    Beyond Circumstances: The Mindset That Changes Everything

    Mary Farias & Brian Swift Economy Creators What does it truly mean to rise beyond adversity—and not just survive, but lead? In this powerful episode of Economy Creators™, Mary sits down with Brian P. Swift, J.D.—motivational speaker, bestselling author, nonprofit founder, leadership coach, and living example of resilience in action. Known as “The Quadfather,” Brian’s life changed forever at the age of 17 when a tragic accident left him a C6 quadriplegic. But rather than allowing that moment to define him, Brian made a different decision—one that would shape the trajectory of his entire life. He chose to redefine what was possible. Through faith, discipline, and a relentless commitment to growth, Brian went on to earn his degree from Saint Xavier University and his Juris Doctor from DePaul University College of Law, becoming a National Negotiations Finalist. He spent over two decades in corporate leadership, training, sales, and marketing—helping launch and grow multiple successful companies. But his story doesn’t stop there. Brian is also a certified John Maxwell Coach and Speaker, a lifelong coach of football and basketball, and the co-founder of Swift Outdoor Accessible Recreation (SOAR)—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping people with disabilities reconnect with the outdoors and break through perceived limitations. In this conversation, Brian shares the mindset that has guided his journey—and continues to guide the lives of those he coaches. You’ll hear powerful insights on: • Why “failure doesn’t exist”—only learning and growth • How your self-talk shapes your reality and your results • The truth about comparison—and why it steals your joy • Why success begins with writing down your goals and living them daily • How to adapt, adjust, and move forward—no matter your circumstances • The role of faith, perspective, and identity in creating a meaningful life • Why giving, asking, and serving others are key to fulfillment and success Brian’s philosophy is simple, yet profound: Start where you are. Decide what you want. And move forward—consistently. Because the formula for success doesn’t change based on your circumstances. It’s not about what happens to you. It’s about how you choose to think, respond, and act. This episode is a powerful reminder that your life is not defined by your conditions—but by your decisions. 🔗 Connect with Brian Swift 🌐 Speaker & Coach: https://www.brianpswift.com 📚 Bestselling Author: https://smile.amazon.com/Brian-P-Swift/e/B00G008SS0/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1 🌿 SOAR Nonprofit: https://www.soarnonprofit.com 🎧 SOAR Breaking Barriers Podcast: https://youtu.be/KA_tZ-89UkA?si=-7LVDEAm5eCQ7KlA 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-p-s-7b2a8010/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thee__quadfather/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brian.p.swift.jd

    Lotus Health Foundation: Building Community Wellness One Soul at a Time

    Mei Liu, Dr Jengyu Lai, Suzanne Koepplinger Healing Steps to Wellness Mei Liu, Dr Jengyu Lai, Suzanne Koepplinger Healing Steps to Wellness In this heartfelt episode of Healing Steps To Wellness, Mei Liu and Dr. Jengyu Lai sit down with Suzanne Koepplinger, the early funder and champion who helped them secure seed grants to launch the very first Lotus Health Foundation Community One Symposium and gala more than 10 years ago. Together, they reflect on those beginnings and how that “risky bet” on community-based, whole-person care has grown into a movement for healing justice and community wellness. Suzanne shares her journey from leading the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center to directing the Catalyst Initiative at the George Family Foundation, where she focused on integrative health, cultural healing, and supporting grassroots leaders closest to community needs. She explains how historic trauma, toxic stress, and “soul wounds” show up in Indigenous communities and beyond—and why funding must honor community-defined practices, from traditional foods and ceremony to elders and healers in residence. Mei and Dr. J connect this to their own work at Lotus Health Foundation and lifestyle medicine, discussing how our healthcare system overvalues procedures, undervalues conversation, and often treats disease instead of promoting wellness. They talk about burnout among clinicians and nonprofit staff, the need for self-care and forgiveness, and practical ways organizations can support nervous system regulation and resilience so they can better serve their communities. If you care about health equity, Indigenous and community-led healing, or the story behind Lotus Health Foundation’s beginnings, this conversation will inspire you to see wellness as both individual and collective work—built one relationship, and one soul, at a time.

    You’re Not Burned Out—You’re Disconnected (Here’s Why)

    You’ve built a life that works. Your career. Your family. Your responsibilities. And yet… something feels off. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Why can’t I make myself care the way I used to?”, this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. In this episode of Healthy Living, Happy Midlife, I sit down with mindfulness instructor Ana Tootle to talk about what it actually means to reset your mind and body in midlife—without adding more pressure, more rules, or more overwhelm. We explore why so many women feel disconnected during this phase of life, how your nervous system plays a critical role, and why the solution isn’t doing more… it’s creating space to reconnect with yourself. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning how to pause, listen, and respond to what your body and mind have been trying to tell you all along. ✨ What You’ll Learn (3 Learning Objectives) Understand why high-achieving midlife women often feel disconnected, unmotivated, or “off” despite doing everything right Learn what mindfulness and meditation actually are—and how to make them simple, realistic, and effective in your daily life Discover how reconnecting with your inner wisdom can improve clarity, emotional balance, and decision-making 💡 Key Takeaways You don’t need an hour to reset your mind—even 3–5 minutes of intentional pause can shift your entire day The benefits of mindfulness don’t always happen during the practice—they show up in how you respond, think, and feel afterward Midlife isn’t a breakdown—it’s a recalibration, and learning to listen inward is the key to moving forward

    3,000 Episodes Later: What Sara Troy Knows About Life & Leadership

    Mary Farias & Sara Troy Economy Creators Mary Farias & Sara Troy Economy Creators 3,000 Episodes Later: What Sara Troy Knows About Life & Leadership What if life isn’t something to get through… but something to fully express? In this deeply meaningful conversation, I sit down with Sara Troy—founder of Self Discovery Media and host of over 3,000 podcast episodes spanning more than 14 years. Sara has dedicated her life to elevating voices, sharing stories, and creating a platform where truth, service, and human connection take center stage. But this conversation goes far beyond podcasting. Sara invites us into a different way of living—one rooted not in survival, but in conscious creation. So many people today are operating in reaction mode. Responding to circumstances. Moving through life based on what’s happening around them rather than what’s being called from within. And while that may feel normal, Sara reminds us that it is not our natural state. We are here to express. We are here to contribute. We are here to live in alignment with something deeper. Through her journey, Sara has seen firsthand what happens when individuals choose to use their voice—not just to speak, but to serve. When we begin to share from a place of truth, something shifts. We connect. We expand. We create impact in ways that go far beyond what we can see. This episode is a powerful reflection on what it means to: • Move beyond survival and into purposeful living • Use your voice as a vehicle for connection and contribution • Listen—truly listen—to yourself and others • Step into presence instead of noise • Build a life and personal economy rooted in service Sara’s perspective is both grounding and expansive. She reminds us that we don’t need to chase significance—we become significant through how we show up, how we listen, and how we serve. In the world of Economy Creators™, this is everything. Leading your economy is not just about income—it’s about expression. It’s about circulation. It’s about bringing your ideas, your voice, and your presence into the world in a way that creates value for others. Sara has done this consistently for over a decade. Not for recognition. Not for validation. But for service. And in doing so, she has built something truly extraordinary. This conversation is an invitation. To slow down. To tune in. To recognize that your voice matters. And to begin using it—intentionally, authentically, and powerfully. Because when you do, you don’t just change your life… You impact the lives of others in ways you may never fully see.
