The Overcomers podcast interviews people about overcoming adversity. We believe that adversity can become your advantage. We ask people to tell us how their past has built muscles instead of scars. The topics that we cover include abuse, addiction, incarceration, depression, anxiety, health problems, loss of income, loss of employment. Each person will share how they navigated these situations in life to become the Overcomer that they are today.

S12: Episode 10 - Yvette Salva’s Personal Journey and Recovery from Different Types of Addiction
During childhood, we learned the importance of self-love, and indeed, we genuinely loved ourselves without considering the idea of not doing so. However, as we age, our perception of beauty changes, leading us to conform to societal norms to feel attractive.
That is the story of our guest for this episode, Yvette Salva. She came from Spain and migrated to the USA in her teenage years. She didn't feel she belonged and was doing a lot of things to prove that she belonged. In that process, she became addicted to an eating disorder, progressing from anorexia and bulimia to alcohol and then drug addiction. She hit rock bottom and thought to herself that she was done.
This episode offers valuable insights into overcoming challenges, showcasing Yvette's journey from adversity to achieving what she once deemed impossible. Now living her dream, she not only embodies personal success but also uplifts and empowers women to become the best versions of themselves. -
S12: Episode 9 - Finding Your Imbalance is Finding True Meaning of Life; Brett Klika’s 100 day High Performance Program
You won’t regret giving your full attention to the things that matters to you the most. This is the best lesson that Brett learned and applied in his life with his program. Before Brett’s wife died he did not regret that he said ‘I love you’ one last time.
Brett is a renowned speaker, best-selling author, and award-winning health and performance coach. He shared valuable advice and life lessons, illustrating what an imbalanced life should look like.
He also shared a bit about his program The Energy100™ Program. So don’t miss this opportunity to learn this awesome lesson from Brett!
The following important points were discussed:
You get to the point that you do what you love to do but you get pushed to the wall.
Busyness is not a currency of anything. It's when we cease to embrace busyness that we find the opportunity to move forward.
It’s small things. Very small specific things that can make your life change.
‘Collect the bad bottles of wine’ — simply means to savor the moment, and open the best ones, make that moment count and memorable. -

Thanksgiving is celebrated every year for us to be reminded of the things we are grateful for. But we can do that everyday, can’t we?
We have a lot of things to be grateful for everyday and that is what Michael Godard shared in today’s podcast.

He lost his daughter due to cancer and now he is supporting cancer foundations.
As he said that if you're seeking to make a difference, start by helping other people make a difference.
Despite what he has been through, he remains grateful. In fact, he writes a gratitude list every morning to remind himself that life is a miracle, and we ought to be thankful for it.
Happy Thanksgiving!

S12: Episode 5 - Exploring Deep Health Coaching with Sarah Reynolds
Life should not be taken lightly. As humans, we all face inevitable stressors, regardless of our current experiences or achievements. It's crucial to maintain our mental, emotional, and other aspects of health, not just our physical bodies. This is because we are more than just the physical aspect that many people focus on when they go to the gym to stay fit.
Sarah Reynolds understands this truth. With her bachelor's degree in Psychology, concentration in sports psychology, and over a decade in the fitness industry, her approach to health delves deeper than merely going to the gym or eating healthy foods.
Tune in to this episode of the Overcomer's Podcast as we learn from Sarah Reynolds about the importance of deep coaching. She emphasizes that health encompasses more than the physical; numerous aspects need consideration to achieve one’s definition of a “fulfilled” life.
