Here's what you will learn:⁣ How Princeton grew through his childhood abuse and trauma (2:15) How he navigated and masked his feelings through gang life and drugs and surviving an attempted suicide (7:13) The importance of connection in fighting negative thoughts (10:19) How everything can change with one word (15:13) Princeton's experience with studying the Bible (21:09) What would he say to those trapped in victimhood (25:35) The importance of consistency (31:41) How to build unity and conquer prejudice (38:39) How we rise to solve the problem once and for all (45:41) "Life comes to break the idea of us, so we can break through." Today's guest on the podcast is someone special. He has overcome some of the biggest challenges anyone faces to become a coach (working with the likes of Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi) and commit his life to serving others on the path of self-mastery. After dealing with abuse as a child, being molested, struggling with drugs, and alcoholism, Princeton's life felt shattered. He lost himself and it led him into a deep depression. After a failed suicide attempt at the age of 23, he had a major awakening in his life. It took what he thought was broken and showed him that he had the power to change his story. That's exactly what he did. He chose to become a champion in his life and not the victim! He had to choose to evolve his life mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Teaching others self-mastery, and how to evolve in every aspect of their lives is now his main focus. He is an advocate for expedited growth and active responsiveness that manifest optimal results. He has been a coach for the past 16 years, spoken to thousands of people, and is preparing to take things to a new level with the Evolved Mastery platform.

If you've had a health challenge hit you sideways and seem to take over your life, this conversation is for you. I got to talk with Dawnmarie about her experience of getting MS (multiple sclerosis) and the choices she has made since then to live fully. Personal health battles and emotional struggles were the fuel for Dawnmarie Deshaies to start the global wellness brand Dawnmariehealthyandfit, LLC. For decades she has lived with and suffered from a chronic autoimmune disease that impacted her life in many different ways - Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, essentially the brain and spinal cord. Through her journey of learning about the disease, personal self-care and finding well-being, an idea was sparked that would allow Dawnmarie to share with others the experience to health, self-care, mindfulness, restoration and positivity. By helping others heal and paying it forward, this has in turn helped to foster her own continual healing. Dawnmarie Deshaies has gathered her leading wellness allies and experts to create a multi-dimensional program that approaches every aspect of real well-being: mindfulness, nutrition, fitness, self-love and positivity. Dawnmarie shares her story with authenticity and relatability that I love. She is an incredible example of facing some of the hardest parts of life and choosing the very best.

Here's what you will learn:⁣ Where addiction comes from and why it's so enticing Why addicts feel like themselves when using How to navigate creating healthy boundaries with your family What is underneath the shame and anger of addiction Why we must open up and talk about our shame in order to heal "Alcohol is the doorway, not the solution." I had a powerful conversation with Omar Pinto on this episode of the podcast where we dive deep into addiction. One way or another, pretty much everyone has experienced what addiction does. And it's not easy to talk about. But this is such an important part of healing and becoming the best versions of ourselves. I loved hearing Omar's perspective on this topic. Omar Pinto has had to overcome many addictions. Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, fast food, energy drinks, porn, laziness, complacency and the list goes on and on. There came a moment in his life where he felt completely hopeless. He felt as though he was powerless to change any unhealthy habits and all he wanted to do was find a way to feel better about himself. 10 years into his sobriety, he launched one of the most successful recovery podcasts on iTunes, The SHAIR Podcast with over 2 million downloads and listeners from all over the world. Coaching was the turning point that allowed him to get out of his own way and start becoming the person he was always meant to be. For years he worked on himself: one-on-one coaching, practitioner training, coaching certifications, seminars, workshops, extensive emotional healing work, you name it. He now specializes in helping people get out of their own way. He helps individuals identify the major pain points in their lives and break free from their past. He has over 15 years' experience in addiction recovery and has combined NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), personal development and emotional healing work to produce fast effective results. It was powerful to hear Omar talk about navigating healthy boundaries as he healed his own addictions - both with his family, friends, and himself.

This episode is packed with nuggets of wisdom that will change your life and the world for the better if taken to heart. I had the honor of sitting with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and was filled with hope for our future. At age 15, Eric Adams was beaten by police. This traumatizing incident inspired him to become a police officer to help reform NYC policing from the inside. He co-founded "100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care," an advocacy group that rose to nationwide prominence speaking out against police brutality, racial profiling, and departmental diversity. He served 22 years on the force and retired a highly respected Captain. We recorded this episode one week before the death of George Floyd and I feel we need Eric's guidance more than ever right now. Eric is what I call a real-life superhero who is creating real reform and real recovery. He traded in his blue uniform for a blue suit when he was elected to the New York State Senate and has earned widespread praise for creating innovative programs on issues ranging from conflict resolution to child abuse prevention. What touched me most when talking with Eric was his kind heart and his passion for helping others. He is on a mission to serve and strengthen his community and shares how change is possible and hope is available. You can get through the toughest times, handle the most painful experiences, become more resilient and create a safe community. Eric shows us how! Here's what you will learn:⁣ Eric's pivotal experience with the police How you can turn your pain into purpose How to develop a never give up mindset Being your own advocate for your health and wellbeing The power of community, giving back, a support system, and the social bank of life How to process trauma instead of ignoring it Reversing Type 2 Diabetes The life-changing benefits of a plant-based diet How to create reform and strengthen your community The astonishing power of words and how they can change your life Taking the time to get to know yourself and transforming your mind, body and soul Eric's 100 point system Being driven by purpose, being in the present and enjoying the journey to the destination Resilience--recovering from covid as a country.
