We welcome Lee Tomlinson, the author of Compassion Heals: From Self-care to Healthcare. He’s also affectionately known as Patient Lee from his TED Talk, where he wowed his audience with more than showing up in a patient gown.
He’d be the first to tell you he led a charmed life until his world crashed around him when his doctors discovered Stage 3+ throat cancer.
Lee will share with us:

• What inspired him to create “The C.A.R.E. Effect Movement

• How does trauma is the result when treatment is lacking in compassion

• What is compassion, and why is it a powerful change agent

• The life-saving benefits of giving others compassionate care

Plus more…

More About Lee: After a lifetime of extraordinary experiences as a highly successful entrepreneur and long-term customer service expert, Lee Tomlinson faced a battle with Stage 3+ throat cancer. His journey through cancer and encounters with compassion-less care led him to severe depression and thoughts of suicide. It opened his eyes to the life-saving benefits of compassionate care.

Fortunately, a deeply kind and caring physician renewed Lee’s will to live and inspired him to create “The C.A.R.E. Effect Movement.” Now a man on a mission, Lee has discovered his true life’s purpose: to inspire, motivate and challenge medical professionals to provide nothing less than their most compassionate care for their patients, colleagues, hospitals, and most importantly—themselves.

When everyone else gave up, this week’s guest Noah Hammond Tyrrell went to “work.” Noah, a spiritual life & business coach, got a call that no one ever wants… his father had been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Noah heard the resignation in everyone’s voices—doctors, family, even his dad. But that’s when Noah went to work…

He went home and dug into the trainings he’d taken in the prior years with a natural healer "who’d cured thousands using ancient wisdom." Noah reviewed other wellness approaches he’d studied, including the benefits of juicing, the use of cannabis—particularly hemp oils, and other ‘natural’ modalities. Before long, Noah was gently coercing his reluctant father to drink massive amounts of beet and carrot juice, along with taking hemp oil capsules. Noah says, “then the miracle happened; not only did dad learn to love the protocol, but the tumor began to shrink, and soon it was gone!” The doctors are mystified—but not Noah and his family.

The following month, Noah and his wife launched a company named in honor of the fact that dad was now “feeling good….” Today, the Feel Good Hemp company (FeelGoodHemp.org) focuses on educating people about hemp oil and selling (Hemp) CBD oil products to support wellness and a peaceful state of mind.* They also launched the Feel Good Library, a free platform full of empowering courses, because, as Noah says, “After an experience like this one, the career life coach in me couldn’t help but give back. We offer all these courses and techniques for self-help and self-healing because YOUR power to heal is immense and not to be underestimated!” (FeelGoodLibrary.com).

In our time together, Noah shares learnings from his library, including the “7 Levels of Change,” a framework to access your inner power and live life to the fullest! And,
• The remarkable impact of one person’s actions in the face of everyone’s resignation to a medical diagnosis
• The possible benefits of CBD hemp oils and how to find the best products for your needs
• The power of HOPE and the natural healing abilities of the body when supported in a natural way and a resource with simple free courses to support your wellness and well-being.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Carly Hudson, D.C. As an infant, Dr. Carly suffered a life-threatening illness. She was left with “invisible handicaps,” including balance disorders, muscle spasticity, and hearing loss. She had to begin again to learn how her body worked, and so began her path of life-long learning and healing. With the “gift of this injury,” Dr. Carly has spent her life exploring how conscious self-care influences our mind, body, and spirit.

She shares with us essential shifts in self-care, including the beneficial things we can do right now instead of the constant search for a silver bullet, including
• The truth about your “issues are in your tissues,”
• Her lessons learned from treating her patients and her own lifetime of handicaps, chronic pain, illness, and the pursuit of healing,
• Why striving for “perfect” health is an illusion and ways to optimize the health you have now,
• Empowered ways to make healthy choices and become more resilient plus so much more…

Have you ever thought about your legacy? I know some people think that can be a bit grim, but since my diagnosis, I’ve been thinking a lot about creating my legacy before time runs out... And, I see a strong association between legacy and patient advocacy. Maybe like you, I must make meaning of what life has thrown my way.

Now, I’m passionate about others not having to experience autoimmune and wanting others to optimize their health 'before it's too late.' So when my friend Susie Briscoe released her latest book, “Ascension to Legacy: How to Live Your Legacy in Your Lifetime,” I asked her to share with us what she’s learned about legacy. Susie first defines it for us "...legacy is something you create during your lifetime with the sole idea of benefiting generations who will follow you, whether in your immediate family or whether you broaden your horizons with the intention to benefit humanity.”

In this episode, she reflects on her experiences of:
• The multiple ways to reassess your life,
• How to uncover the kind of legacy you want to be remembered for?
• How to be your best self by looking at the light and shadows,
• Her own and others developing their passion(s) into legacy,
plus so much more...



More about our guest: Susie Briscoe, Chair of Acer Coaching Associates
International Business & Legacy Mentor and author of the International Best Seller “Colour Your Legacy” and “Ascension to Legacy: How to Live Your Legacy in Your Lifetime.”

Susie has identified ‘Leading Legacy’ work as a significant part of her passion. She works with people who still have an empty feeling inside themselves for whatever reason and finds a way to give back to the world while recognizing the importance of not wasting time the clock continues to tick.

Susie shares, “My main buzz is helping women entrepreneurs understand their life purpose in such a way as to Live their Legacy as they walk through their life… moving them from a life of success to one of significance.”

Did you know 77% of doctor’s visits are due to stress-related and stress-exacerbated illness? Our guest, Michele Johnson MHS, PA-C, is a Duke-trained Family Medicine Physician Assistant and Certified Professional Life Coach. She has traveled to Cuba and China to learn holistic approaches to medicine and healing in addition to her traditional Western medicine training.

She is known for her unique approach to personalized healthcare and her trademark’ Stress Care as The New Healthcare.’ After being laid off from a failing telecom company and surviving on $141 per month in food stamps, Michele found herself living in a rat and roach-infested basement apartment. Despite the daily pain and fatigue of Fibromyalgia, she was denied Disability assistance and sunk deeper into depression and despair. She clung to her mother’s advice like a chant. “No matter what, you can always pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start all over again.” That advice played over and over as Michele explored ways to survive and conquer living with daily pain. She pulled her life together and now helps others to live a full life too. And now, with her book, ‘Pain Free: How to Live a Full Life Despite Chronic Pain,’ and her ‘The Pain Free PA Community,’ Michele is making a bigger impact in helpings others struggling with daily pain to lead happy, successful lives.

This week we welcome Minette Riordan Ph.D., a modern-day Renaissance woman: artist, writer, entrepreneur, and advocate for creativity being essential to our well-being. Creativity is not just about making art. It’s a way of thinking and being.

Dr. Minette is a creative catalyst and mentor for artists and creatives who fondly call her the “Unicorn Squirrel Wrangler.” Her clients appreciate her unique ability to help them manage their bright shiny idea syndrome, reduce stress, create well-being, and increase their productivity without getting bored or burnt out.

As the creator of the Emerge Method™, she shares from her breakthrough transformational process that helps you heal your relationship with your Inner Artist so you can emerge as your most authentic and creative self. Just some of what Dr. Minette shares with us is ways to:

• Turn your inner critic into an ally
• Discover how creativity can be a radical form of self-care
• Let go of pretty and focus on the play because creativity is not just about making art, it’s a way of being and so much more.

More about our Guest: A favorite quote of mine from Minette Riordan Ph.D., is “When you own your artistry, you can change the world with your creative gifts and talents.” Dr. Minette is a popular speaker and has appeared on television, radio, and podcasts worldwide. She has built two successful businesses and worked with thousands of clients in her 20-year entrepreneurial career. She has published three books, including her bestseller ‘The Artful Marketer, ‘ and is currently working on her fourth book about the Emerge Method™.

Life took her by surprise in 2017 when people started asking her to buy her paintings. “I’m not an artist,” she said. That moment was a turning point in her life and her career. Since then, she has been selling art and teaching others to courageously own their artistry through her coaching, online programs, and live events. Learn more at www.MinetteRiordan.com

One of my favorite quotes from this week’s guest, Dr. Sondra Barrett, is, “I find myself asking questions — where does knowledge come from, how can we make it useful for healing. That is what a scientist does — asks questions and looks for answers.” 

Dr. Barrett refers to herself as a ‘recovering scientist.’ With a Ph.D. in biochemistry, post-doctoral fellowship in immunology,  and former faculty at the University of California Medical School, she veered off from mainstream medical research to people caring and mind-body healing education. 

In this wide-ranging exploration of inner wisdom, we chat about healing beyond the physical to create more profound wellness and well-being. Her newest work goes back 40 years when she discovered, through the microscope, elemental sacred geometry in minerals associated with the Zodiac. 
   
Dr. Barrett shares with us her research on elemental wisdom and symbolism plus
• What is inner-knowing, and how does it manifest in our well-being

Here we are more than a year into the pandemic and many of our abilities to power through ‘all-this’ are stretched thin. What if you could calm down, refocus, and quell anxiety in as little as two minutes? Think about everything that would change if you could:
• Sleep better and focus more
• Not let anxiety rule your decisions
• Have more time for what’s important
• Let go of stress and angst effortlessly
• Vanquish fear and come from love and more….

In this awesome encore, we welcome back to the show Tamara Green and David Dachinger of LovingMeditations.com.

David’s results sparked his oncologist to ask what they were doing to remain so upbeat. “Whatever it is,” he said, “I want that for all of my patients and families!” It was a ‘light-bulb moment,’ and Loving Meditations was born.

Tamara Green, David's wife is known as “The Soul-centered Love and Relationship Expert” by 'Elle Magazine' and she is regularly featured as a behavioral health expert on Today.com, Bravo.com, YourTango.com, and DatingAdvice.com.
