It’s not often you meet a 96-year-old who is still working hard to make the world a better place. But for Ben Lesser, a Holocaust survivor who lived through the atrocities of the Krakow ghettos and concentration camps, silence is not an option. As Ben puts it, he has a responsibility to share his story “to keep this world from acquiring amnesia.” In this episode, his daughter Gail joins him, because this conversation is not just about the past—it’s about the future.

Holistic Dentistry: TMJ and Sleep Apnea Connection with Dr. Claire Stagg
I have sleep apnea. I also had major jaw surgery at 15. Are they connected? If I had a Magic 8 Ball, it would likely say, “All signs point to Yes”. And so would one pioneer in holistic dentistry by the name of Dr. Claire Stagg. Through my personal journey of trauma and jaw surgery, we highlight the limitations of conventional solutions like CPAP and oral appliances, underscoring the need for a comprehensive, whole-body approach. Dr. Stagg shares invaluable insights into the interconnectedness of our body's systems, focusing on non-surgical solutions for TMJ, clenching, grinding, sleep apnea, and airway disorders. This is about building your symphony of specialists who focus on the root cause, not just the diagnosis. It's the conversation I wish my parents and I had over 35 years ago when I sat in the dentist's chair. Today, I hope it serves as a guide for anyone struggling to find answers. And for parents, let it offer a new kind of hope for your kids to leave you better informed when it comes to your dental health and overall well-being.

Kick that Inner Bully to the Curb: Transforming Stress and Worries with the Power of Words and Thoughts (Bonus meditation!)
As a March baby myself, there's an extra spring in my step when this month rolls around, not just for the promise of longer days but for celebrating the indomitable spirit of women throughout history. But what about our own stories of triumph and the quiet impact we've made? That's the heart of our latest chat, where we turn the spotlight inward and take a deep dive into the importance of the words we use and choose and the thoughts and worries that determine our day. I got real about the inner battles we all face, like stress, self-doubt, and that nagging inner critic that's all too familiar. I share my journey of overcoming these hurdles with insights into neuroscience, and discuss how changing our mindset can dramatically alter our relationship with stress.

Khara Croswaite Brindle: Ruptured Relationships: How to Heal and Understand Mother-Daughter Estrangement
When the bond between a mother and daughter fractures, the emotional fallout can resonate through every aspect of life. Hilary Russo guides this raw and enlightening conversation with celebrated family therapist Khara Croswaite Brindle, author of "Understanding Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationships,” and peels back the layers of this deeply personal issue. During this intimate conversation, Hilary and Khara unravel the tangled reasons behind daughters distancing themselves from their mothers, from toxic dynamics to ancestral traumas.

Janine Charron: Face-Off: Embracing Mental Fitness, Breast Cancer and Life Beyond Sports
When it comes to navigating some big storms, former professional women’s hockey player Janine Charron says, “Game On!” Janine has always embraced the T.I.G.E.R. within. It’s something she not only learned at an early age when she hit the ice, but the sage advice from her dad and grandfather. And that wisdom and discipline have helped her through some difficult times. From bankruptcy to breast cancer and divorce and deal breakers, Janine has treated it as part of life’s currency: which means continuing to show up and keep going for the goal. But this is more than about the game of hockey. As she says, sports are what you do, they’re not who you are. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Janine shares more about life’s playbook and getting to "know thyself". The mental fitness that’s necessary to understand your values, boundaries, and standards. The tools to help your kids self-lead and be mental and physical athletes. How sitting in the silence was the biggest lesson after her breast cancer diagnosis and the healing hand that was the wake-up call. Plus she not only answers your questions about showing up for your child athlete and yourself to build resiliency.

Vanessa Reiser: Running from the Narcissist
Narcissists spend their life blaming you for the things they did. Let that sink in for a moment. If you've been in a relationship with a narcissist, you get it. It can be personal, professional, family or friend. And it’s not until you’ve cut the cord that you see the manipulative tactics used to keep you small and wondering what’s wrong with you. From gaslighting to love bombing and everything in between, you feel like you are stuck, need to change and when you finally wake up, getting out can seem far out of reach. Licensed therapist Vanessa Reiser has been there. And because of my own story of being in the relationship with a narcissist, I gravitated to her message. Let me tell you, she doesn’t sugar coat when she shares… or runs. Running is Vanessa’s own therapy.

But also, a few important facts that every person should know including: The difference between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder and the red flags to look for. How Vanessa found her way out of the abuse and into the therapy chair supporting others on their journey. And where she learned about narcissism herself. You have to hear it to believe it.

Voices of the Childless and Childfree
When I decided to share my story about not having children on Episode 121, I never imagined the amount of feedback I would receive from listeners wanting to share their voices. It was my hope that being vulnerable and creating a safe space would lead to a few shares. Instead, there were many. And this episode belongs to listeners sharing the “why” of being childless or childfree. From fear to freedom, mental health to miscarriages, infertitlity to indecision, and even grief to gratitude…it’s all here. And no matter what the why of each person may be, the real lesson lies in community, compassion and a true sense of self. Thank you to all who pressed “record”.

Daniel Patterson: Sobriety & Life Beyond Booze
Addiction can take you down one of two roads. For former teacher Daniel Patterson, he was one of the lucky ones to find the road to recovery.

What if this or something better is on the way? Imagine that thought instead of trying to plan everything in your life. In other words, what if you chose to let go? Surrender and release your plans to the care of The Universe? For most, the ego would step in and fight you on that. But for transformational teacher and motivational speaker, Kute Blackson, choosing the Magic of Surrender was a game changer. But it didn’t happen overnight. A son of a minister, Kute’s path was predestined. But it didn’t match what he wanted to his life to be. And after a long personal journey that included growth, pain and even loss, learning to let go was not only a path that aligned with his soul’s purpose, but it was one that went above and beyond his own expectations. Because…he surrendered. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Kute tells his story about the lessons on the mountain. How the best selling books he wrote were not the one’s he wanted to write and what inspired the change. His thoughts on death and the one regret that changed his life for good. Want to take home a copy of Kute’s book for free? Enter the Magic of Surrender Giveaway. One winner will win a signed copy of Kute’s latest book “The Magic of Surrender”.

Katy Tierney: Transgender Awareness
For years I covered stories about the LGBTQIA+ community with a focus on the transgender medicine, the community and their stories. With over 1.4 million Americans identifying as transgender or non-binary, there is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to showing up for others and ourselves. With anti-trans rhetoric and legislation at all-time highs, now more than ever, listening to the experience of the trans community is vital. As an ally and in honor of transgender awareness week, I reconnected with my friend, Katy Tierney. Katy is an endocrinologist and also the medical director of Center for Gender Medicine and Wellness at Middlesex Health in Connecticut. During our conversation we talk everything from pronouns and not putting oneself in a box to the brain/body connection and how the decisions we make and those made by our lawmakers can have a powerful impact on the wellbeing of our trans community. Plus we break down the resources that are available. From hormone therapy and counseling to primary care, healing and learning how to be comfortable and love the body you’re in. To learn more about Katy Tierney and the Middlesex Health Center for Gender Medicine and Wellness, you can connect via their website: https://middlesexhealth.org/center-for-gender-medicine-and-wellness The Human Rights Campaign provides a number of additional resources. https://www.hrc.org/resources As a trauma informed coach, mental health practitioner and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, I serve to provide a safe place and support trans community and their families.

It only takes once decision to change the trajectory of everything in life. On November 9, 2002, I almost made a choice that I would have regretted forever.

Kristina Filler: Hold Your Fire (Fighting Gun Violence Artistically)
There is no way to avoid the pain that comes with the death of a loved one. I was reminded of that recently when my step father passed. He made it almost 93 years. A good life. My dad… too soon. Only 61 from a massive heart attack. It was traumatic, to say the least. But when violence is part of the equation, a lot of unanswered question remain. And in 1998, my dear friend Kristina Filler was confronted with many. Still to this day, in fact. Gun violence. Murder. And in a blink, her father was gone. Why? It’s been over 20 years since Kristina lost her dad to senseless gun violence. And since that time the stages of grief have propelled her into activism. Amplifying the message to “Hold Your Fire”, the t-shirt campaign she created that has raised over $12,000 in just four years for Everytown for Gun Safety. But what’s different about Kristina is that she’s doing her best to make activism “less of a drag” and even fun. Is this possible? I think so. I’ve witnessed it first hand as I also share a loss from gun violence. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Kristina gets real about her approach to fighting for tougher gun laws. As a mom now, it’s the rocket fuel that makes her message even more meaningful with a bit of a punch to get the powerful point across…glitter included. You’ll find out how she’s making activism easy and practical so anyone can make a difference. Including you. Because when it all boils down to it, there's always humor behind the healing…complete with funny shorts. You'll have to listen to hear more about that. Plus how you can "Hold Your Fire" and support keeping our country (and kids) safe and guns off the streets. If you would like to be part of the change, support Everytown for Gun Safety and sport one of Kristina's Hold Your Fire shirts, you can purchase them at bonfire.com/hold-your-fire .

Telly Leung: Lessons from a Broadway Leading Man
There are certain people that are just born to be on stage. Telly Leung is one of them. Hilary met Telly almost two decades ago when they did The King and I with Lou Diamond Phillips as the lead. Since then, "leading man" is something Telly is quite familiar with and it's a perfect fit. From Aladdin on Broadway to other notable roles that include the Broadway revival and national tour of Rent, Godspell, Allegiance and In Transit ...he's done it all. And if you're a fan of the TV show Glee , it's hard to think of The Warblers without Wes. But what Telly has learned during his devotion to the performing arts is that it comes with a responsibility. Especially when you're the star. On this episode and in honor of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, HIListically Speaking , Telly opens up about placing race and diversity center stage. The importance of mental health and sharing your story. And why taking a giant leap into new territory as a director is crucial for conscious conversations to exist; not only for the arts, but for mind, body and spirit as well. Plus, Telly goes public for the first time about about an experiment that nurtured his mental and physical health. Something he's only shared with close family and friends...until now. The curtain is rising and you are front row and center. Enjoy the conversation with the incredibly talented leading man, Telly Leung. To connect and stay up to date on Telly, check out his website tellyleung.com and follow him on social @tellyleung. The book Telly was reading, The Alcohol Experiment by Annie Grace.

Claudia Williams: From Hershey's Kisses to Curious Leadership
“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. While those words are attributed to Teddy Roosevelt, when business coach, consultant and recovering corporate lawyer Claudia Williams shared them during her conversation, you can just felt it from the heart. She’s the kind of person you want in your posse. In fact, when she was part of The Hershey Company’s legal team, she actually had what she called, “The Chocolate Posse”. It was a place where ideas flowed and friendship, mentorship and leadership was always present. Or as she calls it “Friendtorship”: the pillars that make a good leader in the workplace as well as the home. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Claudia shares her story: The lessons she learned as a child in a home. One she says was filled with love, but also domestic violence and divorce. How she vowed to create a positive space personally and professionally. And how her own child’s words lead her to make the biggest decision yet…leaving “The Sweetest Place on Earth” to follow her heart. But not before learning the secret behind the Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Ep80 - How to Find Your Passion and Purpose (From the Radical Audacity podcast with Tiphany Kane)
“Let your passion be your purpose and it will one day be your profession”. It’s not the first time I’ve shared that quote. But, as I begin another trip around the sun, I find myself doing a lot of deep thinking. From “what have I accomplished?” to “what more is there to do?” And of course, “Am I on the right path?” When Tiphany Kane asked me to be a guest on her podcast, Radical Audacity, I was reminded of just how much life is a falling into. She asked me some powerful questions about passion and purpose. So, to celebrate my birthday week, I’m choosing to be the gift giver here. Sharing the journey with you and answering those questions. I guess it’s my own trauma to triumph story. The struggles and shifts that lead to the AHAs; those moments that paved the way and opened new doors. But also, the difficult choices I had to make. From letting go and leaving what I knew as "safe" to allowing new possibilities to take center stage. HIListically Speaking ….if you’re searching for your own purpose and need a reminder that you’re not alone… welcome, I’m glad you’re here. BONUS!

Dr. Nicole Apelian: Living Well in the Wild
If you had to survive in the wild, what would you take? What if the answer was nothing and you had to do it all alone? Do you have what it takes...mind, body and spirit? Dr. Nicole Apelian knows that feeling. So much so, that it's been documented twice during her time on the wilderness survival show, "Alone". But just because this herbalist, biologist and anthropologist has a very special set of survival skills, doesn't mean living life in nature was void of challenges.

John Furniss: Love is Blind
“I lost my sight but I gained a lot of vision.” When John Furniss said those words to me during our conversation, it took my breath away. Imagine, feeling so lost…so down, that you attempt to take your own life. Drugs. A criminal record. No direction. No hope. But then you fail again and survive. What seemed like another fail in life was actually a victory. A second chance. John may have lost his vision that day, but he sees things through different eyes today. John will be the first to tell you, it wasn’t easy. But a desire to change, to live put him on a new path. To love himself, others and his craft. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know The Blind Woodsman, John Furniss. You’re bound to see life through a different set of eyes and see how love truly is blind when it comes from the heart.

Tiphany Kane: Losing My Religion
"This isn't right for me." How many times have you said these words to yourself and stood in the tension of what to do next? Spoiler alert: Your gut is usually right...even if the choice is difficult to make. Even if it means walking away from what feels safe to take a risk at living your best life. Tiphany Kane took a powerful step forward when she left her conservative, patriarchal religion at 19. It was the first time she said "no" to something she didn't resonate with her, in order to say " Heck Yes! " to herself. She lost everything important to her, but found something greater...herself. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Tiphany opens up about walking away from her faith, a toxic relationship and a career that was stealing her shine. And how she used that rocket fuel to empower others to share their voices and stories and say, "Heck Yes!" once and for all.

Dr. Debi Silber: From Betrayal to Breakthrough
You know the expression, “time heals all wounds”? Well, when it comes to betrayal, studies show that time without the right kind of healing just leads to a life of repeated patterns, behaviors and even illness. Because, betrayal is not like other traumas, it’s intentional and different experience in the body. In fact, many symptoms could be due to a lifetime of unhealed trauma from lies, cheat and deceit that have never been resolved. And even when we think we are healed, we often get stuck in the middle of the process, plant our roots and live our life on repeat until somewhere, down the line we’re asking ourselves, ”how does this keep happening” and “why do I still feel this way”? Dr. Debi Silber is a holistic psychologist and founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and has made it her mission to take her clients from betrayal to breakthrough. Her process includes five very important stages. Including getting passed that middle mark that is so common and comforting, that it can easily become our new normal and keeps us from complete transformation. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Dr. Debi will share more about the stages that move us from that place of distrust to a new relationship with ourselves and others, as we find our way from hardened to healed. Plus, she’s offering you the opportunity to take her Post Betrayal Syndrome Quiz to find out where you are on your journey. And an added bonus! Grab a copy of Dr. Debi's "Trust Again" book bonuses .

Gustavo Serafini: Disability Doesn't Mean Inability
“Disability doesn’t mean inability”. I can almost hear my father saying those words to me from the hospital bed. A place he spent a lot of time as a Diabetic and amputee. Years of wear and tear due to poor diet and exercise put this former semi-pro athlete turned attorney in a hospital gown far too often. But, what you may or may not know about my dad is that he was the king of good humor and positive attitude. My father has been gone 19 years this month. So, to continue to conversation about disability and in honor of Diabetes Awareness Month this November, I’m sharing a special episode of HIListically Speaking . Gustavo Serafini invited me on his podcast Enabled Disabled to talk about my journey with a disabled parent. During our time, I shared a lot about how my dad's health impacted me as a child and how I used what I learned from him to embrace the illness and create a greater understanding and compassion for disabilities. Plus, my own battle with chronic pain due to TMJ and surgery. And a powerful teaching moment from a disabled child that created a shift in my life to make better choices for myself and in support others in need. In a month that is filled with gratitude, I'm grateful you're choosing to tune in and take a piece of my story with you on your own journey. Add the Enabled Disabled Podcast to your list.

Kimberly Warner: Finding Balance & Grace through Disability
In life, we are constantly in motion. But what happens when you lack a sense of calm even in stillness? Not because your mind won't settle, but because a neurological disorder is steering the wheel. That's how filmmaker Kimberly Warner lives her life everyday. A vestibular disorder called Mal de Debarquement changed her life in 2015. And now she lives with constant rocking, bobbing and swaying that feels more like life on a boat. With no cure for this chronic illness, all hope seemed lost. Until the lightbulb went off that brought back a sense of balance and grace in Kim's life. Her storytelling took a turn and that's where Unfixed Media was born. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Kim shares her story of what it's like to be Unfixed. And how it's propelled her into motion in a positive way.

So, how does one live healthy in an unhealthy world that is riddled with chronic illness, pharmaceutical drug use and struggling to be physically and emotionally fit and balanced? Pilar Gerasimo may have a solution. She’s spent 20 years as a wellness journalist, is the founding editor of the “Experience Life” magazine and considers herself a healthy deviant. So much so that she wrote the book, "Healthy Deviant".

Expect a lot of laughs, a history lesson filled word play and some empowering educational tools to live well. Plus, a discussion on how journalism has changed from two gals who have been in the trenches for decades. It’s time to get a little deviant and shake things up.

Lis Cashin: Overcoming Childhood Trauma
Let’s face it. Being a teen ager isn’t easy. We’ve all been there. But imagine facing the unthinkable at such an early age. A deadly accident that leaves you blaming yourself and receiving little to no support in order to heal and grow. That was Lis Cashin’s story. An early childhood sporting event turned tragic and left her with feelings that no child should ever face. And the road to recovery was a challenging one, to say the least. But, somehow…resiliency of the human spirit got her through. But it was the determination and a desire to be better that created the space to heal. Today, her work as a speaker, author and mental health consultant is giving others the tools to heal and find their joy because as she puts it, “happiness is a choice”. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Lis not only shares her inspiring story of trauma to triumph, but leaves listeners with essential emotional health hacks that everyone should have in their mental health tool box to live a happy and healthy life.

Christa Bevan: Nurturing the Radical Mother
Break the cycle. We hear that term a lot lately when it comes to generational trauma. The thought of raising a child can be overwhelming enough. But when trauma exists in our family history, parenting fears can creep in like wild fire. Am I doing this right? How do I avoid creating the toxic environment that existed before me? Can I even break this pattern or is it just genetics? What if I just can’t handle it? Where can I get relief? Who’s taking care of me? When Christa Bevan created the Radical Mother Village , many of those questions came to mind. The group is for all mothers devoted to being disruptors of their past. Breaking those cycles. Living better. Planting stronger roots for a thriving family tree to grow. As an “expert companion”, Christa focuses on sharing ways to nurture the inner child.

Vince Warnock: Get Curious About Bad Behavior (Lessons from Your Inner & Outer Bully)
"Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about". There are so many variations of this quote. Dating back a hundreds of years. It seems as though bullying has become both an inside and outside job. So much so, that we've gotten into the habit of perfecting it. All of us. This is not exactly a skill set you add proudly to the resume. But whatever version you resonate with, the overall message is this: We all have stuff. So, get curious, courageous and vulnerable. Ask for help. And most importantly, be kind…to yourself and others. And...listen up! During this episode of HIListically Speaking , Marketing & Business Strategist and Coach Vince Warnock shares his own personal experience about how bullying in the school yard was just as present in the board room. Even with his fellow C-Suite rockstars had taken the fall time and time again. Sound familiar? Now, Vince helps entrepreneurs find their voice and face their fears in the most authentic way... personally and professionally. And, we’d be doing Vince a disservice if it wasn't mentioned that Star Wars and Stan Lee may have had something to do with his own success from corporate CEO and broadcaster to entrepreneurial super hero. We’re "Chasing the Insights" on this episode of HIListically Speaking. And if you're serious about making an impact as CEO in your own life and those you serve, claim an amazing offer and book a f ree strategy call with Vince after you listen to the conversation.

Scarlett Lewis: Choosing LOVE After Loss (A Message from Sandy Hook)
Nurturing. Healing. Love. Those three words were written on the kitchen chalkboard by 6 year old Jesse Lewis before he left for school in December of 2012. Those three words were also his last. Jesse was one of the 20 first graders and 6 educators killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. For Scarlett Lewis, the only single mother that lost her child that day, the pain and grief may never fade, but neither will her son’s message. Jesse’s words have sparked a movement led by his mom. A movement inspired by Jesse's final acts of love, and his mother's path of forgiveness. A movement that is giving children powerful tools that teach them how to manage their emotions, feel connected, and have healthy relationships.And the formula is simple: courage + love + forgiveness + compassion-in-action = Choosing Love.

Rob Herring: The Need to GROW - Saving Our Soil and Ourselves
Sixty years sounds like a long time. Well, unless you are Mother Earth. Because sixty is how many years of farmable soil we have left on this planet. That dirt you’re standing on has purpose.

But if you're stepping all over it rather than just standing on it... no bueno. Rob Herring is on a mission to help as many people as possible understand that. And with simple solutions we can all have a positive impact and begin to see a change for good.

One year of trauma to triumph stories that continue to touch, move and inspire the podcasting world. One year of thoughtful souls sharing health, healing and humor. What a ride it’s been so far. My neurons are just getting warmed up. Dad would be proud. I imagine he's listening from somewhere.

From the words of wisdom to the laughter in the lessons…it’s all here as a "thank you" for listening and sticking around.

Dawn Ennis: Being Transgender: The Transition to Living My Truth
What does pride mean to you? For Dawn Ennis , it means finally being herself. She’ll be the first to tell you that her transgender journey hasn’t been easy. Let alone private. Dawn was the first transgender journalist to come out in network TV news. And that was one top story that brought mixed emotions and reception. Add both personal and professional loss to the national media attention and suddenly Dawn was questioning her choices and her life. One of those choices almost left her children without a mother…and a father. Fortunately, Dawn “sucks at suicide”, as she put it. Her devotion to family and faith is stronger than ever. And the stories she now tells as an LGBTQ+ advocate and journalist have more purpose and power. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , a conversation about living your truth.

David Alto: Imposter Syndrome
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius said that. Of course, Confucius never dealt with writing a resume, scouring the internet for jobs, or wondering how many of the 750 million other people on LinkedIn applied. Add social media to that equation (just to kill your ego a little bit more) and you’ve got a nice little recipe for “I’m not good enough”. Well, hello, imposter syndrome. Thanks for showing up. As a professional resume writer and LinkedIn rock star, you would think David Alto had it all worked out. But even the guy that helps get you past the resume bots was struggling with his own self-worth. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast , David shares his story of how he turned that struggle into his superpower. But also, he shares some valuable tips and tricks to get your resume in the right hands, get over yourself and get the job.

Michelle Mills-Porter: Recalibrating Communication, Connection and Core Values
How well are you communicating with others? For Michelle Mills-Porter, she was already an expert in communication, specializing in non-visual and non-verbal communication. But when she found herself in the middle of one of the biggest natural disasters in history, the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004, with little time to think, it opened her eyes to discover the magnificence in humanity. She witnessed the power of true motivation and the limitless possibility of collaboration. In a digital age, we are overwhelmed with so many ways to connect. But with all these options, are we really doing it in a way that unleashes our true potential to connect with others? And do we have to wait until we face adversity to make a change? Through Michelle's own recovery, she worked to capture what she learned, eventually creating a suite of analysis tools that unleashes people power to help you to uncover your magnificence. Join the conversation when this speaker, trainer, author and a leading light in the neuroscience of human behavior shares her story and infinite possibilities with host Hilary Russo.

He had a pretty cool gig and even wrote a best selling book, “Art of War on Dating”. Say what?!

Dominique Claire: Head Strong: Alopecia is My Super Power
Imagine being told “you’ve lost your crown and glory” because you’re losing your hair. Ouch! Talk about insensitive! Well, those were the words Dominique Claire heard from a hairdresser when she was just 16 years old. Dominique has alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that impacts the hair follicles. But, hair loss can happen to anyone at any time, for many reasons…sometimes as early as our teens. Roughly 95% of hair loss in men is caused by androgenic alopecia or male-patterned baldness. And close to 50% of all women start losing their hair by the time they are 50. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and shame or even a heightened level of anxiety and depression. Dominique was only five when she went bald. Sure, she has had years to embrace it, but that doesn’t mean she hasn't faced pain and loss…on many levels. On this episode of HIListically Speaking with Hilary Russo , find out how Dominique found her truth through feminine embodiment and turned alopecia into her super power.

Brian Kelsey: Rebuilding Your Life After Divorce
News flash: Divorce sucks. And it’s not uncommon for men and women to experience this life changing event differently. But one thing is the same, divorce can be exhausting on many levels. Emotionally, physically and of course, financially. For Brian Kelsey, a dad of two boys, his biggest fear was being that divorced guy renting a one bedroom apartment over some bar in his hometown. So, finding a new foundation for himself and his kids was priority number one. And that’s where he got creative in his approach. Like REALLY creative. When you’re a guy who spends a lot of time on-camera sharing your master carpentry skills and quick witted humor, you can only imagine what was stirring in his mind. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, a man’s perspective on divorce and how a little creativity and a lot of determination can help you rebuild your life.

Vincent Genna: Unlocking Your Passion and Your Purpose
Do you remember what happened the last time you went against a gut feeling? I imagine you were not too happy with the outcome. Our intuition isn’t messing around when it comes to the messages we receive. It just knows. And yet, all too often we love to put up a good fight thinking we know better. Vincent Genna fought it for years. Thinking he had all the answers about what his life was meant to be. A famous acting career was in the cards. But message after message kept telling him a different story. Now, that doesn’t mean Vinny didn’t have some success on the stage and screen. He did. But, his gift had nothing to do with accepting a Tony or an Oscar. It had everything to do with receiving something even more powerful…the messages he was being sent day after day until he finally stopped ignoring the signs. Those signs unveiled his true mission as a psychic medium and spiritual teacher. And this was not a part he played on TV. On this episode of "HIListically Speaking", Vincent shares more about his journey from trauma to triumph. He also reveals how doors began to open once he realized he already had the key to his deepest passion and purpose…just like you. You can learn more about Vincent by visiting his website: https://vincentgenna.com/. What’s Your Story?

Ashwini Prasad: Inclusive Storytelling
When you think of the word “inclusivity”, what comes to mind? More importantly, how do you incorporate it into your own life? Do you know your own blind spots and are you asking questions that spark deeper conversations? Let’s be honest…inclusivity is more than an office buzzword. It’s about making everyone feel valued, changing unfair practices and providing the same opportunity to everyone to make a positive impact. One way we are seeing this more and more is through art and expression. Anti-racist educator and screenwriter, Ashwini Prasad is doing her part from the office to the theatre. Her screenplays focus on bringing people who are erased and marginalized onto the screen. And when you add her recent book, “How To Write Inclusively: An Analysis & How To Guide,” and new podcast, “The Inclusive Storyteller” to the mix, you know she’s on a mission. This powerful episode creates the space for Ashwini to share her own battle with racism, oppression and social injustice. But also, how she’s turning things around for the silent voices to be heard. You can learn more about Ashwini by visiting her website: theinclusivescreenwriter.com What’s Your Story?

Michael Roderick: The Connected Entrepreneur
“You can do hard things”. Whenever Michael Roderick questions a difficult task, he’s reminded of these words often shared with his daughter, Juniper. Life is full of trials and tribulations. Ups and downs. Successes and failures. And for Michael…who is in the business of “turning thoughtful givers into thoughtful leaders”, connection is everything. And making sure people know what you need (what Michael calls “The Givers Fix”), could be the turning point in your life as an entrepreneur. I often call Michael “The Connector of Connectors” because as the CEO of Small Pond Enterprises, this guy knows how to make messages memorable and unforgettable. He is also the host of the podcast “Access to Anyone”, which shows how you can get to know anyone you want in business and in life using time-tested relationship-building principles. Michael's unique methodology comes from his own experience of going from being a High School English teacher to a Broadway Producer in under two years. If you're ready to get the scoop on what it takes to be a connected entrepreneur, join the conversation.

Katherine Woodward Thomas: From Calling in “The One” to Conscious Uncoupling
Recently I asked listeners this question. “When it comes to a healthy relationship, what is most important for it to thrive?” These are the answers I received. Communication. Respect. Trust. Honesty. Unconditional love. Listening. Validation. Just to name a few. The truth is, whether you’re getting into one, getting out of one or still on the lookout…love can be messy. And if we don’t do the inner work first, and give ourselves that “in between time”, we’re setting ourselves up for a rinse and repeat relationship cycle that knows no end. Talk about dirty laundry. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, New York Times best selling author and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Katherine Woodward Thomas shares her own journey on Calling in “The One” and also, how to face a Conscious Uncoupling when things don’t work out; a term that put her on the map after Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s divorce. If you’re ready to have a greater understanding about your trauma self versus your true self and be committed to a future that is not fixed on your past, this conversation is a must. You can learn more about Katherine Woodward Thomas, her national best seller, Calling in “The One:” 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life; and her New York Times best seller, Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After or any of her workshops, by visit her website https://katherinewoodwardthomas.com/ .

Dana K. White: Clear the Space. Clear the Mind
What’s your clutter threshold? That’s the question Decluttering Expert, author and blogger Dana K. White always asks when it comes to getting organized. Whether it’s your home, a room, or just your desk. Clearing up the clutter not only helps your physical space, but your head space too. But keeping things organized isn’t always easy.

Christopher Krietchman: Body Building, Battling COVID-19 and Serving Others
If you think body dysmorphia is gender specific, think again. Christopher Krietchman battled it for years. As a professional bodybuilder, numbers mattered. Add a learning disability on top of that fit fix and you have a potential formula for disaster. It took years for Chris to turn his life around. But when he did, the shift created a wonderful opportunity to serve others in healthy living…and Wellvyl was born. Then COVID hit and his results came back positive. Ten months have taught Chris a lot. To the point where his own health and wellness journey has him running for office with hopes of serving his community in a whole new way. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know how this strong man is lifting much more than weights to make the world a better and healthier place.

Joanna Lovering: Fat, Fabulous and Fierce
What do you think of when you see or hear the word FAT? For far too long, the word has been seen as negative, insulting and even embarrassing. But, as Executive Presence Coach Joanna Lovering of Copper + Rise shared, “it’s just a descriptor”. Fat is merely a word that should be seen the same way as you describe the color of your eyes. Joanna spent years battling the ups and downs of her weight. And with it came emotions to match. That is, until she turned a new page and saw the power of being present. The confidence, character and style that blooms when you decide to own it. Just like we are all more than our numbers, we are also more than those every day descriptors too. Get ready to be empowered as we…chew the fat, on this episode of HIListically Speaking.

Justin Roethlingshoefer: Owning Your Inner Athlete
How well are you sleeping, eating, performing and well…living? If you struggle with any area of your health, it may come down to missing some important information that could change your life. Justin Roethlingshoefer gets it. Because he’s been there. He lived and breathed hockey for years. It kind of comes with the territory when you’re from Canada. He’s worked as a performance director in the NCAA, NHL, and even runs a private camp for pro hockey players. But loving hockey didn’t mean living well. Injury, addiction, depression and anxiety were getting in the way of life outside the arena. That is, until he had a wake up call about the one machine he needed to manage better…himself. Today, his knowledge of performance, health, recovery and sleep space has made him a leader in using data to drive decision making. Not just on the ice but in the corporate world as well. Because, any one has the ability to own their inner athlete. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Justin shares more about scoring those goals.

Jessica Cordova Kramer: Turning Lemons into Lemonade
It’s not uncommon for tragedy to bring people together. There’s a feeling of “I’m not alone” that can be both healing and empowering. And can even spark the most miraculous shifts in life. Jessica Cordova Kramer can attest to that. She’s a former Wall Street lawyer and podcast producer who lost her brother after a long battle with addiction. And when she heard fellow podcaster Stephanie Whittels Wachs share her own story of loss, after her brother died from an overdose, a bond was created…and then some. Together these women have gone on to create Lemonada Media, a podcast network that Jessica says, is on a mission “to make shows that help people get out of bed in the morning, that help people deal with the hardest sh*t in their real lives.” On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Jessica shares more about the humor behind the healing and the journey from lemons to lemonade.

Michelle Hobgood: Unconscious Biases, Autism and My Authentic Self
You can learn a lot about a person if you just take time to listen to their story. Michelle Hobgood came into my life as my health coach. With over 15 years in the fitness industry, keeping me accountable on my wellness journey was second nature to her. And frankly, she continues to inspire me, which you'll soon find out. But, what I didn’t know about Michelle at the time was that she was fighting her own health and wellness battles…and then some. Michelle is fit, feisty and has an infectious laugh that you just can’t help but love. At first meeting, you’d never know she is the mom of an adult son with Autism. You also would miss that she is in a multicultural marriage. And likely, it wouldn’t dawn on you that she faces unconscious biases every day; professionally and personally. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Michelle shares more about her own journey on why being considered a “strong, black woman” can sometimes set the stage for biases we don’t even realize we are creating. But also, this intimate conversation opened some doors where there were once walls. Doors to a better understanding that if we spend more time listening to one another, we can learn to turn awareness into action in a positive and productive way...for all. You can find more of Michelle’s transparent musings and how she juggles it all with a smile (most of the time) on her Instagram and website .

Jeffrey Small: From Anchor Desk to Addiction
Jeffrey Small had everything going for him. Friends, family and a great job back in his hometown. When you’re a news anchor, you’re in many ways a celebrity in your local community. I know this because Jeffrey and I were co-anchors in Louisiana during our early days in TV News. But a move to St. Louis brought a different kind of fame. Something that changed his entire world when cocaine and meth came into play. Suddenly, the respected guy on TV who loved to party, was now on the front page of the newspapers for all the wrong reasons. Addiction took it all away from Jeff and somehow he lived to tell about it. After hitting rock bottom, this two time Emmy Winning Journalist had no choice but to look at life differently. Small is now an outspoken voice for others in need of hope and healing and shares his story on this episode of HIListically Speaking.

David Gandelman: The Business of Being Zen
The healing arts is big business. And for anyone who works in health or healing, there’s a responsibility that comes with showing up for yourself and others. If you’re one who is seeking guidance rather than providing it, that overwhelming feeling that has you asking, “who is right for me” can be just as challenging. It can also leave you with a lot of questions unanswered. David Gandelman knows this all too well. His journey took him from playing hockey in New Jersey to working mindfully in Hawaii. From ashrams to improv and Cornell to Colorado, the creator of Meditation School shares some valuable lessons about what it takes to honor yourself and the business of being zen. And he's bound to make you laugh along the way. David connects energetic experience, ancient wisdom traditions, and humor, to create a safe atmosphere for people interested in learning to meditate, and develop their natural spiritual abilities. He is also the host of both the Energy Matters Podcast and Grounded Sleep Podcast. Get ready to put the “yay” in namaste with some powerful lessons and little laughter on what it takes to live your best life.

Leon Logothetis: The Journey to Kindness and Connection
If there is one show that has brought me to happy tears each time I watch, it is definitely The Kindness Diaries on Netflix. Every episode, Leon Logothetis takes us on an epic journey across the globe relying completely on the kindness of strangers. Many have little room to spare or food to give. Or do they? There in lies the lesson. So, why is a former stockbroker from London choosing to travel this way and ask for a helping hand? Well, having it all doesn’t necessarily mean feeling complete; as you’ll soon find out during our conversation. The real riches come from each person he meets during his travels. It’s more than room and board. Time, kindness and connection pave the way for so something so much greater…for the giver and the taker. Get to know The Kindness Guy, and more about Leon’s quest to inspire the world to be a little bit kinder with whole lot of “Winnie Love” on this episode of “HIListically Speaking”.

Sarah Peyton: Words to Love By
My grandmother used to say, “be sure to taste your words before you spit them out”. The problem is, we aren’t considering the impact those words or that inner dialogue has on ourselves before it leaves our lips. Imagine if coming from a place of love and kindness started with embracing the source. When I first read Sarah Peyton’s book Your Resonant Self, I was shocked at some of the sabotaging self-talk I was using. Bullying myself came with ease due to my own traumas and upsets. To be honest, we’re all guilty of it…being hard on ourselves is nothing new. But, self-love isn’t just a trend or a hashtag, it’s a way of being… IF we have the right tools. And for Sarah, her work as a Certified Trainer of Non-Violent Communication and neuroscience educator, provides us with those tools that can help us better understand the unconscious contracts we make with ourselves. When we do this, we are free to heal and grow. On this week’s HIListically Speaking Podcast, get to know your resonant self and what it takes to be kind to your mind. You can learn more about Sarah Peyton, her book Your Resonant Self, and her beautiful work by visiting her website empathybrain.com If you're interested in learning more about how Havening Techniques can help you put the power of emotional well-being in your own hands and be kind to your mind, just visit my website at hilaryrusso.com/havening .

Barry Price: Lean In To Love
We tell ourselves a lot of stories about why the right kind of love hasn’t entered our lives. To the career driven woman out there, we’ve whined and wined over a number of them, haven’t we? Here are a few of my favs. My success is intimidating to men. There’s no good ones left after divorce. I’m “too busy” to date because I’m so career focused. They want the young ones anyway. And the ever so popular…I’m too old for this crap. OK, now that we go that out of our system, let’s try something different. Ladies, I get it. But, now, it’s time to own it. And do I have the perfect guy for you! Barry Price has been a relationship and dating coach for powerful women since he was 8 years old. You learn a lot when you’re sitting at the kitchen table with your single mom, breaking down her dates. Since then, he has been trained as an ICF Coach and by renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel. He has coached thousands of successful women to transform their relationship with themselves in order to create healthy, lasting relationships with the right man. Barry offers a level of male insight coupled with genuine empathy that no other coach offers on your dating & relationship journey. And fellas…he’s the bro you wanna know. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know Barry, his mission and what it takes to Lean In To Love. Which coincidentally, is the FREE summit he asked me to be a part of along with 20 other expert speakers. Get ready to Lean in to Love! FREE virtual “Lean In To Love Summit” (Oct 27-29, 2020).

Sara Green & Jason West: The Awakened Empath
What does it mean to be an empath? If this question sparks curiosity, it’s likely you are one. But, let’s dig deeper, shall we? Do you tend to take on the emotions of others as your own? Are you someone people (even strangers) often come to for help and/or advice? Perhaps you have found yourself in narcissistic relationships time and time again. Maybe large crowds feel overwhelming. Does the energy or vibe of the room affect you? You may value alone time as a chance to connect with something higher. Or, like many empaths...you just feel misunderstood. Any and/or all of these are just a few examples of what it could mean to be an empath. If you’re still reading, this likely resonates with you. The good thing is, you’re not alone. As Super Sensitive Empaths, Sara Green and Jason West can certainly relate. They are co-founders of MetaPhysical Lighthouse. A love-based, non-profit organization founded by psychics and scientists working together to create social change through empathy. Their backgrounds are so different, yet so aligned. This creates the perfect balance for what it means to build bridges instead of walls. Get to know their energy, their karma and their light during our conversation. If you questioned your empath journey or were looking for a greater connection, you may have finally found your way home on this episode of HIListically Speaking. To learn more about Sara, Jason and the Metaphysical Lighthouse, visit their website at metalighthouse.org And if you would like a chance to win a copy of Sara and Jason’s book, “MPath: 8 Steps to Illumination”, signed by the both of them, visit my Instagram post for this episode for details on entering.

Chris Palmore: Finding Gratitude After Loss
If moments of gratitude make up a symphony, then Chris Palmore is the conductor. But finding the light can be difficult after loss. And it certainly didn’t happen overnight. In 2015, Chris’ mom Laura lost her battle with breast cancer. A few months prior, he was writing her a letter of gratitude. That love note and tremendous loss paved the way for a new way of being. Soon after, this coach and creator of GratitudeSpace not only opened a new door, but his heart; creating a revolutionary movement to change our world and encourage radical acts of gratitude. His first book, “Dear Gratitude: An Anthology,” releases Thanksgiving. And most recently, he launched a non-profit that supports Gratitude PopUps booths with a goal of collecting 10,000 gratitude moments. Talk about bumping your party experience up a notch! His podcast GratitudeSpace Radio is a weekly dose of inspiration and I’m grateful to be part of his lineup. In fact, if you click below and listen to that conversation, I have a special gift of gratitude for those who tune in. To learn more about Chris and GratitudeSpace, visit gratitudespace.com or email him at hello@gratitudespace.com.

Bethany Webb: My Guru Cancer
“You have cancer.” These are three words an organic-eating wellness-teaching yoga-loving gal like Bethany Webb never thought she would hear. But her boobs were telling her a different story. And after going through every emotion possible, this Yoga Therapist/Mindset Coach went from cancer survivor to cancer thriver. But it wasn’t easy. That BS (belief system) can get in the way. You need to check yourself, before you wreck yourself. And Bethany did. Anger, fear and shame turned into excitement, engagement and empowerment. Her book My Guru Cancer is the one she wishes someone had written when she was going through it all. Now, Bethany is living life to the fullest in the mountains of Colorado. And when she’s not writing and teaching, you can find her hiking, adventuring, cooking, and thriving! On this week’s episode of HIListically Speaking, get to know Bethany, her story and what it means to kick cancer’s ass - mind, body and spirit. I guess you can say her story is now a survival guide for others. If you want a chance to win a copy of Bethany’s book, My Guru Cancer, just leave a rating and review on Apple podcast.

Kimmay Caldwell: More than My Numbers
What is one number you would like to change in your life? I’ve been asking people that very question all week leading up to this episode. The answers varied. From making more money to losing weight. Wishing you were younger or hoping a loved one lived longer. Some of you even shared numbers that you believe will make a difference in the world. Like increased voter turnout and a decline in COVID cases. You wanted to see less competition and more love. Plant more trees and see less suffering. I also took a moment to think about the question. How can I serve more people as a health coach and holistic practitioner of emotional health and make a bigger impact? Every answer creates the same uneasy feeling. You’re either striving for more or hoping for less. And even when you meet a goal, there’s always another number right ahead of you. Good lord, why do we do this to ourselves? Cue the personal demons that love to show up and tell us “you are not enough”. It’s such B.S.! Kimmay Caldwell has been playing the numbers game for years. As a bra fitting expert, hearing the stories women tell themselves in the dressing room gave her an idea. She created "More Than My Numbers" to help women of all ages, shapes and sizes embrace the beauty inside, outside and underneath. But Kimmay has been on her own healing journey. And time is another number that has paved the way for this self-love coach to say “Hurray” in a whole new way. On this week’s HIListically Speaking Podcast, celebrate priority number one (hint: that’s you) and discover how you can uncover your confidence, stand in your power, and learn to love yourself.

Susan Greif: Ancestral Trauma
When is the last time you really sat down and spoke to the older generation in your family? Whether it’s a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, we can learn a lot about our lineage if we take time to listen. The trouble is, many families (if not all) face some type of ancestral trauma. And talking about history can stir up major upsets. Sometimes it can even leave family members feeling disconnected and damaged. Susan Greif will be the first one to tell you, intergenerational trauma is real. As the daughter of holocaust survivors, she had her own family relationships that needed mending. And through art, Susan found a way to help others on their healing journeys; not only to get clear, but get to the heart of what could be rotting the very soil of the family tree. As a Creative Transformational Expert specializing in trauma and relationships, Susan’s Art Mends Hearts approach uses drawings to help people get to the root of their subconscious minds and notice where they hold their upsets about themselves and family. On this week’s HIListically Speaking podcast, she shares her own story of healing and growth and how she’s using it to help others bloom where they're planted.

Michael C. Bryan: Embracing Your Beautiful Scars
Let’s have a nervous breakdown! No, really. Michael C. Bryan said it’s OK. In fact, as someone who has faced the demons of childhood abuse and trauma himself, he encourages you to go dark. After all, once we break, what to do you think shines through the darkness? You guess it. How else do you think he became a “ray of freakin’ sunshine”? But behind the humor, the glitter and the “tell it like it is” tone, Michael is so much more. The man behind MCBHappier, Inc didn’t get there overnight. With over 25 years working as a Special Consultant to the heads of Time Warner, NBCUniversal, Food Network, HBO, CNN and Warner Brothers (just to name a few), this writer, actor and life coach has lived in the shadows. Like, big time. He specializes in high-level achieving individuals and companies who are seeking balance and equilibrium in their lives as they continue to create and expand their already existing accelerating careers. From writing his own award-winning memoir “Creepy Kid”, Michael helps his clients embrace their own life story, face the darkness and find the beacon that awaits when you just do the work. If you think this episode is full of rainbows and unicorns, think again. We’re getting real and cracking some sh*t open with a side of laughter, love and light. To learn more about Michael C.

Brian Michael Smith: Trailblazer, Transgender & Talented
When Brian Michael Smith considers a role, he thinks about the impact it will have on audiences. And being the first out black trans man cast as a series regular on broadcast TV, he knows his art is his advocacy. It was his role as “Toine Wilkins”, a transgender police officer on Ava DuVernay’s critically acclaimed hit series Queen Sugar that opened doors. It was also a chance for him to come out publicly in the most authentic way possible - through his craft as an actor. He knew his work came with a bigger responsibility and Hollywood noticed. Soon after, came “Pierce Williams” on The L Word: Generation Q and most recently as “Paul Stickland, a transgender male firefighter on 9-1-1 Lonestar . But behind each character is a husband, a son, an advocate and a friend. I met Brian on the set of Daily Burn 365 , the live-streaming fitness show that we were cast on in 2015. It wasn’t long before you could tell his energy, empathy and engaging personality won hearts - not only with the cast and crew, but the community, as well. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Brian shares more about life on camera and what it means to stay mindful, be grateful and to “know thyself”.

Alan Seales: Finding Balance, Loving Broadway and Being Yourself
He considers himself a podcast junkie. Fortunately, his obsession is working out pretty well for him. But, for Alan Seales, “tuning IN" to his own frequency was a must if he wanted to tune OUT the demons of life’s demands. Alan is not only the co-founder and CTO of the Broadway Podcast Network and executive producer/host of The Theatre Podcast , he’s also the man behind Talks at Google , a family guy and oh yeah… the producer of HIListically Speaking. There’s a lot of juggling happening here. And even for the guy BPN calls, “The Podcast Dad”, it isn’t always easy. When it comes to one’s emotional well-being, finding balance in a fast paced world requires practice and a lot of patience. Mental health is definitely a topic that needs more discussion. It’s why both Alan and I created the space for those conversations to happen. It’s why, after almost two decades of friendship that began on stage, we found a new platform that pairs our passion with our purpose. It’s why we’re both here. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Alan shares more about his own mental health battles, how his podcast came to life and what he’s hoping to achieve as the theatre turn tech guy who found a new spotlight for stories to be told when the curtain falls.

Meaghan B. Murphy: Finding Your YAY
Imagine putting the YAY in every day of your life. Our thoughts do have power. But, let’s get real, waking up with butterflies and unicorns dancing around our head isn’t always the case. It takes work to change those ol’ Negative Nelly habits. My guest on this week's episode of HIListically Speaking can write a book about that. Actually…she did!

Ronia Fraser: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
They can come across beguiling and charismatic. But that likable facade soon fades. If you know this type of person, you may be in the presence of a narcissist. And if you’re involved with one…hold on to your friggin’ hats. Because a narcissist’s criticism, demands, and emotional unavailability thrive on lack of confidence and low self-esteem. Their fuel is your fall. They shine by making you small. It may sound like the lyrics to a country song, but, it's just how they roll. Yes. I've been there and I won’t make that mistake twice. But, so has my guest, Ronia Fraser. Ronia is not only a fellow Havening Techniques™ practitioner, she is an internationally certified and award-winning Trauma Recovery Coach, author and speaker and one of the leading experts in the field of Narcissistic Abuse Recovery. In fact, Her Road To Recover Me™ - Kickstart Program has made a significant positive impact on the mental health of abuse survivors. To be honest, she's a bloody rock star.
