Overcoming Graduation

Ep 205 Hard Choices, Easy Life / Easy Choices, Hard Life

We've all been there where we have an idea bouncing around our heads, but can't seem to get up off the couch.

We want to get up early and get a jump on the day, but the bed is just TOO comfortable.

We want to start eating better, but the idea of eating an entire steaming hot pizza just sounds SO good.

I love the quote, "We become what we do habitually," and although it may seem like these small, isolated decisions aren't that important, when taken together they become everything.

Today, we'll talk about why its so important to have up to challenges and how to get started today.

Ep 195 Will Anyone Care?

We can often doubt our ability to make an impact on people.

When we are in our darkest moments, we convince ourselves that our art, our creation, won't matter.

Why create a video, write a book, launch a video, start that business when we might find out that no one cares?

We often are missing some very crucial things when we think this way.

And we can convince ourselves that our negative voices are truth, and our positive voices are non-sense.

In today's video, I'll share some lessons I have learned to help get past it when your mind seems to be winning the battle and telling your work won't matter.

Because believe me, your work, your voice, your art, your message matters and the world needs it.

Ep 158 Jamie Del Fierro - Forgiveness to Freedom: Overcoming Rape, Freeing Yourself from Your Past Story, and Forgiving the Unforgivable

At the age of 11 years old, Jamie was molested. Then at 14 years old, two of her brother's best friends raped her in her childhood bed.

One of the boys from that event told her, "You deserve this, you're a whore and you are trash."

After going through these traumatic events, when Jamie heard the words, "You are trash," her life shifted course. Hearing those words at such an impressionable age, at the time she believed that was her truth.

For the next 10 years, Jamie adopted the identity of what she believed was "trash." This led to using drugs and alcohol. She was pregnant at 16 and had her daughter at the age of 17. She said that in the early years, she felt more like a "care giver" to her daughter than a mother.

Eventually, continuing deeper into this story of "being trash" she go into multiple abusive relationships, stripping, escorting, and eventually into using cocaine and meth.

All of this changed one day at a dinner at a sushi restaurant when she met one of her brother's friends, a man by the name of Sean Stephenson.

After one life-changing meeting with Sean, Jamie decided to take control of her life and turn things around. She realized she was going to make these changes for herself and for her daughter. She said, "I want to look at myself in the mirror and be proud for once in my life."

Now Jamie is 13 years sober, is an incredible speaker and coach running her own business, co-owner of renowned MMA Gym (Alliance Gym) in San Diego, has a deeply-loving marriage, and is best friends with her daughter.

In today's interview Jamie will share:

• How to forgive the unforgivable
• Her best advice on how to overcome trauma and how to help people you love through traumatic experiences
• What it takes to shift a story or identity that is holding us back
• Her advice for anyone who has experienced sexual abuse on how to open up and get help
• How one night at a sushi restaurant changed her life forever
• Why vulnerability has led to her greatest successes
• How to find motivation to change when you are at rock bottom
• What it took for her to find a loving relationship that is completely open and honest
• How she became her daughter's hero and best friend
• How her forgiveness changed so many people's lives (and changed her wedding day)

And so much more!
