    135 {Stephanie Burns Part 1} Kicked out at 15, became human behaviour expert and military trailblazer

    Trigger warning: domestic violence Today we are joined by someone who has truly lived a life of challenges, lessons and intriguing turns. From navigating violence in the home as a teenager, to being a woman in the military when they had only just started accepting women back into the technical fields, Stephanie Burns has seen a lot. In 1973, Stephanie became one of the first women trained as an engineer by the U.S. Army Signal Corp. Graduating #1 in her class, she received orders to be trained as a military instructor. After leaving in 1976, she worked in corporate roles before starting her own training company in 1981, with NASA as her first client. Others, such as, ABC-TV and presenting at computer Expos in cities throughout the US followed, focusing on helping adults adapt to the desktop computer revolution. The experience working with adults as students fuelled her intense curiosity about the development of new skills and knowledge, taking advantage of the adult brain and nervous system. This led her to make a complete shift from the tech industry to the fields of human behaviour and adult education. A move to Australia in 1987 led to the development of the Learning to Learn program and many others, presented in corporate, government and education sectors. This program, along with others, and numerous books, have impacted many thousands. In this episode she shares: Her journey to getting into the militaryWhy she became an independent contractorWhat made her realise that adults in school behave like childrenThe challenge of teaching higher ranking adults in the militaryThe influence of Stephanie's father and intense pursuitsThe importance of a supportive communityHow a family change led her mother to abuseWhat happened when her mum thought she was doing drugs and submitted her into a heroin outpatient centreHer journey to find her dad at 15 when she was kicked out of her mum’s home Key Quotes “I thought, she's gonna bloody kill me. She's gonna kill me and she's not gonna know she did it." “In my first class were 30 men, they all outranked me, they were older than I was and they were physically bigger.” More about Stephanie Burns Find her books and email info via her website or go to her facebook or linkedin.

    133 {Emily-Jayne Sarrof} When Burnout Leads to a Domestic Violence Relationship

    Trigger warning: domestic violence and mental health When it comes to domestic violence, no two situations are the same. That is why it can be so hard to understand from the outside what exactly is going on. We might look at someone driven and successful and find it impossible to believe they could end up in such a situation, but there can be all kinds of factors that influence self worth and affect a person’s ability to break free. For Emily-Jayne Sarrof multiple instances of burn out played a big role in her story. Emily-Jayne is a Graduate of Architectural Design, Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, Business Mentor, social media figure, host of the Empower with Em Podcast, and 6 figure business owner. She is an expert in all things creative design and leverages this to help business owners scale through elevating their branding and marketing. In this episode she shares: -      The initial burn out she experienced -      The burnout she experienced from the job she'd taken to help stop burn out -      How domestic violence entered her life because of the burn out -      What she did wrong in hustling for her business -      What made her realise she had bad burn out -      Why she wouldn’t have listened to people warning her before she burnt out -      The moment that made her realise she was in a dv situation -      How a dog park helped heal her to the point of freeing herself -      The big impact her overseas travel had on her -      The importance of Defining Non-Negotiables in Life and Business -      How changing her belief system has helped her -      What does life look for her now Key Quotes “What was meant to become a journey for me to recover from burn out, became a journey to even deeper burn out.” “I remember saying to myself I don’t love this person, I can’t be with this person, and yet I didn’t leave “Ignoring the signs of needing rest is counter productive to the goals I want to be working towards in my business.” More about Emily-Jayne Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empowerwithem/ Her podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/empowerwithempodcast You can get involved with the podcast online On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeus Or on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeus If you want to contact the podcast, email us here: support@challengesthatchangeus.com Or check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.com If you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website: http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au For her other business you can find it through the websites: www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au Hosted on Acast.

    Do you love High performance then check out our 3 day summit in October this year, only 30 places: https://events.highperformanceleadershipsummit.com.au/october-summit-2024 Trigger warning: Domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health While abuse within the family is something we have discussed on this podcast, one topic we have not covered as much, which often goes hand in hand, is the abandonment many children go through in this experience.

As an adult she has done a loooot of healing and work, but her story is one that I think will resonate with a lot of people. In this episode she shares: Her experience of being abandoned by her mum as a childThe experience of spending time with her unstable mother as a childHer experience with domestic abuse in her mother’s homeHow her brother was manipulated and let down by their motherHow her relationship with her husband helped herWhat happened when she was diagnosed with infertilityWhat her journey to heal was likeThe thing that kept her going through recovery when things got really hardHow she developed her voice in adulthoodThe way she was able to work through her angerWhat she is doing now to help others Key Quotes “I had to completely cut my mother off.
