" We are all human and struggle with so many different things.
Fight: Anger Response
Flight: Anxiety or OCD like response
Freeze: Depression symptoms, feeling really sad
Fawn: People pleasing, codependent 
We start to merge with these thoughts and believe them as truth.
A lot of my clients struggle with people pleasing, codependency, seeking validation or self abandoning.
I'm a huge proponent of exercise, eating in a way that nourishes the body, and surrounding yourself with the right people.
WE CAN'T CHANGE THROUGH SHAME, WE CAN ONLY CHANGE THROUGH LOVE."
- Valerie Rubin
 
"You have to let go so it doesn't hurt you anymore, right?" - T. Douglas

"If the rock doesn't exist for you, then fine, ya know?
I keep leaning towards the connections are what's needed because without those connections, we're not really understanding the world around us very well, and we are also not understanding ourselves.
There was somedays I just didn't want to get up.
I think what's important and what I've learned and one of the reasons I wanted to come on this podcast, being, I haven't shared a whole lot openly about my circumstances or what I went through.
Please don't give up, please just tell yourself one more day. I've had to do that several times, and as shitty as one day is, we don't have to relive that day. We already have Monday and fuck Monday, we're done now; we are onto Tuesday. Each new day brings a chance for some sort of hope, some sort of change, just something."
- Brandy Marie

"He would, yea, hurt me but also hurt himself, and I would watch, and then he would say things like 'this is what you do to people!'" -JB
"But as a 15 year old girl, I took that in, in a way that I had to decondition myself from that for many years." - JB
"It's typical with domestic violence is 7 times. The woman goes back 7 times. That's like an average number for women who go back into domestic violence." - JB
"I had no closure because I was kept away."-JB
They kicked me and my dad out before she died; even though it was 20min later. They wouldn't let us stay. There was so much craziness that went on during that time."- JB
A lot of my family now dislikes me because they think I killed him."- JB

TAT ANU HA AMOUN DI" - The Trifold Sage

Mike Jarrell  is a life a coach and mentor. However, he wasn't always that way. Coming from an extremely abusive home, Mike found comfort in hard-core drugs such as meth and heroin. He got clean and joined the army to get away from his abusive home. Coming home from Bosnia was hard on Mike and he eventually turned back to drugs to forget about his experiences in the military. In a last ditch effort to try and turn things around, Mike found solace in CBT therapy. Doesn't mean there wasn't relapse along the way but Mike has fought through his traumas and healed himself so he can help heal others. You can find Mike on Facebook under himself, his group Deacons Legacy, and TikTok. Mike also is an author and has 3 books on Amazon and hopefully soon Audible as I will be narrating and producing audiobook versions for his books! Mike also has a website https://deaconslegacy.site

"Your kids see it, they know it, they feel it, you can't hide nothing from them, they're always watching. It will definitely influence them and they will have issues from it.
If you're not taking care of yourself, you're not taking care of your kids.
Just to see what those people were doing to each other was absolutely like something out of a horror movie. I came home messed up, really messed up. 
We have 24hrs, the same 24hrs everyone else does, what are you going to do with it?
The steps you take today can create a better future." - Mike Jarrell

Maria had a simple life growing up in the family restaurant. That was until a fate filled day sent the FBI knocking on her door. Maria Palmer is Best Selling author of On the Rocks: The Primadonna Story and daughter of the famous restaurateur Joe Costanzo Jr. Moreover, Maria is a very lovely and remarkable woman and I am grateful and happy to know her!  Join Maria and I as we discuss her book and her life behind the rocks of the Primadonna, the most notorious restaurant in Pittsburgh.  As a bonus, Maria has offered for me to speak with her Father Joe, so stay tuned for part 2 of Behind the Rocks featuring Joe Costanzo Jr! Find Maria on Facebook, Amazon, and her website www.mariacpalmer.com. https://a.co/d/dUett77 
"On the Rocks was born out of a family history project that Maria felt had commercial appeal. The book’s subject, Joseph Costanzo, Jr., former owner and operator of The Primadonna Restaurant, is a well-known personality in the restaurant world. He was one of the most decorated restaurateurs in the United States, winning multiple awards both locally and nationally. He hosted a radio show called “Fine Dining in Pittsburgh and Around the World” and wrote a weekly newspaper column in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about food and the local restaurant scene. At the height of his success, he ran for Commissioner of Allegheny County, a county encompassing the city of Pittsburgh and surrounding suburbs, with a population of 1.3 million people." - mariacpalmer.com 
"I always tell this to people not because I'm tooting my own horn, but because I'm trying to let people know that sometimes the limitations that others put on us, are just that. You have to be your own yes." - Maria
"You gotta bring that type of passion. If you don't have it, you're doing the wrong thing. You need to find what it is that is your purpose here in this life. If we never put anything into the world, nothing will come out of it." - Maria
