Own Your Truth Podcast Strength, Insight, Inspiration w/ Ken Cervera

Chris Valdheims is an entrepreneur, writer, podcaster, and lawyer who is dedicated to helping creatives bring their visions to life.
As a client of Chris’s innovative law firm, Counsel for Creators, I didn’t just learn about how to protect my intellectual property or navigate contracts, I learned how to stop worrying about the legal unknown and make informed decisions about the future of my business. 
What’s really unique about Chris’s approach is that he doesn’t just understand creatives, he is a creative who is passionate about helping people who come from challenging or complicated circumstances to create freely and authentically by sharing their stories.
In this episode we talk about how to break through the creative barriers of perfectionism and fear, how to turn challenging circumstances into creative fuel, and the journey of making creative decisions without being swayed by the influence of the external.

At the time of this recording, Emily Hartstone will have been hospitalized twice to receive the vital treatments she needs for her ongoing battle with Leukemia and severe graves disease. 
She also will have taken more than a few Zoom calls from her hospital bed and/or removed the IVs from her arm in order to meet her clients at an important event. 
As the CEO of From The Hart Management LLC, a motivational speaker, and purpose-driven entrepreneur, Emily's extensive career in sales and event management for non-profit trade organizations is driven by something deeper than success or accolades.
This episode is about the deeply personal and core beliefs that keep Emily grounded in her truth as she fights to make a difference every day. 
After multiple surgeries, hospitalizations, and dark nights of the soul, her mission to empower the next generation of change-makers is stronger than ever before. 
 

Before I interviewed Chris Wright, I had the opportunity to learn about some of the pivotal moments that shaped his life, and when I discovered the depths of physical and psychological trauma he endured at a young age, the one question that came to mind was: “How did this guy survive?” 
As the host of the In The Wright Mind Podcast, a mental health advocate, and a successful career in government sector sales, Chris is on a mission to help others rise above their mental health struggles and bring hope to those who feel stuck and alone. 
In this interview we explore the power of mental health advocacy, finding gratitude for the dark moments, and what it really means to embrace the messy journey of being human. 

This episode is about the art and practice of shutting down the ego and deeply listening to the only truth that matters. 
Because someday, we may get the most powerful insight and life-changing clarity we need, at exactly the moment we no longer have the patience or mental bandwidth to receive it. 

Monique Scott is a Law of Attraction Coach who helps single women over 40 recreate the lives they truly want.
 
Through guided manifestation practice, coaching, and affirmation muzic, Monique’s work is about helping her clients to shift the negative paradigms in their lives and achieve their biggest goals. 
 
Something that she shared with me during our interview was that we can manifest something that we deeply desire only to discover that it’s no longer what we want or need. 
 
This ability to embrace the unknown and unforeseen outcomes has informed the journey of a courageous human being who was able to find forgiveness, gratitude and healing within the most traumatic chapter of her life. 
 
In this episode, we explore how to successfully manifest in alignment with your highest self, how to remain grounded in your spiritual journey, and how to navigate through the darkness with kindness and clarity.
