Episode 451 - Benjy Sherer - Finding Your Spot, Feelings First Emotional Fitness Training

My name is Benjy!

I am an emotional wellness coach and author of 'Feelings First Shadow Work' and '10 Mind Hacks for Quicker Emotional Healing'. I teach self-love and shadow work, to show people how to master their emotions as quickly, easily, and painlessly as possible.

My unique methods help people bypass their logical brains and connect directly to their emotions to release past trauma, limiting beliefs, and self harming patterns without needing to focus on all of the past traumas that caused these issues in the first place.

I’ve helped client after client overcome stress, anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, PTSD, depression, etc... and find the real and lasting self love and joy they've struggled so many years to attain.

Episode 448 - Ben Eden - How We See Ourselves, How to Stop Quiet Quitting On Yourself

Ben Eden spent over seven years in HR, mostly in an HR executive role. He knows firsthand what you are going through in your career. As a highly successful HR executive, he helped run a global company with nearly 2,000 employees. Ben helped them grow the company as he went from HR Intern to the Leader of their Global HR department, building locations from the ground up around the world. Now, as an HR business coach, he leverages this extensive experience to help other businesses achieve their highest potential through his global talent HR consultancy.

During this time of fast business growth, Ben also graduated top of his class in his Bachelor’s program, and completed his Master’s degree in half the time required. He also became a Senior Certified Professional, all this while traveling the world opening new locations, training managers, and building teams.

Combining his education and personal experiences, Ben discovered areas of the HR profession that needed critical support. And that had him questioning — “Where is HR for HR professionals?” “Who can HR professionals turn to when laws are complex and changing, when employees need and demand so much, and when the management team expects you to have all the answers?” “Who can HR turn to when their wellbeing is at stake?”

From these questions and more, Ben began to realize he was doing more coaching and advising and also realized that each company and their situations are unique.

But there is one thing that always remains the same — you are a human trying to do your best in your role with what you’ve got to work with currently. Sometimes you need a safe place to turn where you can have your questions and concerns addressed, your fears and doubts resolved, and your confidence bolstered. That’s where HR professional coaching can help you avoid or recover from burnout, build resilience, confidence, and motivation. A place where you can be heard, understood, and directed effectively so that you show up doing and achieving your very best. Ben, as an HR business coach through his global talent HR consultancy, helps you bring the optimism back to your job.

Ben Eden’s speaks at HR Conferences around the globe and his specialty is coaching HR Professionals like yourself to Reach Your Ultimate Potential in both your personal and professional life.

Episode 446 - Anne Fowler - From Haliburton to El Porvenir - Author of I’ve Worn Many Hats

About the author

Anne Fowler, only child of Audrey and Stewart Hamilton, was raised in Toronto where she attended Leaside High School and Toronto Western Hospital School of Nursing. In 1962 American Airlines beckoned her to Dallas, Texas and life in the sky as a flight attendant. Twice divorced, Anne first married a young minister from Louisiana and then long-time best friend Dr. Bob Fowler of Toronto. They raised a daughter and son who later produced a grandson and granddaughter. In 2001, Anne retired, closed her company, Hamilton Enterprises, and left behind a thirty year career in Human Resources.

She relocated to El Progreso, Honduras to volunteer at a clinic where care is provided for patients who lack the funds to be treated elsewhere. During this time, Anne developed the Visiting Doctor program for international ophthalmologists, started the Healthy Living Education project in local elementary schools, and helped with a variety of clinic and community activities. In 2006, after purchasing property in the small north coast village of El Porvenir, she built Hamilton Benest House, a home providing accommodation for visiting dentists, doctors, teachers, and other volunteers. Her major program in 2021 is Phase Two of the

Healthy Living Program. This annual dental program, conducted by two Canadian dental teams, provides dental care for over 1,000 elementary school students in the area. Anne’s programs continue to thrive and she has continued to develop community initiatives designed to improve the lives of Hondurans. Anne divides her year between El Porvenir and her Haliburton cottage north of Toronto.

Book - I’ve Worn Many Hats

Get ready to experience a roller coaster ride of emotions!

Laughter, sadness, empathy, outrage. Canadian Anne Hamilton Fowler appeared to have it all. However, life is not always as idyllic as it seems and at age twenty a series of events almost destroyed her. Emerging from the wreckage she reinvented herself, started over, and proceeded to live on the edge with a risk-taking lifestyle. Then in 1993, an event experienced during a trip to Central America changed everything.

“I’ve Worn Many Hats” is an inspirational read that demonstrates our human frailties, one’s ability to survive personal adversity, and how we can learn to forgive both ourselves and others. It is a story of redemption.

Anne Fowler is a retired Canadian who divides the year between her Haliburton summer cottage and Central America. This memoir is her first book and all proceeds will go to support Anne’s ongoing humanitarian work in Honduras.

Episode 445 - Judy Gruen - Bylines and Blessings - Writing is almost as essential as breathing

I began my writing career in the health care field, and sold my first freelance humor pieces by age 22 to the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, the scrappy underdog newspaper to the Los Angeles Times.

Since then, I’ve written 5 books, including my memoirs Bylines and Blessings and The Skeptic and the Rabbi, both works of my heart. I’m an award-winning columnist for the Jewish Journal, where my work earned First Place in Commentary from the American Jewish Press Association’s Simon Rockower Awards, and Second Place for Book Reviews from the L.A. Press Club’s Southern California Journalism Awards, both in 2024.

My work has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, Boston Globe, New York Daily News, Los Angeles Times, Aish.com, Jewish Action, Chabad.org, and many other outlets.

I also love working with writers as a book coach, guiding them as they realize their visions of a professionally written and edited book. I’ve worked with writers on memoirs, as well as on Jewish philosophy, business communications, alternative health journeys, and more.

To me, writing is almost as essential as breathing. It is a privilege and joy for me to be able to share my writing with a receptive audience.

Episode 444 - Mike Fink - The Divorce Decision Decoded book will give you powerful insights into why you are stuck in limbo

This is the part where I brag about myself.

Not because I want to inflate my ego but because it’s important for you to be reassured that I’m credible and that I’m a real, world-class expert.

I grew up in Europe and lived in five different countries (including the US) before moving to Canada, now home. My accent when I speak English is a mix, but most people hear it as a French accent.

I hold a Master of Science in Psychology from Yale University and have been directly trained or worked with some of the biggest names and early Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) developers.

I’m a World-Renowned Coach and Personal Development Expert, having been featured in many prominent French national, primetime TV shows.

Over more than two decades, I’ve helped more than 110,000 French-speaking people from 157 countries dramatically achieve goals they thought were unattainable.

After a particularly painful turning point in my life, I created and developed The Decoding Grid™: a revolutionary clarity and decision-making process to tackle complex and high-cost-of-failure life decisions.

Since then, I’ve been on a new Life Mission to share it with the world and help people reach Decision Harmony and make the Right Decision every single time.

I’m convinced that we all have a unique gift to offer to the world and that aligning with it means living your Life’s Purpose. The Decoding Grid™ is my gift.

When I’m not helping women make the Right Decision, I’m passionate about and an avid practitioner of many sports: snowboarding, kitesurfing, snowkiting, e-skateboarding, and wing foiling. If it slides or glides (preferably sideways), I’m probably doing it!
