Ever wondered what it's like to have it all? This week's guest on "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast is a powerhouse entrepreneur and digital media maven who once thought she had it all. Amber J Lawson has been at the cutting edge of the digital landscape receiving tremendous accolades including "Top 100 Influential People in Influencer Marketing," "Entrepreneur of the Year" and "Top Women in Digital" to name a few. Amber J worked incredibly hard to “make it” and was afraid to give up. She was tired of “living the life” or "having it all" because the truth was - she felt like she wasn't really living at all. Amber J is here to tell her story - about how she created a true spark to live a better life.

Amber J talks about several modalities that can help us all take better care of ourselves, increase our joy and transform our lives. She's a huge proponent of finding space for quiet (and creativity) and creating rituals. She also believes in the power of hugging, dancing when we get out of bed and the importance of connection and vulnerability.

Amber J is dynamic, full of positive energy and truly hilarious. She's the Co-founder and CEO of the Emmy nominated Comedy Gives Back, the founder of a conscious company, Goddess Process and CEO of Good Amplified - a social media consultancy that serves nonprofits.

44. Amber J Lawson: How Career Overload Sparked Clarity and Connection

Today's guest seemed to have it all, yet looks were deceiving. This former professional hockey player and distinguished coach skated toward huge transformation to live a more authentic life. Trent Eigner is an engaged father of six and loving husband, a past collegiate and professional hockey player, soon to be author, and highly acclaimed hockey coach. Trent led his Lakeville North hockey team to the first undefeated season in over 30 years while also compiling the greatest single season record of high school hockey in the state of Minnesota. On paper he was the IT GUY…but the reality was he was incredibly unhealthy, overweight, broke, depressed and fearful in life. On this episode of "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast Trent shares his experience with deep mental and physical changes. His is a story of a broken person who found a way to bring about transformation, even in a perfection-driven society.

I met Trent when we were both in college at Miami University. Not only was he a talented, hockey player - he was always the life of the party. I remember him cheering me to on to sing the national anthem from a roof top at "24 by 12," a Miami hockey tradition or telling making us laugh in the back of the classroom. Believe it or not, he did go the classes, though as he says himself - he seldom took a note, which is why he’s so proud to be a first time author, "Assault on Average," coming out this fall.

45. Trent Eigner: A Transformational Assault on Average

Can you fire your inner critic? Author, professor, former TV producer and expert storyteller, Valerie Gordon, is back on the "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast to tell you how. After 20-years of producing award winning stories for ESPN and HBO, Valerie found communications agency, Commander-in-She, where she helps women advocate for their careers through the power of storytelling.

I'm excited to have Valerie back on the podcast inspiring us how to take charge of our lives and recast our inner narrative. A year ago Valerie shared her wisdom in episode 28 about how to plan your next career chapter - whether you’re unemployed, uninspired or just plain curious. This episode was amazing - the topic, the tips, the expertise and it continues to do well to this day. So I knew Valerie coming back on the podcast, sharing more lessons and highlighting her new book, “Fire Your Narrator” would be valuable. This book is a must have for people who want to learn how to quiet their inner narrator and lower the volume on those unhelpful inner stories we have in our heads.

Mini-Episode: What to do, say and give to a friend diagnosed with cancer

When life gets tough, it’s easy to crawl into a hole. Today’s guest knows hardship - and thinks differently.  She found that tapping into “pockets of joy” has helped her. TV personality, author and motivational speaker, Roxane Battle, shares this message with the world. Today’s episode is about that - the importance of connection and finding pockets of joy when going through hardship. 

Roxane is no stranger to stressful situations. She raised her son as a single mom with an intense career. In this episode she talks about experiencing a deep loss with her father in late stages of dementia. Through this all - she shares wise words on how finding connection and making memories can be incredibly helpful.

In the late 1990’s at the start of my career, I met a number of people that served as role models, Roxane Battle was one of them. A well-known TV anchor for years (and now popular author of Pockets of Joy - Deciding to be Happy Choosing to be Free,) Roxane has a reputation for being a keen interviewer, who could get anyone to talk. That was true both professionally and personally. 

As the PR girl, I often called upon Roxane to cover stories of events at Target Center/Timberwolves/Lynx. She covered our Globetrotters game, she brought wrestlers in-studio and highlighted our NBA and WNBA players. I remember sharing with her my job stresses and successes as well as my silly dating life. She listened, gave great advice and did this all with a smile, even with the heavy schedule juggling work and home.

Throughout the interview you will be touched by Roxane’s lessons and vivacious personality. While the topic is very serious, Roxane has a way of making people feel welcome. She has a gift beyond storytelling, she’s authentic and able to connect. 

She reveals tools that have helped her cope with her father’s dementia including creating memories for herself and her son. She talks about what pro-active support looks like when a loved one is going through hardship. She shares how embracing gratitude and being present are the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. And whether we’re hurting or want to help a friend who is going through a hard time, service and generosity can make everyone feel connected and loved.

If you stay until the end, you will enjoy us playing “The Grateful Game.” See links below if you want a sneak-peak:

Happiness through Hardship - The Book: amzn.to/39PAjuT

Some of Roxane’s wise words from “Pockets of Joy” - “To this day, I believe in the muck and the mess we call life, joy can still be found.”

Last words - “Today - think of one thing that will bring you joy and go do it!!!!!"

4. Roxane Battle: Finding Pockets of Joy with Dad’s Dementia and Life’s Dealings

This week’s episode on Happiness through Hardship - The Podcast highlights Laura Saltman, an author, meditation teacher, intuitive guidance coach and TV/Digital Host. Her journey from red carpet reporter to Hollywood Healer began after her life was turned upside down - she lost her brother to cancer, her father to suicide, suffered multiple miscarriages and more. Laura NEEDED tools to help her cope and live beyond the pain, sadness and depression.  
 
She looked for alternate therapies to heal and then she jumped in…She learned, experienced and became and expert, teacher and soldier in the spiritual game. She has learned how to transform lives through connection to metaphysical intelligence inspiring people to think, live and love better. She’s well-versed in meditation, chakra balancing and intuitive healing.

At one time, this seemed WOO WOO to me...and I would have smiled and walked away. Though, in recent years, a dear friend who loved quantum physics would talk to me a lot about the healing power of energy. She encouraged me to be open to all modalities of healing. Then I met Laura on a panel where we both spoke at ShiftCon…. and she spoke a similar language so I tried more holistic driven healing modalities. When I was open about changing the language in how I spoke to myself, when I was open about finding time to just be in silence and when I was open to using different modalities on how to heal - I felt calm. I felt a sense of peace and I felt good. 

I encourage you to listen to Laura and be open...even if this is new to you or not something you would do. I’ve found it’s been helpful to know what is out there in the world that can help with stress-reduction, ailments and just coping with whatever life throws.

Laura’s journey is a rollercoaster and her heart and soul so kind, pure and helpful to many...we can all learn a lot from her stories and her insights on life.
