#127: From Token Friend to Textile Artist | Dr. Veronica Anderson

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Dr. Veronica Anderson is a multifaceted entrepreneur, healthcare expert, and Kolbe-Certified Human Design Coach who has authored 4 books on holistic medicine and personal growth.

Have you ever felt like a victim, and if so … what did you do about it?

Dr. Veronica first appeared on the GFR Show in September 2021 - Episode 83: From Depressed Eye Surgeon to Clairvoyant Psychic. Now she is back to talk about how working in a predominately white organization made her feel victimized AND eventually empowered her to birth a business that fully represents her ethnic identity and personal ideals.

Tune in to hear Dr. V’s new story detailing her experience as a Black woman in the white-dominated wellness industry during the aftermath of George Floyd’s 2021 murder. She gets into the ways her well-intentioned colleagues missed the mark with their attempts at allyship, and we find out what (glaringly, in retrospect) simple change in communication could have made a big difference for everyone involved.

We talk about how being tokenized by some, while also being excluded and canceled by others for speaking her truth, made Dr. Veronica feel like a victim. And she confesses how she initially leaned into that role and allowed her external world to impact her vision of herself … and kept her trapped in the victim role rather than pushing against it and transforming it

Learn what spiritual lessons helped Dr. Veronica shift from victimhood to empowerment, and discover how her struggles served as a path to a new, more aligned business. Plus, she tells us exactly what type of support she’d love to get from Lisa, and other white colleagues, that would help her out most as she embarks on her next evolution.

You can listen in wherever you get podcasts, or watch on our YouTube channel to see some of the gorgeous textile designs Dr. Veronica has commissioned for her yoga and meditation product line.

Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever is an award-winning author, global speaker, media commentator, and the 7-figure CEO of Media to MILLIONS.

Have you ever had a “burn the ship” kind of moment?

Listen in to hear why she decided to quit, and how her innate confidence reassured her the right next step would appear.

We talk about her childhood and the determination that was instilled in her by her father who’d survived the Jim Crow south to become a successful Black entrepreneur. And you’ll hear about the twists and turns Dr. Avis took along her path to become a 7-figure entrepreneur who now is ushering in a new generation of Black millionaires.

You’ll also learn how Dr. Avis, in addition to shepherding clients to success and normalizing Black abundance, has passed her legacy on to her son who recently closed his first million-dollar deal at just 27 years of age.

#123: From the Dumbest Decision to Global Cultural Change Agent | Zarinah El-Amin |REPLAY+ (10/21/21)

Zarinah El-Amin is an award-winning anthropologist, author and TEDx speaker whose company, Book Power Publishing, revolves around helping clients create cultural change through books and global experiences.

What is the dumbest decision you've ever made in your life?

For this special replay episode that we’re releasing on both audio and as a video on my YouTube channel, Zarinah is back with an update on what’s happened since she first appeared on the GFR Show and opened up about the “dumbest decision” she ever made. She talks about another major loss she's experienced these last couple years, and shares what she's learned around acceptance and letting go.

Being raised a Muslim, Zarinah was surrounded by family friends from many cultures, but as a student in Detroit and later at Howard University, she wasn’t exposed to a lot of different people. Find out what “clicked” that made her know she was a “person of the world.” And how that led to eye-opening experiences like living in Egypt and dating someone in a different caste, and revitalizing orphan programs in Sierra Leone.

You’ll also hear the lessons she learned in her 40th year—a spiritual year of revelations for many Muslims—which came in a series of GFR moments including losing her mom, divorcing her husband of 14 years, and moving in with her father after his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Plus, you’ll hear the transformational lesson Zarinah learned when she repressed her true nature to try to make her marriage work.

#122: The Cost of Not Owning Our Value | Lisa Cherney featuring GFR Commandment #10

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Lisa’s her own guest as she examines GFR Commandment #10: Know that the struggle/stress/pain prevented with your expertise has enormous monetary value!

Are you owning your value?

One of the biggest hurdles we face as entrepreneurs is undercharging for our products and services, which as Lisa explains on today’s show, comes from minimizing our expertise and the contribution we make. And spoiler: it ends up costing way more than just your income.

We’re releasing this episode on video, so come over to our YouTube channel to learn about the spiritual and mental price we pay when we don’t own our worth as human beings and ask for what we need. Hear stories of how Lisa’s increasingly stepped into her value (financially and otherwise) through her 20+ years in business. And, she shares a recent experience that stretched her to really own her expertise once again.

Lisa talks about her 12 UnMentor Milestones for evolving experts, and takes a closer look at three that relate to the cost of not owning your value. Plus, she offers some ways you can identify where you’re undervaluing yourself, as well as some tips on how to start embodying what you're worth.

He’s the founder of the Center For Social Confidence, host of Shrink for the Shy Guy podcast, and today we’re releasing, “From Chronic Pain & Perfectionism to Mass Liberation” on my YouTube channel for the first time, as well as re-airing it on the podcast.

The question for this episode is a two-parter: would you consider yourself a perfectionist and, do you have aches or pains you struggle to fix?

They may seem unrelated, but as you’ll hear in Dr. Aziz’s story of losing his ability to walk at age 15, and his autoimmune disease that caused a lifelong struggle with chronic pain, our mental and physical selves are a lot more connected than you might realize.

Listen as Dr. Aziz shares what he discovered about the mind-body link between his perfectionism and his pain, and tells us how his healing journey eventually led to one of his greatest physical achievements.

You’ll find out what lessons Dr. Aziz learned from his physical body, what he means by “holistic mass liberation,” and how he’s now helping others achieve it.

#120: From Racial Justice Burnout to Liberated Mother Tree Queen | Dr. Amanda Kemp

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Dr. Amanda Kemp AKA Amanda Aminata Sol, is founder of Racial Justice from the Heart and the bestselling author of “Stop Being Afraid: 5 Steps to Transform Your Conversations About Racism.”

What is your relationship with nature?

Dr. Amanda survived the NYC foster care system before graduating from Stanford University and embarking on a journey to be a leader in the racial justice conversation. Her webinar, “How White Women Can Talk With Women of Color About Racism,” was developed in 2019, and when the murder of George Floyd sparked global awareness, it became a go-to for people of all races who wanted to do something about the injustices in our society.

Listen in as Amanda confesses the way that her hugely successful business led to massive burnout, and shares the spiritual experience that happened during a coaching session to make her realize it was time to break away from the “tyranny of production,” and follow her calling to foster a new relationship with the trees.

We talk about Amanda’s struggle between feeling ready to get out of her business, while feeling equally pressured to stay in because it was such important, timely work. On the show, you’ll hear about a special moment Amanda had with her intuitive daughter where she uncovered that her need to prioritize work over herself, and her tendency to be “graspy” with money, were rooted in a poignant experience from her foster care days.

Learn what Amanda unearthed regarding her beliefs around hunger and lack, and find out how Harriet Tubman plays into Amanda’s current evolution as the Mother Tree Queen, Aminata Sol Plant Walker Fire Woman.

#118: From Suicidal & Silent to Non-Binary Social Impact Entrepreneur

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Makaylah Rogers (they/she) is a social impact entrepreneur who co-owns Scale Naturally, as well as Frankie D's Donuts, a homemade donut business focused on opening up conversations around mental health.

Have you ever felt stifled by your gender?

Makaylah spent years struggling with their gender and sexual identity, and on the show they talk about the way those journeys impacted their mental healing. It’s a vulnerable discussion of their path to identifying as queer, and they share a raw account of their battle with suicidal ideation, including multiple attempts to take their own life. (It is some powerful stuff, but if it’s too much for you, it’s okay to skip this one.)

Find out what inspired Makaylah to come out as non-binary and learn why representation is so important, both specifically for Makaylah and in society at large. You’ll even learn a simple way you can be an advocate and help people who prefer non-binary pronouns to feel safe.

This episode’s a special GFR full-circle moment for Lisa because she actually birthed and named the 12 GFR Commandments and the Podcast at Makaylah and her partner Fia-Lynn’s Scale Naturally retreat back in 2018. At the time Makaylah was deep in their struggles about the way they presented in public, and never allowed themself to be seen on camera, even though a lot of their work was done over Zoom. So it’s also a big deal that we’re releasing this episode on video, too.

Listen in (or watch on YouTube!) for insight around the ways our identity is wrapped up in the outside world, and a frank discussion rooted in GFR Commandment #3: Don’t worry about being normal, proper or polite. Plus, as a related bonus, you’ll discover the connection between donut activism, doggy love, and mental health!

Laura shares why she decided to leave a kind, loving marriage with her first husband, and opens up about the way their divorce was a wake up call that gave her a deeper understanding of what she values, and catalyzed what is now 30 years of crafting the next season of her life around what matters most to her.

You’ll also hear about another huge GFR Moment when Laura drove head on into traffic after falling asleep at the wheel, and how that accident—and her journey to understand what caused it—facilitated a new level of growth and gratitude.

#108: The Lisas Talk Lessons Learned on Mothering, Meditating & Mentoring | Lisa Cherney & Lisa Sasevich

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0400

GFR Show host Lisa Cherney becomes the guest on her own podcast as she hands over the interviewer role to her former mentor, business partner and one of her dearest friends, Lisa Sasevich aka The Queen of Sales Conversion.

Lisa S is the monumentally smart and motivated Owner/CEO of The Invisible Close, and her tight relationship with Lisa C makes her the perfect person to take over as host for this special episode.

Hear the beginning of the Lisas’ epic 15-year and counting love story, and the way it’s shown up in their businesses, impacted their lives, and even trickled down to their daughters who also have a special connection. The Lisas cover topics like motherhood, mentorship and meditation. Plus, they dive into the way their lives and lessons have intertwined as two (very different) women in business who are uplifted by spiritual paths.

Lisa S asks Lisa C to recap her 2022 (which was largely a freakin’ beast), and share what she’s looking forward to in 2023. And, Lisa C confesses something that surprised her about herself recently, and the insight she gained around where she is in her healing journey and evolution.

You’ll also hear some fun stories from the Lisas’ adventures with their daughters, in particular, one about manifesting a lost jacket together that still blows their minds, and another about the top 3 things you do when you’re stressed out (hint: it’s another M word that might make you blush).

Hope you enjoy!

#105: From Resentful Military Spouse to Lead Generation Specialist | Kristen Robinson

Kristen Robinson is a lead-generation specialist and founder of Explode Your Audience. She’s also married to an officer in the Marines, which plays a huge role in her story.

Have you ever experienced culture shock?

Kristen describes what life has been like as a military spouse and shares the truth of the struggles she experienced as a new member of the Marine culture and community.

We talk about the way that the spoken and unspoken rules of military life largely fulfilled her husband, but left Kristen out in the cold when it came to following her own passions. Listen in for the GFR Moment when her husband took a shocking step that made her realize it was time to lock the door on her self-defeating beliefs and behaviors. Kristen also shares how that “freeze out” (you’ll get it when you hear her story) made her realize how vital it was to follow her mission outside of her identity as a military spouse.

Kristen opens up about the way she navigated her journey from being resentful about her roles and responsibilities as a Marine officer’s wife, and she shares how she eventually found an entrepreneurial passion that both helped her find her unique path and connected her to the military spouse community in a new way.

#99: Lovefest for Liberated Leaders with Mama Phyllis in Her Last Days On Earth | Lisa Cherney

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

The Lovefest for Liberated Leaders is Lisa’s high-vibe networking event where evolving experts mastermind with like-hearted peers in a space where money isn’t the #1 motivation, and where they can feel fully self-expressed and embraced for who they are.

What does liberation mean to you?

When Lisa shared with her community a week before Lovefest that her mother was dying, people expected that she’d cancel. But as Lisa explained on social media, Mama Phyllis has always been her biggest cheerleader and fully supported Lisa following her intuition, which said she was meant to host her event.

What she didn’t expect was that Mama Phyllis, who’s been a long-time participant in Lisa’s events, would summon the energy or desire to participate on camera, live from her deathbed.

Lisa doesn’t usually share Lovefest recordings with non-attendees because you don’t get the same value without the interactive masterminding. However, this was such a profound, divinely-orchestrated experience, Lisa wants to ensure everyone who needs to or wants to, gets a chance to listen in.

Enjoy a taste of what it’s like to be at Lovefest for Liberated Leaders, and soak in the wisdom and healing our precious Mama Phyllis a.k.a. Chief Hug Officer chimes in with during her final appearance “on stage” with Lisa before being liberated from her physical body one week later. This one’s gonna get you—have a box of tissues nearby.

(Mama Phyllis joins in for the first time at the one hour and twenty minute mark 1:20)

It’s the last GFR Show of 2021, and Lisa’s here to share why—despite living through the Covid crucible of 2020—this has been one of the most transformational years of her life.

From embarking on a journey around unconscious racial bias, to her mother’s 9-month battle with a cancer recurrence, to revisiting a 30-year struggle with food and body image she was sure she’d healed years ago (Ep. 85 - F*ck Dieting! This is Me!), Lisa leaned into her lessons and uncovered a stronger, even more unapologetic version of herself.

The week before Ep. 85 aired, Lisa’s mom Phyllis was in a terrible car accident that nearly left her quadriplegic, which in turn completely rocked Lisa’s world. That’s when the real transformation started.

In this episode you'll learn about Phyllis’s grueling road to recovery, and find out 5 major lessons Lisa’s learned as she took on her new role as caregiver for her mom. Lisa also confesses the ways her faith in the GFR Commandments has been tested these last couple months, in particular GFR 12C #4: Trust that struggle serves your mission.

Listen in to hear a promising update about how Phyllis is doing at the time of recording, and learn what self-care actions Lisa's taking for herself (and in turn, for her business, and the GFR Show) as she continues to care for her mom.

Sanyika “The Firestarter” Street is a storyteller, leadership mentor and executive coach whose platform, “The All-In Method,” empowers men to live a life of alignment and integrity to become better husbands, fathers and leaders.

What does it mean to you to be “all in” on something?

When Sanyika hadn’t made the grades or connections to earn an athletic scholarship by the end of high school, he changed his trajectory. And with the help of a coach who showed him a greater possibility in himself, Sanyika went "all in" to achieve his dream of playing on a division one college basketball team.

So, how did he end up as an actor and songwriter in what he calls a “rock bottom sandwich” just a few years later? Tune in to hear Sanyika’s story of how a seemingly positive return to his artistic leanings after college landed him in LA with two DUI’s, a girlfriend who was paying his bills, and a 1992 BMW 325i that was playing a detrimental role in his self-worth.

Learn about the unlikely community of men Sanyika found during that rock bottom who helped transform his life by holding him accountable, and inspiring him to step into his full potential. Plus, hear how all of Sanyika's ups and downs, and ins and outs, served to birth his current mission to empower 1 million to go all in on their body, their business and their being to live the best version of themselves they can be.

What is the dumbest decision you've ever made in your life?

Zarinah opens up about the “dumbest decision” she ever made, and the transformational lesson she learned when she repressed her true nature to make her marriage work. Being raised a Muslim, Zarinah was surrounded by family friends from many cultures, but as a student in Detroit and later at Howard University, she wasn’t exposed to a lot of different people.

You’ll also hear the lessons she learned in her 40th year—a spiritual year of revelations for many Muslims—which came in a series of GFR moments including losing her mom, divorcing her husband of 14 years, and moving in with her father after his stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

In 2017, Therese embarked on a journey that would hit her with loss after loss including the deaths of her mother and father-in-law (who she was very close to) within two weeks of each other, a torturous struggle with her son’s depression and addiction, and the loss of her ex-husband who’d co-parented the boys and become her best friend ... all while trying to keep her coaching business, and primary source of income, afloat.

This is a rare real time story for the GFR Show as Therese is just now emerging from her #GFRWormhole, and her insight as therapist with 25 years of counseling under her belt will blow you away. Listen in to hear how she coped with one son’s addiction as they battled their pain, and learn about a little-known ketamine treatment that has finally shown them the light at the end of the tunnel.

Holley Mignosi is founder of The Dynamic Dream Life Group which helps speakers increase their influence and impact through the art of Hypnotic Body Language and the Neuroscience of Storytelling.

How bad do things have to get before you make a change?

After a long career in modeling, Holley developed an addiction to perfectionism that eventually morphed into a dependence on drugs.

Check out what happened after that total reset that led to who she is today. Plus, she digs deep into the story of walking that same daughter through her own harrowing #GFRWormhole at age 13, which she’s never shared publicly before.

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 05:00:00 -0400

Denise Gosnell is a serial entrepreneur and productivity hacker who owns 3 successful businesses: a law firm, a real estate company and her coaching/training business, The Vacation Effect, Inc … all of which she runs working only 3 days a week.

Would you ever try an experiment where for 30 days, you only worked 3 days a week?

After being teased for being poor, 10-year-old Denise set her sights on getting rich so she’d never be picked on again. As an adult, she chose multiple career paths based on what would make her the most money … and became such a compulsive worker during her patent attorney days, her law firm asked that she cut her hours out of concern for her health.

In this episode, Denise shares the profound #GFRMoment that snapped her out of her workaholic ways and she confesses a truth about her #GFRWormhole story that she’s never opened up about before. You’ll also hear what she learned in her 30-day experiment of working just 3 days a week and how she turned it into her new way of life.

She wrote, “The Hidden Gifts Within the Trauma of Sexual Abuse,” a guide for people on the path to heal from their abusive past, and she’s the creator of the Awaken jewelry line.

Did you experience childhood trauma? Do you feel like you’ve dealt with it?

Keira had been openly facing her sexual abuse through therapy and other healing modalities for years, so it came as a huge surprise when she hit a #GFRWormhole that unearthed an accumulation of emotions around her trauma she’d never dealt with. At the time she was a happily married mother of 5 fantastic kids who was running two successful businesses. And yet, on her 33rd birthday when her husband asked what her dreams were, she didn’t have an answer.

Keira starts with a confession about the complicated relationship she had with her first religion, then she shares the event that brought her to her lowest point … and the #GFRMoment that turned things around. In this episode, you’ll also learn about the grueling and empowering EMDR therapy that finally allowed her to break through her barriers and fully own her destiny. (Spoiler: it’s all connected to her business and the mission she serves today.)

#36: From Rainbow Dismissal to Start-Up Thinking Expert | Duff Gardner

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 05:00:00 -0400

Duff Gardner is an award-winning, 7-figure marketer who’s also a startup founder, and Silicon Valley educated digital executive. He’s a passionate advocate for LGBTQ rights and believes diversity and inclusion are the bridge to peace. Duff’s current mission is to teach impact-driven entrepreneurs how to create social impact platforms that transform them from simple practitioners to thriving brands, while also birthing a show called, “Off My Duff - The Entrepreneur Podcast,” that is launching soon.

Do you know what kryptonite is? It’s the element that renders Superman and Supergirl’s powers useless. So, what’s the kryptonite that zaps your powers?

For Duff Gardner, the element that takes his power is feeling dismissed, which is why when he was ousted from his job in his 30’s, he spent the next decade undercharging, under-performing, and undervaluing his work as a self-employed consultant. That is, until he got fucking real with himself and reclaimed the power he hadn’t even fully understood that he lost.

In this episode, Duff talks about his “Rainbow Dismissal” from his lucrative company (and explains what that means), and he shares the lessons he learned both from losing his power and his direction, as well as from fighting his way back to owning his value and creating a successful empire of his own.

Enjoy and get inspired!

Justin Recla is an Army Vet and former counterintelligence agent. He is a master of intelligence transference and information entanglement, and co-founder of Super Power Experts, an online ministry that helps people identify and claim their own Super Powers.

Do you believe you have an innate superpower? Where are you being called to own your superpower in a bigger way?

So many of us have intuitive inclinations (especially mission-driven, soulful entrepreneurs), but as much as we want to take advantage of them, we don’t necessarily know-how. Or, maybe you’re like this week’s #GFRShow guest, who was so afraid of (and embarrassed about) fully embracing his Super Power, he turned to substance abuse trying to numb out his inner knowing

Listen in for Justin’s story of the #GFRMoment that made him finally own his Super Power and showed him without a doubt it was time to stop holding himself back. This one will get you inspired to identify and embrace the Super Power within you.

#33: From Blindsided by Betrayal to Visibility Shaman | Debbi Dachinger

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0400

Debbi Dachinger is a Media Personality and Media Visibility expert and host of the syndicated DARE TO DREAM podcast.

When it comes to relationships, are you someone who believes “the one” is out there? Maybe you’ve already met your “one.” What would you do if something happened to take them away from you?

In this episode, Debbi opens up her past long-term relationship with her “one” and the experience with him that not only destroyed their connection, but also taught her that allowing that belief to supersede her intuition was destroying her essence on a much deeper level.

Debbi shares some confessions around love and monogamy that she’s never opened up about before. Plus, we dig into how the demise of her primary relationship opened up a lot of clarity and, once she got past the grief, created more ease in her love life … and in her business. It’s all connected, y’all.

Jay Gabrani is founder of Prepared Fathers, a company dedicated to helping dads secure their kids’ financial future. Which, in classic mission-driven entrepreneur fashion, is a business he developed after finding himself unprepared for the financial aspects of his wife’s death.

We also get into the minor slip-and-fall accident that led to his wife’s death, and Jay confesses some difficult truths around the real reasons they ended up losing her.

Hear what Jay learned going through this intense wormhole, and find out how the struggle after his family’s tragedy now serves his mission today. This one’s a really great “If they can pull it together, so can I” type of episode, so tune in and get inspired!

Today’s guest is Jennifer Urezzio, the founder of Soul Language and host of the podcast, SuperPowers of the Soul.

Are you waiting for a huge “golden ticket” moment to spur you to make the changes you know you need to make in your life?

In this episode, Jennifer talks about the six months she spent surrendering to her suffering and shares how asking the universe to show her the lessons in her pain led to a remarkable breakthrough around love and a direct connection to her mission as the spiritual director of Soul Language.

She also shares what she learned about paying attention to the smaller ticket moments instead of waiting for the big crash to make a change. There are some great lessons in this one. Hope you enjoy!

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 05 Dec 2019 05:00:00 -0400

Kim Seltzer is a certified style and confidence coach who has helped thousands of people find love, connection, and success using her signature formula, “The Charisma Quotient,” which helps people with body language, first impressions, and self-image.

Do you think putting on a red dress could change your life? Today’s guest makes a really good case for working on yourself from the outside in, and her story about a little red dress that transformed the way she presented herself to the world—and how she viewed herself—just might convince you to embrace a healthy bit of vanity to feel better about what you see in the mirror.

In this episode, Kim gets f***ing real about her “before” life as a therapist whose inner dark mindset (as spurred on by a painful divorce) started to manifest in an outer way through her relationships and her all black wardrobe. She and Lisa dig into the value of struggle, especially for mission-based entrepreneurs, and discuss how Kim’s difficult journey to her own self-confidence, by way of that first red dress, is what makes her such a successful, sought-after dating coach and matchmaker.

No matter where you are in relation to your self-image, your confidence, or how you feel about what you see in the mirror, this interview is sure to give you some illuminations about the connection between what we present/see on the outside and what we have going on inside. Plus, there’s some juicy pushback to the common wounds-heal-from-the-inside-out method that is pretty compelling. Tune in and see what you think!

#28: From Hazardous Waste Officer to Health Restoration Expert | Maureen Vincenty

Lisa Cherney — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 05:00:00 -0400

Maureen Vincenty is a former NASA scientist who became so fixated on preventative medicine and nutritional therapy that it morphed into an eating disorder that threatened her life.

Have you ever felt like you were living a double life? Are you currently presenting yourself to the world in one way while hiding a whole other part of who you are, what you do, or how you think?

Maureen started college as a pre-med student but when her mom was diagnosed with cancer, she was so disillusioned with the gaps in the healthcare industry, she switched to geology because, “rocks and planets and stars were a lot safer than people.” But her medical research didn’t stop there. She had a secret obsession with figuring out why her mom got sick, which led to her using her body as a science experiment.

In this week’s episode of the GFR Show, Maureen and I talk about her orthorexia (and explain exactly what that is), and she shares details of how her struggle with the disorder gifted her with the empathy and experience she needed to become the thriving transformative health coach she is today.

This one was really special for me. I saw a lot of parallels between Maureen’s story and my own, and was inspired to Get Fucking Real and share some personal parts of my journey that I’ve never talked about before. It’s raw and vulnerable, and I hope it empowers you to own and embrace all the authentic parts of you.

Let’s start with, where are you holding yourself back? This is the question JR has asked himself over and over throughout his life. And if I do say so myself, this has highly served his mission!

In this episode, you’re going to hear how an experience as a 5 year shifted JR’s trajectory and set him on a path as an extremist. Tune to hear how his wayward path brought him into his life’s calling and the work he was put her to do.
