In the United States, the ever-growing awareness of mental health is helping to bring more conversations, support, and resources on a variety of different fronts. Not all know, however, how to help those that deal with prolonged feelings, thoughts, & emotions that create loneliness, a common root of many types of mental illness. Today’s episode explores two different angles: the personal and professional, of how to help others cope with this condition and address some “taboo-filled” aspects attached to it.

Joy is a sensation that can have multiple applications in our well being. Whether it is for physical or mental purposes and/or refinements, joy can be the epiphany of why we perform the activities that we tend to do. The path towards finding joy can be riddled with many different obstacles, both in our personal lives and even for our career calling. Today's guest, Andrea Fung, shares her transformational journey from being a lawyer to become a healer through another means. The life that we are dictated to lead can provide no joy, but when we have the "breadcrumbs" that lead us to a greater calling, there is no denying the healing potential it can have not only on yourself, but on others as well.

Have you ever been tested by someone, whether it is someone in your life or at your job/business, who did not give you the credibility that you deserve? Has your self worth and feeling of worthiness been put into question as a result of being challenged/misunderstood? Today’s episode focuses on not only the reaction that we, as humans, can possibly experience when we are put into question, but how the conversation can turn around using the “determination” value to prove to others, even though it is unnecessary, that we are worthy.

Journeys in our lives are made up of different paths that we take throughout the interactions that we have. Whether they are with people that we trust, people that we have met for the first time, or with those that are required to perform the duties and tasks that we are assigned personally and professionally, the ways in which we engage with life means exploring opportunities that we are normally comfortable with, but also not comfortable with. When it comes to the outdoors, nature can be a fearful experience to some. However, today's guest, Mike Martin, has not only walked on various paths in his life, but has used the power of "Mother Earth" to help combat many of the things that he has achieved. Through his impressive podcast experience and powerful storytelling that helps others, learn how his insights about life fundamentally changed not only his path in his life, but how he has helped other explore theirs using the power of nature along the way. This story will not only impact how you can make a difference in your own life, but in someone else's.

We each have a voice to share so much in this ever-changing world. The message that we have, however, can be simply “lost in translation”, especially with the number of different messages as a whole that we are faced with on average (325 emails, text messages, & ads combined!) How do we stand out from this overwhelming amount of information? Today’s episode takes us back to basics: knowing your purpose. Learning how to communicate to a smaller group first that can propel your message forwards can help your message excel its wildest potential.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Have you ever wished that someone would tell you the truth about a situation that took place, and that the feedback that you wished you could receive was more genuine, especially when you know it’s not complete with information? Stunting personal & professional growth by not giving constructive feedback can be tremendously damaging if it is not shared, but can also suffer the same consequences if the way that it is delivered is carefully considered. In today’s episode about a contemporary take on “honesty is the best policy”, we dive into how to handle these conversations with constructive feedback, attention to non-verbal cues, and the integrity each of us have in sharing important information that can fundamentally change the trajectory of someone’s life.
