Inspiration from the True Airhead!

In the words of Tammy, “if I can do it with part of my brain missing, you can do it with a full brain.” In this episode of the You Soulful Genius Podcast, my guest, Tammy Revard, talks about how impossibility is only an illusion and not a reality except you make it so.

Tammy describes herself as probably the only true airhead you will ever meet! This is because she had brain damage caused by lack of oxygen from a severe asthma attack due to an allergic reaction to mould.

After surviving this ordeal, Tammy chose to use that opportunity to empower herself as well as other people who may benefit from her knowledge, story and insights.

Tammy started speaking about the effect of mould on people who has Asthma and how they can protect themselves and their health.

Tammy who has worked on over 150 award shows including the Academy Awards, Grammys, & Emmys, knew she had to find work when covid hit and the audience was no longer there, due to Covid restrictions.

On her journey, Tammy found an entrepreneurial community that helped her breakthrough and showed her how to leverage the power of the laptop and internet connectivity.

Wouldn’t you agree with me that this is sheer RESILIENCE, DETERMINATION AND FOCUS?

Tammy didn’t stop there. She went further and completed the writing of her book, “ The True Airhead”, which now sells hot on Amazon and other major book stores online and offline.

The main highlights of this conversation are:

You can achieve greatness if you are determined and ready to do the work

Surround yourself with people who are willing to lift you up and support you

You can make a change to someone else’s life and the world if you charge up your ‘caring muscle’

If I asked you who you are, what would you tell me? Many times, in life, the difference between being able to tap into the power of your instinct and draw out the genius within you and your inability to unearth the magnificence contained within you, lies in the fact that you do not know who you are. Today, my guest on the show, Kathrin Fox, will uncover how you can identify your magnificence, just by knowing who you are.

Kathrin said women draw from their inner masculinity, in order to be firm and assertive. Kathrin talked about the beingness of a women as being perceived weak, and said, rather than focus on the conditionality of the feminine gender, by the society, women leaders should live their lives by connecting to their centre, where the source of their energy, strength and power resides. She said women can only build a life and business that is true to them, when they know who they are by digging deep into their core.

Which part of you are you not tapping into, in order to fit into the society’s expectation of who you should be? What could you do today to reconnect with who you are and rise again as a woman of power?

The main takeaways of this discussion are:

Make every effort to be true to yourself, even if you have to disappoint some people

Choose your interpretation of life events wisely and challenge the meaning you give to things happening to you

In this episode of the You Soulful Genius Podcast, Jill Levine,

talked about how to cultivate a mindset that will serve you for as long as you

want it to. She talked about how you can make a habit of the practises that

will help you keep being positive and understand how to make the best of

negative situations, and ultimately how to take control of your life. As much

as it is inevitable for us to experience negative things because that is part

of life, it is possible to turn these negative and challenging times to the

best times in our lives because, if we tune and learn from the things that

negative situations bring, we will understand that they come with a lot of growth,

and they help to unleash the inner power within us. Jill talked about how you

can use your mindset in ways that will help you become productive most of the

time and turn your challenges into chances and opportunities of growth and advancement

and self-discovery. Jill, who is a Professional Motivation and mindset coach, teaches resilience and mindset transformation through customized step by step techniques and has also been a

career coach for the past 17 years. She spoke about how people hinder themselves

and stay in their way of making good progress in life by not focusing on the

power of their mind. She emphasised that there is so much we can do to take

control of our lives, only if we tune into the power that our minds bear. Jill said

many people stay stuck because they lack the support they need, which is

holding them back. According to Jill, people who seek help from coaches turn

their lives around in as little time as possible but those who do not seek help

either from friends that can keep them accountable or from professionals stay

stuck for many years.

The main takeaways of this episode are:

Unleash the power of your mind by cultivating a productive

mindset and habits

Learn to seek for help in order to achieve your dreams

Stop self-sabotaging because it only keeps you stuck for too

long.

Roz Thornton, founder of the Amazing Women Global,  shared some light on how women empowerment and

development is the hallmark of any progressive society. Roz, a Leadership and

Confidence Coach, shared why she stared her business, saying it was because she

wanted to be with her Children more, and when they were at school she wanted to

have more flexible time with them and wanted to take the summers off and wanted

to take the school holidays off with them and she knew that wasn't possible due

to her work, but as things would happen Roz was made redundant and her dreams

magically came true. She said to start a business, or thinking of changing your

career, think about the career that you are in now and think about all the

elements that were really, really good that you always enjoyed and find

something similar that would fit into your personality and passion.

Roz decided to work with women to empower them and to

encourage them to do the job that they wanted to do and maybe even go for

higher jobs because she believed that women could achieve great things, all

that is need is the confidence to pursue their dreams.  She remarked that a lot of women do not go

for high paying jobs because they think they are not good enough or they are

not capable of doing some jobs. Emphatically, in Roz’s words, “ I'm here to

tell you today you are good enough and you can get that job because I have

helped hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of women who have never worked, I've

helped women who've had one year’s work experience and they're in their

forties, you know, I've helped women who you know that English is their second

language and they really struggle with English, they've got a very good job’.

According to Roz, the place of women in nation building

should never be overlooked because if you empower a woman, you empower the

community.

The key takeaways of Roz’s message in this podcast are:

You are enough

Confidence is key, don’t let anyone take it away from you

Take your time to build a business that you love, but be sure to do your due diligence before leaving your job.

Engineer Yemi Ogundele, a production Engineer at the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency is our guest on the podcast today and he talked about the one secret surprise that can lead to successful breakthrough. He also mentioned that the community spirit that led people to help one another being together and caring for one another has since disappeared and talked us through how we can repair our communities and continue to be our brother’s keeper.

Engr Oluyemi, who served in different leadership capacities said the best gift an individual can give themselves is to be of help to someone else and share kindness, as much as possible. He said desperation is a key factor ruining human values, because the great value of patience has vanished amongst us, due to desperation.

Leadership he said, is about serving, but most leaders do not uphold this key attribute, hence, they find it hard to train others who would be able to lead when they leave their positions. He said when a leader is unable to be a role model and train others to take over from them, they hesitate to leave their position because they do not think ahead in order that they prepare effectively for their exit.

Our guest also shared how he got his reputable position at the United Nations, which was just by doing one act, he never thought would change is life, because he had always embodied this one trait that can lead to successful breakthrough for anyone who practices it.

When you truly aspire for something, you love, you must be ready to invest in yourself and invest in what you. Engineer Ogundele who made this remark also said that people should not say something is difficult without giving it a go, amongst other valuable nuggets shared in this podcast.
