Breathe , Eat , Poop, Grow : Author Brian Heilig

Brian and his wife Diana never had in their birth plan the events that unfolded the day they decided they wanted to start a family. They never expected it to be so hard ,first ,to get pregnant, but then to have a healthy pregnancy for mom and baby. When we make that initial plan we do not see what lurks in the shadows , the unforeseeable. What lay ahead for Brian and Diana was a crash course in parenting a micro preemie , when in order to save Diana , their 26 week old baby boy needed to be born. To make it even more intense, they were in Mexico. Far from family, far from technology as we know it in the states . What they didn't understand until later that their one pound baby was going to have one heck of a fight on his hands. Brian shares with me the experience , the helplessness he felt, the disbelief and the shock of what do I do ? We talk about what its like to put your faith in the doctors, your prayers, your community , even if only online and of course your faith in God. Brian shares that there are more prayers said in a NICU than in church. I believe him. Breathe , Eat , Poop , Grow became their song to their one pound miracle

Walking Out of Shame : Author Aly McDonnell

Walking out of Shame is exactly what you do when you take the path of healing. Aly McDonnell sums it up in the title of her book. To me ,a generational survivor of familial abuse as well, this conversation was paramount to my own healing. The mental toll it takes. The anger from everyone who was involved . The anger toward everyone who knows and does nothing. Aly lived it, walked through it , then walked out of shame by sharing her story. I was given in this conversation a new perspective from a time in society where it was normal to marry at 15. A time where the women had no say in their basic human rights. Girls were seen differently and patterns began to emerge. From those patterns came a life of living feelings of fault. Blamed . Stigmatized. Out-casted. Silenced. Most often the secret dies with the victim , but even though the secret goes, events sometimes go on to repeat. Today Aly is a crusader for healing. By speaking up and speaking out she is letting people know that healing is for everyone. No matter how worthless you think you may be. No matter what you overcame your story is nothing to be ashamed of . Enjoy our talk of self love, compassion, overcoming and being able to claim the light in life once again.

Matteo Esposito : Autistic Man to Playwright

Matteo wrote the following after we recorded our Conversation. I chose to interview Matteo because he was a playwright with a play debuting off off broadway but…as they do this conversation went all ways!! Matteo is a man with autism who has been bullied. This is what he has to say: Shakespeare once wrote "All the world's a Stage, and we (As in People) are nearly players" That line couldn't be further from the truth, but what he didn't mention is: life is not a normal experience. It's a hard experience for each and every one of us. People are not normal! Why? Because we are individually influenced by many many things, from what our parents say and do, to what the media says, to what the latest gadget is. All those things don't matter at the end of the day and unconditional love should matter the most. People lack unconditional love, and it makes my emotions run. You see, I'm autistic, and most times jokes, sarcasm and teasing bother me, especially when someone in public says it to me. Then I react, whether it be insulting them and/or assaulting them. They think "What's that person's problem?!" when they should know the world is not normal. It's not an excuse, it's not an explanation, it's a fact!! Then, some may call me, the autistic person that "has a problem" ignorant for not understanding society's ways. My question to all of us, including myself, is why are we still "following society and its ways" when we live in a world that is not normal? The answer is more complex than we all think!!!

Conversations With Colie Ep.10: Abigail White

We all wear masks to a degree in our daily lives if you work in a service-type job it's necessary sometimes to be engaging and friendly even in a high-stress situation. Although you may not feel that way.it's what you have to do to give an experience in those instances. What if that mask becomes a means to conceal your true self because you feel you have to show up in a certain way in your life to check boxes you felt pressure to check. Even if it wasn't said directly. What if when you finally felt comfortable removing your mask you lost those close to you because they couldn't connect with the person behind the mask? That is how Abigail felt. The pressure that was built to keep up the masking became detrimental to her life. Can you relate?
