The Gaining Control Podcast Introduction
Welcome to the Gaining Control Podcast. At the young age of 5, I found myself in the front row of an old country church watching the funeral service of my grandfather. All I can recall from that day was my mothers loud cry, my grandfathers still body in the casket and the groundskeepers lowering my grandfathers body one crank after another. I was left in total confusion as to why this day has become the event I remember the most of my grandfather.
As years passed, I finally understood that my grandfather’s death inspired me to encourage others. I started to see death in a whole new way. I began to see the people right in front of me that was living but actually dying. I saw people dying to their decisions, problems, pain, poor habits and much more.
I asked myself, How can I help? What do others need? What’s the best way to connect with others and learn their story? How can I share impactful tips and information to transform other lives?
The Gaining Control podcast was created because I truly believe that you can gain control of your life and live your best life. I’m looking forward to the journey we’re about to embark on. I believe this is the time for you… to start… Gaining Control…..
