    022 : Marcie Keithley & the Shoebox of Purpose

    Send us a text We all have secrets. Truths that are too painful to face. Marcie J. Keithley, Author of "The Shoebox Effect: Transforming Pain into Fortitude and Purpose," knows this all too well as she, herself, attempted to put all of her past worries into a proverbial (and literal!) shoebox. Just waiting for the time when she would have the strength to examine and process them. The reality, though, is that the only way to move forward in life is to face your past head on. Her book chronicles her journey of opening her "shoebox" and learning how to navigate loss, grief, divorce, death, adoption, and all of life's adversities, and transform them into fortitude and purpose. An accomplished professional, speaker, writer, and emotional resilience coach, Marcie is amazing guest to have on any podcast. Full of hope, even in the face of challenge. She has made it her life's mission to be open and honest with her personal story, in hoping to give others the permission release their own pain that they carry, and move forward with purpose. Here's our chat.  Marcie Keithly https://marciejkeithley.com/  @TheShoeBoxEffect Poem Referenced in Podcast: Choices By Marcie J. Keithley If you were given a second chance To step back into time And change a wrong and make it right I wonder what you’d find. For God has chosen a special path For all of us you see. Would you correct the mistakes you made? Or would you let them lbe? As I look back on my own life The choices that I made Were ones that help me grow up strong None were made in vain. Regardless whether wrong or right Each one helped me to see That only when we fail to choose Our lives can never be. You have a choice to start each day With happiness and joy. Or you could choose to stay in bed Depressed, removed and void. You have a choice to share your life With friends and family. Or hide away within yourself And miss your destiny. You have a choice to take a chance Or let it walk on by. But you will never  taste success Unless you reach and try. For failures teach us many things And are not meant to be. A way to give up on a dream And hand away the key. So when you choose, choose carefully And look within your heart.. For only when we fail to choose Our lives can never start. Support the show

    Podcast Episode 020: Step Out of the Darkness and Into the Light with Kevin Berthia

    Send us a text Episode Trigger Warning: Suicide. If you or someone you know needs direct help, please reach out to:  National Suicide Prevention Hotline 800-273-8255 (TALK) SuicidePreventionLifeLine.org --------------------------------------- In 2005, Kevin Berthia was challenged to his core mentally, physically and emotionally. His entire life buckled into one moment, and thought there was no other choice but to head to the Golden Gate Bridge...and jump. He was desperately looking for someone to ask him what he was doing, someone to listen, acknowledge, anything. Kevin made it all the way to the bridge, walked to the middle, climbed over the railing and just as he made the decision to release, he heard a voice that saved his life. It was Kevin Briggs, a police officer. Briggs listened to Berthia for 90 minutes. Unwinding and unloading his entire life to the first person who gave him a real moment to speak and share, for the first time in a long time. Those 90 minutes of shared time and perspective saved Kevin Berthia's life, and changed it for the better. Literally.  Here's our chat.    Video Resources: Kevin Berthia Ted Talk Kevin Berthia - GoalCast Video Choose Your Attitude Podcast - YouTube Channel YouTube Link of this Episode Kevin Berthia @_grateful Kevin Berthia Foundation https://kevinberthiafoundation.org This podcast is made possible by the support of viewers like you!
