ the HUMan NAVigation Practice—your inner GPS for all things leadership.

We discuss the need for personal and professional disruption, exploring how breaking away from comfort zones can lead to tremendous growth. Using examples from early online media's disruption of traditional industries and the evolving role of artificial intelligence, we discuss the importance of embracing change. Jenny also shares her career transformation from finance to psychology and behavioural coaching, fueled by a desire for more human-centred work and fulfillment.

Emotions are at the heart of our final discussions, as we navigate through loss, grief, and transformation themes. Jenny shares her experience of hitting rock bottom and finding a way back to self-love and purpose, likening her journey to a caterpillar's metamorphosis into a butterfly. We also highlight the concept of the "sage age" and the empowering journey of turning 60, emphasizing the importance of heart in professional roles. How Jenny reconnected with her empathic nature through a nomadic lifestyle and how embracing internal feedback and intuition has liberated her to live authentically.

Joe Sherman, MD

Joe is a pediatrician, a coach, and a consultant. He started his journey as a pediatrician helping communities in Uganda and Bolivia. Despite his successes and adventures after his return to the US, Joe experienced profound burnout. He found it necessary to leave medicine temporarily to reflect on why he became a physician in the first place and whether he should return. Joe wrestled with his identity being defined by his profession rather than who he was deeper down. That journey took him where he is now, a  coach and a consultant. Joe helps healthcare professionals find relief from burnout, rediscover the joy and fulfillment of practicing medicine, and achieve career longevity.

Harry Derbitsky & Joe Fletcher share how the Mental Health Transformations group was formed, and they explain the unique perspective for people suffering from mental health and struggling through recovery. Through their experiences, the group knows that it is possible to heal and experience the freedom of a healthy mental state, away from addiction and severe mental distress, by applying three Universal Principles:  Mind, Consciousness and Thought.

 Harry Derbitsky is the President of ACT (Advanced Coaches Training), a coach and an author. He specializes in mental health and addiction as well as other related topics. His understanding comes from his teacher, Sydney Bank, who first articulated the Three Universal Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought.  

Joe Fletcher is one of the six (6) Mental Health Transformations group members and their communication manager. Each member has made a transformational shift from their mental distress and addiction to having a new life of wellbeing.  They are now looking to spread their combined experiences.

Jennifer M. Alemany shares her struggles as a young girl from a single mom living in Brooklyn.  Jennifer was the first to graduate from college in her family. After college, she became a live-in nanny until she could figure out what was next. With the support of her mom’s wisdom, she then embarked on a 22-year human resources career in the academic and corporate worlds. After losing two of her loves, her mother, and then her fiancé,  she realized that she had also lost herself.  Jennifer then started to write; it was a talent her elementary teachers had pointed out when she was a child.  Sitting by the pool, surrounded by nature, her first book Mark, My Love, came to life.  It’s an honest, inspiring memoir,  a journey of loss and anguish but with something better within reach over the horizon.

Formerly in corporate human resources, Jennifer is now an author, a spiritualist and has been a Yogi for 12 years.  Born in Brooklyn, New York, Jennifer has a spicy mix of Latin American backgrounds (Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Cuban).

Jennifer currently lives in New York, with her dog Leo Luna.

Anne Round  shares her journey to become a better human being with us via spiritual growth.  She explains how it allowed her to appreciate and love herself more, evolving from controlling and lim­it­ing be­liefs to know­ing herself as love.  Now she flows with and trusts in life. It gave her inspiration to write her book "Essences of Truth Inspirations for Loving Life.”  Listen in to hear of her struggles with the book and Anne's steps to finally publish it.
"We are Love, Joy, Freedom and Peace."

Anne is a retired physiotherapist, a wife, a mother, a sailor, and an au­thor.  She lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Enjoy!

About the book:
Essences of Truth is a collection of 29 essays that can open us to new ways of thinking about life. Anne has embraced these philosophies over her lifetime, like sipping nectar from a flower to enhance her journey. The essence is to love everything just as it is and live life wholeheartedly from a contemplative perspective. We are inspired to love ourselves more and more regardless of what is appearing in our lives. A life that allows love to guide the way, peace to descend within, and joy to erupt into the world is a blessing for all of us.

Jenny Toh.

Until recently, Jenny Toh was a Malaysian and Singaporean lawyer. On the personal front, she felt complete.  A supportive husband, three wonderful children, close-knit friends, and her church community.  However, she felt that she was not living her life to its fullest potential. She was looking for a new purpose in her career. 

Jenny shares her story of transitioning careers,  her doubts and her leap of faith. It all began with an idea and then with a strong desire that wasn't going away. We discussed her challenges as a perfectionist, her impostor syndrome, and how her lawyering skills complement her as a fantastic coach to support others in their journeys of searching for purpose.

Enjoy!

Dorsey Ross is a youth minister, speaker, author and podcaster. In today’s episode, Dorsey shares his story of love, persistence and overcoming challenges.  He was born in the late 70s with a congenital disability known as Apert's Syndrome.  When he was born, the doctors gave Dorsey's parents no hope for survival and advised them to put him into an institution.  However, his parents believed that God would do great things in Dorsey's life.  He grew up with his parents and the help of their church’s community support.  Growing up was very difficult.  He had to overcome years of harmful comments directed at him and 68 operations.  His high school teachers told Dorsey that he would not make it to college.  But despite all the odds being against him after years of hard work and perseverance, he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Youth Ministry. 
He currently lives in Philadelphia with his 90-year-old father. Dorsey’s thick skin has made him strong, tenacious and gave him his persevering character.

Walter Wu.

Walter Wu is a Canadian Paralympic swimmer who set records at the 1996, 2000, and 2004 Summer Paralympics. He won 14 medals before his retirement following the 2004 Athens Games.

Although he’s humble, Walter does have bragging rights beyond his medals.  They include being an Olympic torchbearer, a member of the  Terry Fox Hall of Fame,  and a BC Disabled Athlete of the Year.  Since retirement from sporting competition, he’s spent time as a public speaker for local schools.

I was delighted to have Walter share his swimming story on the show.  I found the amount of help an athlete needs to reach that level very interesting.  He leaves nothing hidden, Walter’s story is filled with the good, the bad,  and the ugly.

Enjoy!

This is the  last episode of Season Two! Thank you for your support.

Allan " Alonzo" Wind talks about his first book, ANDEAN ADVENTURES: An Unexpected Search for Meaning, Purpose and Discovery Across Three Countries.  It covers his personal development as a young man who uprooted himself from his American comfort to become a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Ecuador and then later service in Bolivia and Peru.  This decision to leave the USA shaped who he became personally and professionally.  Allan shares his belief in the value of volunteering and the immense personal rewards that can be gained.  He also goes into how he’s bridged the gap between his Jewish upbringing and his later embracing of the Baha’i faith.

Allan is a retired Senior Foreign Service Officer from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).  He worked on diplomatic assignments in Peru, Nicaragua, Angola, Nigeria, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Africa and the Southern Africa Regional Missions. He provided oversight to U.S. government foreign aid development and humanitarian assistance and supported U.S. Ambassadors as their senior development officer on multiple country teams. He also worked for NGOs elsewhere in Latin America and as the Global Programme Coordinator for the International Save the Children Alliance Secretariat in London, UK.

I hope that after listening to his episode, you decide to grab a copy of his best-selling book Andean Adventures. It is also now an audiobook: https://tinyurl.com/AudioAlonzo.  
It’s an Insightful and entertaining book, a window into the life and work of a foreign service officer, his life stories and for anyone contemplating volunteering or careers in foreign service.  

Allan and his wife currently reside in Fairfax County, Virginia, in the United States, while their adult daughter is in Africa on her own adventures. Mr. Wind serves on the Boards of Directors of different nongovernmental organizations, including Hunger Relief International,  supporting their efforts with the neediest in Guatemala and Haiti in any way he can.

Kai Hutchful, Maddie Knight, Samuel Menis, Matthew Tugonon, and Jade Iwata are my guests for this episode.

I'm excited to try something different today. I got this idea back in the fall of 2020 when one of today's guests, Jade Iwata, visited us from Calgary and agreed to test my new recording equipment by being interviewed. I asked her a few questions about life and was touched by her brilliant answers.   So I invited 4 other 20-year-olds to document their outlook on life. They all answered the same six questions. 

Today, I present these 5 young people by asking one question at a time and presenting each of their answers before moving onto the next question.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating this episode. It took me a while to put it together as I had the concept but struggled with the technicalities. 

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to connect to these bright young adults. I was touched by their willingness to be interviewed, their candour, authenticity and vulnerability. I plan to invite them back 5 years from now to see how their perspective may have changed. 

We're led to believe that wisdom comes with age. After speaking to my guests, I think it's clear that they have plenty of wisdom already. Maybe wisdom improves with age. These young men and women show vision and a passion for grabbing life by the horns.

Thank you so much to Jade, Maddie, Kai, Matthew and Samuel for spending your time to share with me. 

Enjoy!

Susan Nassiripour

Susan is a native of Vancouver. She discovered her passion for travel while in her twenties, which eventually led to her move to China. Her original plan was to live and work in China for a couple of years while travelling Asia before moving back to Canada to settle down. Susan doesn't open up about her childhood often but decided to share a little with us today because her life was not her own until she escaped her violent father. Once Susan had her freedom and the ability to design her own life and realized how happy her lifestyle in China made her (being a teacher while travelling several times a year), she decided not to give in to social pressures and continue living the life she chooses. Susan has now lived in China for over 13 years and has been to 94 countries.

Lynn O'Reilly wasn't expecting how her new passion would help her connect with her husband, with nature and even with strangers.

Today Lynn shares her love for riding and a few short stories covering her trips and adventures.

Listening to her had me wondering if I would be brave enough to have similar adventures with Dave, my husband.

Lynn took up adventure motorcycling in 2012 when she met her now-husband, Peter, who had been riding for a few years. He said that there were two things that he loved to do. Skiing in the winter and ride his motorcycle in the summer. So as she loves picking up new skills and having adventures, she took on the challenge of learning to ride.

Gail Christel Behrend takes us on her spiritual journey that eventually led her to explore human energy and alternative healing as a side-vocation.  A graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH) in Florida, she has been an energy practitioner in Vancouver Canada for the last 20 years.

Gail is an engineer, teacher, writer, and speaker. She shares her story of experiencing a spontaneous spiritual opening that changed her life, transforming her from skeptic to seeker midway through a successful 20-year engineering career.

In addition to her corporate training development business, she also offers public workshops on energy and is a certified Infinite Possibilities trainer, based on the bestselling book “Infinite Possibilities – The Art of Living Your Dreams” by Mike Dooley – one of the teachers in the film “The Secret”. Gail recently published the second edition of her book “Energy Is Real.” A Practical Guide for Managing Personal Energy in Daily Life" which she co-authored with Claudette Bouchard, a fellow energy practitioner.

Dr. Leila Sahabi. ND joins me to share her health journey and how she learned to better listen to her body. Through her own struggling experience, she tells us to trust our body as "we know our body the best way and form." 

She's passionate about employing naturopathic therapies to treat the patient rather than the condition. I found it refreshing that she doesn't suggest many expensive assessment panels or numerous supplements unless there is a specific purpose.

Laila is staying current by attending several courses a year to learn the newest protocols in her field. She has a 4-level training program in Advanced Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) trained by Dr. Neal Rouzier, the leading expert and educator in BHRT. With her knowledge of Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy, she has mostly focused on women's health. This why I went to see her back in 2014 and referred her to all my friends over the years. One thing I appreciate amongst many is that she doesn't rush the visits. She is patient and listens to my concerns. 

Dr. Sahabi is a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) from Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine and undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia with a double major in biology and psychology. She has her practice in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Enjoy!
