    Troy Haslinger on addiction, mental health, loss, redemption and finding your way back

    Troy Haslinger joins Celia’s Corner for a raw and unfiltered conversation about addiction, sobriety, mental health, grief, failure, faith, endurance, and finding a way forward. Troy is a TED Talk speaker, medical sales professional, author of Beautifully Dysfunctional, ultra-marathon runner, and charity founder. His memoir chronicles a deeply personal journey that began on a cold, blustery day in April 2011, when Troy learned that his dream job was slipping away and, on that same day, discovered that his sister Holly had been diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer. From battling alcohol addiction and mental health challenges to losing his sister, experiencing a near-death experience, running 65 miles straight, founding and ultimately being fired from his own charity, Troy’s story is filled with moments of profound struggle, unexpected lessons, and resilience. In this episode, Troy shares what it took to get sober, how Holly’s illness and death affected him, what failure taught him, the role God has played in his journey, and why he believes the most important message people can take from his story is simple: you are not alone.

    Understanding your brain color: Communication, relationships and the “BrainBow” with Sheila Glazov

    Why do some people seem to understand us effortlessly while others seem almost impossible to communicate with? Why can two people look at the exact same situation and see it completely differently? In this episode I’m joined by Sheila Glazov, best-selling author, award-winning personality expert, internationally known professional speaker, passionate educator, and creator of the What Color Is Your Brain?® methodology. Sheila’s approach simplifies the complex nature of four Brain Color Personalities and helps people understand the different ways we think, communicate, solve problems, and build relationships. During our conversation, Sheila explains why she calls individuals “BrainBows,” how discovering your Brain Color can improve communication, and how understanding other people’s perspectives can help reduce conflict and strengthen relationships. We also discuss Sheila’s experiences as an educator, her work with businesses, families, schools, and communities, the importance of acceptance rather than simply tolerance, and why Brain Colors should be viewed as an explanation—not an excuse—for inappropriate behavior. Sheila also shares how her children’s book, Princess Shayna’s Invisible Visible Gift, introduces younger audiences to the ideas of recognizing their own strengths while respecting the differences of others. For everyone listening, if you’d like to learn more about Sheila Glazov, explore her books, learn about her customized programs and workshops, or take one of her Brain Color Personality Quizzes, you can visit her website at https://sheilaglazov.com/
