So many suffer in silence. We suffer from addiction, isolation, substance abuse, depression, and just the real struggles of daily life. For years I suffered in silence and saw no way out. I felt stuck. I overcame my struggles with abuse as a child and addiction. I now Overcome Outloud in the hopes of helping others find the courage and path to face the challenges in their lives. As we Overcome Outloud we share our story with others and provide a message of hope.

    OvercomeOutloud Ep.56 Michael Conklin

    I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Conklin, a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach, and a Life Coach trained at the Jay Shetty Certification School for Coaching. Michael started drinking alcohol at the early age of nine years old. He shares his story from addiction, waking up handcuffed in hospitals and sleeping off hangovers in the drunk tank to finding recovery through treatment, getting honest, and putting in the work everyday so that he can help others heal and recover as well. Micheal knows recovery is possible, and people are capable of achieving far greater things than they ever imagined. Realizing that a change as incredible as recovery was possible, he wanted to see if those sort of dramatic changes could be accomplished in all areas of his life. And they can! Michael founded Better Beginning Now, an organization that guides their clients to becoming aware of their passion and purpose by taking actions that are in alignment with core values to lead a life of abundance and fulfillment in mind, body & spirit. ​ Better Beginning Now believes that it’s the interconnectedness with others that makes this life truly worth living. They strive to build strong, trusting, caring and loving relationships with others. They help their clients, and guide them to acquire the skills necessary to build these same types of relationships with those already in their lives, and with the new people they connect with.

    OvercomeOutloud Ep.53 Barak Swarrtz

    Barak Swarttz is a leading strength and conditioning coach and former college basketball player. As an athlete, he leverages his experience and adversity to help others reach their full potential. As a trainer, Barak’s goal is to inspire everyone that he works with to find their own GRIT (gain, resilience in Time.) He also uses fitness as a vehicle for enhancing and improving every aspect of his clients' lives. Barak Swarttz trains NBA, WNBA, and Euroleague basketball players, as well as anyone who wants to reach their fitness goals! His family moved to Israel when he was six; that was when he first picked up a basketball. Shortly after Barak returned to the states and basketball became his life. Training, playing, and competing were the only things he cared about. At 16 years-old, Barak was diagnosed with 2 hairline fractures and Spondylolisthesis in his back. He was put in a back brace and shut down from activity for 6 months. He pushed through his pain and continued to play eventually playing college ball at Elmira College and then transferred for his last two years at Curry College. Barak spent countless time in surgery and rehab. He knew he wasn’t on his way to the NBA, but he never allowed his work ethic be the reason he wasn’t getting better. Barak thought that being injured and never reaching his potential was one of his life’s biggest failures, but now realizes that it’s actually his life’s biggest asset. Barak’s experience of being an injured athlete gave him a window of opportunity to help athletes become so healthy, fit, elite and strong that they don’t have to endure what he did.

    OvercomeOutloud Ep.52 Jason Redman

    In our first episode of Season 2 I had the incredible opportunity to speak with retired Navy SEAL Lieutenant Jason Redman. During his 21-year Navy career, Jason spent 11 years as an enlisted SEAL and 10 years as a SEAL officer leading teams in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today he puts his vast experience and expertise to work as speaker, coach, author and trainer, helping individuals, teams and organizations of all types and sizes to define and implement lasting change, even in the wake or face of failure, crisis and adversity. He’s lived through it all at the highest level in his Navy SEAL career: From failures as a young leader that resulted in him almost being kicked out of the SEAL teams, to redemption and leading teams in intense combat operations in Iraq, to being shot eight times, including a round to the face, and nearly dying during an enemy ambush, Jason has lived the OVERCOME Mindset he now teaches others. He has done an incredible job of taking these lessons learned and making them relatable to teams, businesses and organizations around the world. Jason teaches individuals, companies and teams how to overcome failure, setbacks and catastrophic crisis through his incredible presentations on life ambushes and his proven “Get off the X” methodology to not only survive the crisis but thrive and launch from it!
