Success Through Failing's Podcast

Today's episode is all about how life can throw you curveballs at you unexpectantly. It is what you do with these moments that truly define a person.  Becky Mackintosh is one of those individuals that chose to love deeper, give more, and understand others through these challenges and has learned to embrace and love her journey.  She talks about one of her unexpected life occurrences when her wonderful son opened up about the fact that he is gay. This once shocking discovery has allowed her to create a platform for change, acceptance, and unconditional love for a topic that is often not discussed amongst parents.  You are going to fall in love with this incredible woman and be inspired to allow your challenges to become the catalyst for positive change in your own life.     

I believe that this episode will impact so many listeners. My friend Sabrina was a survivor of sexual abuse and victimization from an early age. The reality is that 1 in every 3 females has been through this horrific experience.  As she started to heal- she was impacted by another traumatic event that caused her to question her actual existence.  Sabrina takes us on her journey on all of her cycles through hurt, anger, retaliation and finally to a place of forgiveness and true healing.  She now teaches others how to come to a place of seeing other through what she calls, "compassionate eyes". This new lens has literally shifted her life out of a dark and seemingly endless dark place, to one of light and true joy.  Please share this encouragement with any woman or man that you know that has been victimized so that they can hear these words of healing.   

This podcast is a bit different as I interview an incredible woman who isn't currently featured in my book.  I did so because her story is so incredibly powerful, uplifting, and I knew it would change the hearts of thousands.  Seven years ago the unthinkable happened to Amanda's family- her two-year-old boy never woke up from his sleep. This tragedy led her to go on a journey of grief, deep reflection, and understanding the mental health issues that accompanied it.  She is now a voice of hope for those that experience anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. She is a beacon of light in a sometimes dreary world. Get your tissues out for this one- you will need them.

I am going to confess something.....I have NEVER before cried before on an episode until.....now. During one segment of my interview with the beautiful Alycia Huston, I literally got goosebumps, had tears streaming down my face, and was inspired to really find my strength and leadership from within.  Alycia relays how she built a mega-successful brick and mortar company from the ground up, and then how she later started her personal development and leadership programs that are selling out.

This is where it gets unbelievable. You HAVE to listen to this episode. It will completely fill your cup and leave you knowing exactly where to go from here on your own journey to success. 

Julie May....one of my favorite people.
