    025 ~ Deanna Hansen: Finding Purpose Inside Yourself...Literally!

    In this episode I talk with Deanna Hansen, Founder of Block Therapy and Fluid Isometrics. Deanna’s journey toward living life on her terms began over 20 years ago. Although she was an athletic therapist she herself was struggling. Deanna was doing “all the right things” but was 50 pounds overweight, felt like a failure and suffered from anxiety. She believes it was divine intervention when during a panic attack, where she actually felt like she was going to die, she intuitively dove her hands into her abdomen and connected with pain. She felt a coldness and marbling in her belly that felt like scar tissue. As a body worker she realized this area wasn’t getting proper blood flow. She began to regularly massage this area and quickly the weight began to fall away and the anxiety lifted. This began a journey of self-discovery and beginning to see all of life through the lens of fascia.Today, Deanna knows her life purpose is helping others on their own healing journey through diaphragmatic breathing and working through the layers of fascia to create space for healing throughout the body. She developed block therapy, which is a version of body work individuals can do for themselves. Deanna has built a successful business with certified block therapists now in multiple countries.In this interview Deanna talks about letting go of shame and secrets and embracing her own story, values, passions and purpose to get her where she is today. There are many lessons in Deanna’s journey and parallels to the 7L Framework. She is excited about “Leveling-up” and trusts venturing into the unknown of what’s next!To learn more about Deanna and her work visit BlockTherapy.com (http://BlockTherapy.com).

    024 ~ Sam Conaway: Laundry to Leadership & Finding Your Purpose

    In this episode of Life on Your Terms, I interview the inspiring Sam Conaway. He is President of US Cardiology Sales for Boston Scientific and chairs the company's health equity program. Sam grew up in a tough neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland. Many of his friends went down a troubled path mired in gangs, drugs and violence. He shared being a high school baseball star is the only thing that kept him safe and "untouchable" in his neighborhood.However, his dream of going pro was dashed by an injury and Sam ended up working in a hospital laundry room. He could have become bitter and given up. Instead he worked harder and drew inspiration from his uncle who "made it out". He found his true purpose and never looked back!Sam went from folding laundry to assisting with cardiac procedures by 19 years old. The experience fulfilled him in ways he couldn't imagine. He is now focused on leading and inspiring others that they can achieve anything with a positive mindset, strong work ethic, being honest with yourself and allowing yourself to dream big!Connect with Sam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-conaway-medsales/

    023 ~ Sabine K. Franco: Surrender to What Calls You

    In this episode of Life on Your Terms, I interview Sabine K. Franco, the CEO and Principal Attorney at FRANCO LAW FIRM, P.C. Established in 2012.She stuns me in this interview by sharing that in the past she has felt a desire to retreat from what called her, experienced bouts of shyness and fear of success.I would have never guessed! Sabine shares how she learned from missed opportunities and has stopped fighting against the things that are scary. Her message to others is to stop resisting what calls you, trust, surrender and the thing that is the scariest is probably what you should do. Ultimately, she discovered that everything she needed to be happy was right there…she just didn’t know it! She got quiet, created space in her life, connected with her inner compass, which led to clarity and is now on a path to living life on her terms. Sabine’s mission in life is to trust in the possibilities, not by what she can see.Connect with Sabine: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabine-k-franco-esq-9a74598/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabine-k-franco-esq-9a74598/)
