The Amberly Lago Show: Stories of True Grit and Grace

"If I change one person's life, they can help other people's lives." That is what Callie Truelove told me during our conversation and she is a living example of this. I got to talk with Callie and her mom Tabitha and I was in tears over the beautiful stories they shared with me. Callie Truelove is a 16-year-old girl who has Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that gives her the superpower of LOVE! Rooted in a deletion of a number of specific genes in chromosome #7, this condition often causes devastating physical and cognitive complications, but it also has some near-miraculous side effects. Callie always finds a way to only see the good in the world and in things and people around her! This unburdened outlook on life comes from the heart of this angelic girl who touches lives of everyone that she encounters by either warming their day or making them smile to changing their lives forever. A new film is coming out that will chronicle Callie's journey as she spreads the love by meeting other special people with Williams syndrome and in the process, makes some of their dreams come true! What touched me most when talking with Callie was her huge heart, the way she spreads light and joy, and the hope I have in humanity's ability to love each other. Here's what you will learn:⁣ How impactful you can be in your sphere of influence The way love can change people's hearts How you can learn to accept yourself as you are Callie's advice for loving people who judge you Links mentioned in this episode: Truelove: The Film Get in touch with Callie: Instagram YouTube Twitter Facebook Unlock your highest potential and start living the life you deserve!

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.

Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of transformation and living a life of joy. Letting go of shame allows us to step into our power, love ourselves and others, and be the person we are truly meant to be. Being born with hemihyperplasia and looking "different" from everyone else, losing her father at a very young age, and undergoing complicated surgeries were some of the hard truths our guest today experienced growing up. In this episode, Natalie James shares her story on how she let go of shame, conquered her adversity, and walked the path of self-love and self-acceptance. For 20 years Natalie gained valuable experience through her career in politics and was inspired by the stories of female entrepreneurs, for their sense of adventure and willingness to take risks. Feeling a strong desire to make a drastic change in her own life, Natalie set out to take a detour and left her stable career to carve her own path by following her heart. She is the CEO of Toronto's most exclusive blow dry bar, Vent Blow Dry Bar. She didn't let her disorder hinder her from going after her dreams but instead, was inspired to create something to empower women, help them build their self-confidence and be comfortable in their own skin through a self-care experience unlike any other. In This Episode You Will Learn: True transformation takes place mentally, physically and spiritually with acceptance Letting go of shame Advocating for ourselves and listening to our heart How having a creative outlet can heal your shame How to create work/life balance between being a CEO, mom of three and still finding time for self-care Practicing self-love and self-acceptance transforms your life The importance of finding a support network of people who'll be with you through thick and thin Natalie's definition of resilience Get in touch with Natalie James: Instagram @im.nataliejames Instagram @ventblowdrybar Instagram @vent_mobilebeauty Natalie James - Personal Website Resources: Vent Blow Dry Bar Thank you for joining us on the True, Grit, & Grace Podcast!
