Finding Freedom in Overcoming Our Limits

Episode #11 – In a deep conversation about making big decisions and moving through substance abuse, Dee Dee brings to light her strengths, hardships, and journey as a former functional alcoholic. Her journey to freedom and vibrance for life now, many years later, is evident in her story. This episode is relatable for anyone feeling strapped by any type of coping mechanisms or even those that just want to see a way towards living a more vibrant, purposeful life.

Dee Dee’s journey began over 10 years ago. Her health was deteriorating, and after a year of diagnostic testing, I was diagnosed with severe gluten intolerance. At that time, she was also a functional alcoholic when it became apparent that she needed to make some seriously drastic changes in her life in order to move in a direction of health, happiness, and honoring herself and those that loved her. She felt the fear of the unknown and made the DECISION to create a new life. Change happens with the awareness that what you are doing is no longer working, and making the decision to break free from dysfunctional habits of any kind.

Dee Dee uses a holistic integrative method to inspire and create sustainable lifestyle changes that last. This is all unique to the individual, and creates lasting impact. “Health” is a Mind~Body~Soul Rhythm. Dee Dee now not only lives a more full, vibrant,healthy life but she also helps others do the same, no matter where they have come from in their walk of life. She offers a complimentary Discovery Session and would love the opportunity to get to hear your story and how you want to change it!

Curtis and Danni had two very different journeys to recovery. While Danni’s tough childhood was filled with abuse and exposure to alcohol and drugs, Curtis was surrounded by social drinkers. Each shares their experiences from the first drink to how they found sobriety, and how they ultimately met each other and embarked on a business venture to create The Sober app. 

The Sober app is a safe space where anyone suffering with addiction, or wanting to stay connected, can go to find recovery tools or get help virtually. From meetings and education to resources and community, it can be found on the app.

Episode 107: A conversation with Hank Dunn on hard choices at the end of life.

A Florida native, Hank is a graduate of the University of Florida with a degree in history and was on football scholarship. He received his Master of Divinity degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

After serving for five years right after seminary in a very traditional church in Macon, Georgia he moved to the Washington, DC area to be a part of the very nontraditional Church of the Saviour. For a year following the move to DC, Hank worked as a carpenter and then for four years directed an inner-city ministry for hard-to-employ people. In 1983 Chaplain Dunn began his healthcare work as a nursing home chaplain. He has served as a hospice chaplain and volunteered nights and weekends as an on-call chaplain at a community hospital.

He is a past president of the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association and has served on several ethics committees. Hank is a frequent speaker nationally on the topic of making end-of-life decisions and spirituality and healthcare.

To help him explain end-of-life decisions to patients and families, he wrote a booklet to hand to them so they could reflect on the issues discussed. As an afterthought, he sent the book out to other institutions to see if they would be interested in purchasing it for their clients. First published in 1990, Hard Choices for Loving People: CPR, Feeding Tubes, Palliative Care, Comfort Measures, and the Patient with a Serious Illness is now in its Sixth Edition, with over 3.9 million copies sold, and it is being used in more than 5,000 hospitals, nursing homes, faith communities and hospice programs nationwide. His second book, Light in the Shadows: Meditations While Living with a Life-Threatening Illness, is a collection of reflections on the emotional and spiritual concerns at the end of life. Besides speaking on topics related to his books, Chaplain Dunn has also been a leader of silent retreats. Hank has recently moved to Oxford, Mississippi after 39 years living in the DC suburbs of Virginia. He enjoys fly fishing, wilderness camping, hiking, kayaking and life in general.

Climbing Out of Rock Bottom

Episode # 10 – Woof! The unexpected parts of life are HARD! In this episode, I dive into losing a job and the beauty that came out of it…after the panic and hard parts dissipated. The conversation moves into coming up against the ‘ledges’ of life and what it means to find it in yourself to close you eyes and take the leap. I will be honest, this one is raw, cathartic, and truly cracked me open, so I certainly hope it can help you to find it’s way into your soul to gain forward movement in any hard parts of your own life. My love letter to you in this episode is, ‘never forget the beauty that comes from the rubble…you phoenix you!’
