Leaving Without My Children, Janelle Metchewais
Janelle talks about leaving domestic abuse. Janelle has had a difficult life. This podcast gives you a window into Janelle's life. We begin to understand why she stays, and why eventually she leaves alone, without her children.
If you’re afraid of your partner, that’s a big red flag. You may be scared to say what you think, to bring up certain topics, or to say no to sex. No matter the reason, fear has no place in a healthy relationship.
If you feel like you’re being abused, there’s a good chance you may be, and it’s worth getting help. Keep that in mind as you think about these signs:
*Your partner bullies, threatens, or controls you:*
* Accuses you of having an affair
* Blames you for abuse
* Criticizes you
* Tells you what to wear and how you should look
* Threatens to kill you or someone close to you
* Throws things or punches walls when angry
* Yells at you and makes you feel small

Losing Myself to Grief, Susan Schruefer Ways

Susan was there for her everyone and was someone who tried to be all things to all people.
Things changed for her when her husband was diagnosed with cancer.
Susan's boss demanded she come back to work the day after her husband died. She was expected to come back unscathed, to be the same Susan.
When it was discovered that she was less engaged, she was berated and scorned. With every micro aggression, Susan could feel that her world was about to blow up.
It all became to much and she quit not knowing what laid ahead.
She is now a stronger, person with boundaries.
Susan has her own podcast where she helps others who are going through their grief.

Dear Luna Wilde, Leena Lemos
Leena Lemos talks to me about yearning for a spiritual connection. She felt this most profoundly when she was pregnant and after the birth of her baby girl.
She kept wondering why women were continually skirting the real issues of how we are feeling and what motherhood is doing to us on a soul level.
On her quest for a more profound relationship with herself and others she started writing letters to her unborn child, here we see who she is and how she struggles as we all do with identity and love and her own spirituality.
We discuss how important it is to live authentically and what it means to live a life as a spiritual person.

Hiding From Myself, Amber Rose Washington
At the age of four Amber recalls, praying to god to please fix her by morning.
Amber was a little girl trapped in a boys body.
Amber knew at that early age that something was amiss
For most of her childhood she tried really hard to be a good son, but whenever she had any alone time, she raided her mother's and sisters clothes and makeup and pretended that she was a girl, always conscious of the face that if she was caught, she could going to get in trouble.
For people that are like Amber, life isn't easy. People can be mean and judgmental, and the world can be cruel.
Amber talks about her story which is beautiful, and powerful. I encourage you to all get her book Hiding From Myself, available wherever books are sold

Whose Life Are You Living? with Miranda Werkheiser
Creator and Founder of Surrender and Slay LLC
You are not everyone cup of tea, and that is the way it is suppose to be.
Miranda Werkhiser is a spiritual life coach who's montra is to surrender and slay.
We talk about learning to listen to your inner voice. We all receive messages that come to us when we need to make a change, when we need to surrender to our life purpose. Sometimes surrendering can be terrifying, and it is okay to be scared. Miranda tells me " I don't give up, but I give it up.. I surrender all I want, and all I don't want. So when I slay, it is intensional and I can flow into my purpose.
There is a feeling that we get when there is a fuck yes in our life, that exciting feeling in our gut that we know that this is it. This is your soul, or your spirit or the univerce trying to tell you that this is where you need to go.. put your attention here.
Miranda reminds us all that we are actually the most important person in our life.
If you arent giving yourself your best self, then you are also unavailable to the people that love you. If you arent filling your soul, whose life are you living?

Please follow, rate and review
Love you all!
In today's episode Monica is having some weird dreams about her late husband and is wondering if John is haunting her?
Can you have sex with a ghost? If so can you orgasm that way? Amanda seems to think so, so it must be true.
*Topics for today's podcast include: *
Sex dreams, how often do you have them? Why do men fall asleep right after sex when as women we lay awake? Does Amanda want to milk Karsten's prostate? Will she? What would it be like to have a penis, is peeing standing up all it's cracked up to be?
*Seriously.... WTF*
I'm by no means perfect but does it make me a bad person to totally dislike my step kids? Every day I get a message from my 16-year-old stepdaughter telling me to kill myself and I need to be dead. My 19-year-old stepdaughter talks trash about me to everyone I know and even abused my younger son. I've h…

No One Is Coming To Save Me, Doug Sands
Doug Sands talks about how he came from a place where his life was riddled with anxiety, living the life that was expected of him instead of living the life that he chose.
After a dangerous hike out on a mountain he realized that the only one that was going to save him was himself. This was his turning point, where he chose to save himself.
He came from a background where he was told to JUST BE A MAN, talking about feelings and emotions were not happening in his family. After exploration of who he was and where he wanted to go he found Buddhism, meditation and hypnosis.
Doug now shares his journey, and his tools that helped break him out of anxiety with us.
Doug is a licensed hypnotherapist who really wants to help other people.

Live the Life You are Meant To. Not The One You Are Suppose To, Ibrahim Sharkas
Abe and I talk about living an authentic life.
Sometimes we all struggle with finding out what our purpose is, what it is we really want.
When you are living in your purpose you should feel empowered, and content.
When you are not living your life authentically you feel like there is something amiss. As North American's we are often told of the things that will make us happy: the car, the house, the career.
So what happens when we have those things yet we still feel an emptiness. Usually, this is when your life blows up. Me and Abe talk about different examples in our own lives of how not being in alignment with our purpose creates anxiety and stress in the mind and body.
It is okay not to know where you are going. It is so important to understand that the journey is what is important.

Stop The People Pleasing!, It's Killing You, with Karen DiMarco
A nurse for 22 years with specialties in Intensive Care, Trauma, and Flight Nursing, Karen DiMarco had an experience in 2011 that she describes as “a coming home.” Within weeks of that profound moment – on the floor of a closet in a puddle of snot and tears – her mental and physical illnesses, and a 26-year history of eating disorders, melted away.
Since then, she has been a catalyst for transforming the way we deliver and conceive of health care and wellbeing. Put simply, the mind and body are not disconnected, and when misunderstandings of the mind are healed, there is a profound healing effect on the body.
Karen is a total geek about science, and the connection between the mind and the body. Her insatiable appetite for all things spiritual and biological, and her ability to communicate her understanding in a scientific, sometimes hilarious, and always easy-to-understand way, is what makes her both a total weirdo and incredibly impactful as a healthcare visionary and transf…

Deanna did as her mother told her, and buried the secret for 40 years, and never told anyone.
But as with all trauma, it surfaced in different ways. Deanna was angry all the time, so much so that her own children were scared of her anger. She became an alcoholic and could not control her drinking. Eventually Deanna ended up in rehab. It was there that she received counselling for the child hood sexual abuse.

Chuck Pineau and his wife were extremely supportive with their children's sexual identity. That didn't make the coming out of one of their children any easier.
Chuck tells of a dramatic story of how his child was bullied at school, how he felt the only solution was to leave the USA and head for the Canadian border. This child hopped on a bus and traveled the 22 hour journey across the USA all in the hopes of finding support from friends that lived on the other side of country.
Chuck and his wife Wyndi were devastated that their child felt he couldn't talk to them. Once their child was finally able to find their voice Chuck and Wyndi went into action, they drove the long journey to find their child, and together came up with solutions to make his life better.

How I Recovered from Conversion Therapy, with Elena Thurston
Conversion therapy is any of several dangerous and discredited practices aimed at changing an individual's sexual orientation. Conversion therapy uses a variety of shaming, emotionally traumatic or physically painful stimuli to make their patients associate those stimuli with their LGBTQ identities.
According to studies by the UCLA Williams institute more the 700,000 LGBTQ people have been subjected to the horrors of conversion therapy.
Conversion therapy does not work. All major medical and Associations agree that LGBTQ identities are a normal variant of human nature. No credible scientific study has ever supported the clams of conversion therapist to actually change a person's sexual orientation.
Conversion therapy is a serious threat to a patients health, one study showed that 57% of participants have tried to take their life.

He had two failed marriages where the results were similar, he needed intimate connections with more then just one person. This can be difficult for another person to accept, it takes the right person or the right people to be able to hold space for this kind of thinking.
AC is still working through this, he admits that there are some hiccups along the way, that him and his partners are still working through.

The Meditation Struggle, with Sondra Kornblatt
Why is meditation so hard?
One reason may be that it is hard spending time alone with our own cluttered minds. It is hard to avoid our own internal contradictions, long repressed fears and the incessant need for validation when you are doing nothing but sitting still and observing your breath.
Sondra teaches us to be kind to ourselves and be kind to our thoughts, that even when we struggle with our mind to not judge, instead to just observe that you are struggling and to move on.
Even if you can only sit in meditation for a few minutes it is still worth the effort. Just a few minutes a day is enough to get started with mindfulness.
BIO (new):
As a personal and sleep coach, Sondra guides people who feel depleted and empty to connect with their authentic selves, creating a fuller life of kindness and purpose.

Hearing Voices, Living with Bipolar Disorder, Catharine Clarenbach
Catharine Clarenbach bravely talks about what it is like living with Bipolar disorder.
Her first memory of thinking she did not want to live was at six years old. She was from that point forward cycling in and out of depression.
Catharine had to learn to live with the extreme highs of Mania and the low lows of depression, all the while living with voices in her head telling her that she was worthless and should kill herself.
It took many years for Catharine to get a diagnosis. With every misdiagnosis, with each dismissal Catharine felt an immense distrust for the system.
Eventually, through the help of a friend, she found the right doctor who put her on the medication that she needed. Catharine's story is one of struggle, hope and finally joy.

Your brain was built for a different time. Your procrastination and anxiety are *SOLVABLE* (and linked)
A few years ago Vikki was waking up with *panic attacks daily*.
Everywhere she turned there was dis-empowering misinformation on her “disorder”.
At least one in five American adults experience anxiety. That is not a disorder, it is a trend.
Vikki stopped this daily pattern and has gone on to teach *hundreds of clients* the same simple steps.

Learning to Trust Again
To Connect with *The Front Seat Podcast* click on the link tree below:

What do you do when the person you love chooses to lie to you over and over again. You doubt yourself, you doubt whether you can ever trust your own judgement, and that is where you shut down, and turn inward.
Living a life without vulnerability is living a life without authenticity. Only when you learn to trust yourself, and know that you are going to be ok, can you be the person you are meant to me.

Lori Reising, Recovering from Birth Trauma
Lori was given up for adoption at birth, she was whisked away from her mother and spent three weeks in a nursery before she was adopted. There was no skin to skin contact, there was no bonding. This was the beginning of her life. This crucial period of time shaped Lori's life. This is her journey of recognizing this wound, healing from it and helping others to conceive and give birth in a beautiful, natural way.
As a western society we recognize that outside factors affect the unborn baby. We know the Do's and Don'ts. Eat well, take vitamins, exercise, get plenty of sleep, avoid chemicals, alcohol and drugs. But what about the emotions of the mother. What about the birth itself? This episode speaks to the link that the emotional well being of the mother and the birthing process directly affects the personality of the child.

Introduction: Welcome to the Front Seat
This Podcast is about taking control of your narrative and the direction that your life is heading.
I reflect on whether or not we are meant to have a purpose.
When things got hard in my life I was taught to get into the back seat and just see where my life would go, ultimately I found that although sometimes this is handy advice, sometimes the only solution is not to take the back seat but to jump into the front seat and drive your own damn car.
