    #127 From Token Friend to Textile Artist | Dr. Veronica Anderson

    Dr. Veronica Anderson is a multifaceted entrepreneur, healthcare expert, and Kolbe-Certified Human Design Coach who has authored 4 books on holistic medicine and personal growth. Have you ever felt like a victim, and if so … what did you do about it? Dr. Veronica first appeared on the GFR Show in September 2021 - Episode 83: From Depressed Eye Surgeon to Clairvoyant Psychic. Now she is back to talk about how working in a predominately white organization made her feel victimized AND eventually empowered her to birth a business that fully represents her ethnic identity and personal ideals. Tune in to hear Dr. V’s new story detailing her experience as a Black woman in the white-dominated wellness industry during the aftermath of George Floyd’s 2021 murder. She gets into the ways her well-intentioned colleagues missed the mark with their attempts at allyship, and we find out what (glaringly, in retrospect) simple change in communication could have made a big difference for everyone involved.  We talk about how being tokenized by some, while also being excluded and canceled by others for speaking her truth, made Dr. Veronica feel like a victim. And she confesses how she initially leaned into that role and allowed her external world to impact her vision of herself … and kept her trapped in the victim role rather than pushing against it and transforming it Learn what spiritual lessons helped Dr. Veronica shift from victimhood to empowerment, and discover how her struggles served as a path to a new, more aligned business. Plus, she tells us exactly what type of support she’d love to get from Lisa, and other white colleagues, that would help her out most as she embarks on her next evolution. You can listen in wherever you get podcasts, or watch on our YouTube channel to see some of the gorgeous textile designs Dr. Veronica has commissioned for her yoga and meditation product line.

    #123: From the Dumbest Decision to Global Cultural Change Agent | Zarinah El-Amin | 10/21/21 REPLAY+

    Zarinah El-Amin is an award-winning anthropologist, author and TEDx speaker whose company, Book Power Publishing, revolves around helping clients create cultural change through books and global experiences.  What is the dumbest decision you've ever made in your life? For this special replay episode that we’re releasing on both audio and as a video on my YouTube channel, Zarinah is back with an update on what’s happened since she first appeared on the GFR Show and opened up about the “dumbest decision” she ever made. She talks about another major loss she's experienced these last couple years, and shares what she's learned around acceptance and letting go. Being raised a Muslim, Zarinah was surrounded by family friends from many cultures, but as a student in Detroit and later at Howard University, she wasn’t exposed to a lot of different people. Find out what “clicked” that made her know she was a “person of the world.” And how that led to eye-opening experiences like living in Egypt and dating someone in a different caste, and revitalizing orphan programs in Sierra Leone. You’ll also hear the lessons she learned in her 40th year—a spiritual year of revelations for many Muslims—which came in a series of GFR moments including losing her mom, divorcing her husband of 14 years, and moving in with her father after his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Plus, you’ll hear the transformational lesson Zarinah learned when she repressed her true nature to try to make her marriage work.  ResourcesGrab Zarinah’s gift here: The Complete Self- Publishing Checklist The 12 GFR Commandments - download your own copy nowTo watch on YouTube

    #122: The Cost of Not Owning Our Value | Lisa Cherney featuring GFR Commandment #10

    Lisa’s her own guest as she examines GFR Commandment #10: Know that the struggle/stress/pain prevented with your expertise has enormous monetary value! Are you owning your value? One of the biggest hurdles we face as entrepreneurs is undercharging for our products and services, which as Lisa explains on today’s show, comes from minimizing our expertise and the contribution we make. And spoiler: it ends up costing way more than just your income. We’re releasing this episode on video, so come over to our YouTube channel to learn about the spiritual and mental price we pay when we don’t own our worth as human beings and ask for what we need. Hear stories of how Lisa’s increasingly stepped into her value (financially and otherwise) through her 20+ years in business. And, she shares a recent experience that stretched her to really own her expertise once again. Lisa talks about her 12 UnMentor Milestones for evolving experts, and takes a closer look at three that relate to the cost of not owning your value. Plus, she offers some ways you can identify where you’re undervaluing yourself, as well as some tips on how to start embodying what you're worth.

    #121: From Chronic Pain & Perfectionism to Mass Liberation | Dr. Aziz Gazipura | 12/17/20 REPLAY+

    Dr. Aziz Gazipura first appeared on the GFR Show in December 2020, and his episode is one of our most downloaded to date! He’s the founder of the Center For Social Confidence, host of Shrink for the Shy Guy podcast, and today we’re releasing, “From Chronic Pain & Perfectionism to Mass Liberation” on my YouTube channel for the first time, as well as re-airing it on the podcast. The question for this episode is a two-parter: would you consider yourself a perfectionist and, do you have aches or pains you struggle to fix? They may seem unrelated, but as you’ll hear in Dr. Aziz’s story of losing his ability to walk at age 15, and his autoimmune disease that caused a lifelong struggle with chronic pain, our mental and physical selves are a lot more connected than you might realize. Listen as Dr. Aziz shares what he discovered about the mind-body link between his perfectionism and his pain, and tells us how his healing journey eventually led to one of his greatest physical achievements. You’ll find out what lessons Dr. Aziz learned from his physical body, what he means by “holistic mass liberation,” and how he’s now helping others achieve it.  RESOURCES: Download Dr. Aziz’s free bonus video course: 5 Steps to Unleash Your Inner ConfidenceTo get your copy of the 12 GFR Commandments click right here!To watch on YouTube Did you enjoy the podcast?If you’re a fan of the GFR Show and you enjoyed this episode, it would mean the world to me if you’d drop a 5-star review here and leave a positive note.
