In this series, Jan selects a word to focus on for each month, encouraging growth in a specific area, challenging herself and her audience. This year Jan will be focusing on the difficult words and topics we tend to tie to ourselves, offering insight and tools to manage or overcome these obstacles. This month, the focus is on boundaries. Jan shares insights from a transformative business/entrepreneurial conference she attended, "Survivor to CEO" which was created by friend of the pod Arci Grey. Jan reflects on the powerful connection between past trauma and the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, particularly women. Using Donna Thorell's book, "Ditch the Rules, Use the Tools, and Reclaim Your Life," as a guide, Jan delves into a crucial topic for healing: the power of boundaries. She explains why setting boundaries is an act of self-respect, not selfishness, and explores the science behind how they rewire the brain, lower stress, and foster healthier relationships. Jan offers relatable examples and reflective questions to help listeners identify where they need boundaries and find the courage to enforce them for a more peaceful and empowered life.

Today, Jan is again joined by Andy Campbell, a resilient survivor and inspirational author who has overcome numerous life-altering challenges. Despite enduring multiple surgeries, grueling chemotherapy treatments, and the tragic loss of his youngest child, Andy has demonstrated remarkable strength and perseverance. In Part Two, the conversation shifts from surviving to thriving. Andy delves into the practical tools and mindset shifts that fueled his resilience. He discusses the life-changing impact of EMDR therapy, explaining how it allowed him to process traumatic memories without being physically overwhelmed by them. Andy then shares powerful core beliefs from his book, such as "Always Fall Forward," "There are no hard decisions, only hard consequences," and finding the "chewy nougat center of opportunity" in every challenge. He and Jan explore the importance of words, curiosity, and learning to "hold on loosely" in order to unshackle your potential and transform pain into purpose.
