How to Grieve with Grace in a National Health Pandemic

Crushing barriers to mental health and wellness through motivational speaking, therapy, online courses, and life coaching, Montrella Cowan is a licensed therapist, entrepreneur, best-selling author and all-around survivor who inspires everyday people and professionals to step into their greatness.

A firm believer of the mantra #TruthOverTrauma, Montrella is no stranger to trauma. Hailing from the inner-city projects in Brooklyn, New York, Montrella was surrounded by a plethora of generational woes, including teenage pregnancy, incarceration, welfare dependency and extreme poverty.

The taxing nature of her past traumas, including being raped at 14, giving birth at 15 and then losing that same daughter at 25 from lupus, has given Montrella an exceptional ear for listening and understanding clients. Founder of Affinity Health Affairs LLC, Montrella believes in a practical and holistic approach.

Bussed to Rich, White Middle School…

The thing about white privilege is that white people don’t see it. “White privilege” doesn’t mean your life hasn’t been hard, it simply means that your skin color isn’t one of the things making it harder. This series is meant to share experiences of real people who have experienced racism and still experience it. The goal is to shine a light so that we ALL see it and take actionable steps to do something about it.

Superficial Connections Drive Me Nuts

Jaclyn Zoccoli joins us for the Be Real, Get Real Podcast as we dive deep into the art of creating real connections. The frustration of spending hours networking on virtual platforms without a return in investment, is the pinnacle of what Jacque Zoccoli has experienced for years. So often people interact, spout their services to buy, and yet never really listen or connect heart to heart. This has frustrated Jacque for about 35 years, with networking on the whole. Listen as she takes that lament into solution and thus builds her passion around it. From Peace Corps in Africa to mentoring in 10 countries, Jaclyn applies the Excitement of Awareness concept to whomever she meets. That Awareness allows business people to see their value, focus, and alliance possibilities, then through a magnetic LinkedIn profile and a strategy they are able to attract and ENGAGE profitable alliances. That Awareness ignites resources and paths of fulfillment for youth globally. Clarity defines her, in her quest for increasing love, prosperity and peace. She has been an Arizona resident for 8 years, and is happily married for 42 years, with 9 of 11 grandchildren living in Arizona.

Stress Relief Tips From a Pharmacists

Dr. Melissa Balizan When her voice was being silenced, her body started mimicking. For years Dr. Melissa played by the rules, coloring in the lines speaking up from time to time only to be shut down over and over.  She continued to tolerate this as though it was normal, what she didn't realize is that her body was starting to become constricted.   As symptoms appeared, Dr. Melissa, being a healthcare practitioner, followed the steps and proceeded to see multiple physicians only to be told we've never seen this before, we don't know what it is.  She had systems in place to manage her stress and still her symptoms progressed.  Finally after searching for four years she found a physician who diagnosed her and she needed to have surgery to open the stenosis.  Dr. Melissa's life's mission is to save lives by reducing chronic conditions and reducing stress and make others aware that stress can kill.
