Healing From Heartbreak

Nada Hogan, healing from heartbreak Life can turn in an instant: a phone call, a letter, a knock on the door. Everything you thought you knew, everything that was “normal” is pulled apart and thrown upside-down.

In that heart-stopping moment, you know life will never be the same. And sometimes, it can feel like life isn’t just changed… but over.

For Nada Hogan, that knock on the door was a pair of police officers. While Nada was trying to figure out what was going on, she noticed that one officer’s badge said “Chaplain.”

Nada’s 18 year old daughter had been killed in an accident.

Her already-stressed life was thrown into a tailspin. Some days, she could barely pull herself out of bed.

Then, she decided to make a change. To honor her daughter, Darah, in living a life of purpose.

One little step at a time, Nada pulled her life back together. She found a connection to something bigger than herself… and eventually, to a purpose bigger than her grief.

Now, Nada helps others move through their heartbreaks to find healing. She starts at the place where you might not even want to get out of bed. She knows that spot! She’s been there.

Join Nada and me as we discuss how to heal after heartbreak.

Loops

May 16, 2016 by Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D. Leave a Comment

It’s just human nature. We like things

And when they’re not, they can often tug at us, pulling energy and focus away. When things are left hanging, we feel (oh, by the way, the last word from that first line is “finished”) incomplete, unfinished, unsatisfied.

So, what is a “Loop?” Great question. This one concept, if you understand it, will help you get free. If you feel stuck, this is something you need to understand. More than that, this is one of the most. . .

Tell you what, I’ll let you listen and hear for yourself.

4 Strategies For Moving From Struggle To Thriving: #47 Thriveology Podcast

December 8, 2014 by Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D. Leave a Comment

Every person has circumstances that knock them down.

A Japanese proverb says,

Fall down seven times, get up eight.

We can’t stop the circumstances. They just happen. You don’t have to seek them out. They will come.

Illness, job loss, relationships ending, business loss, deaths, and any other life circumstances happen. That is the nature of life.

A thriving life is not about what happens to you, but how you respond.

Do you grow through the struggles or do you shrink from it? Do you rise up, or do you stay down? Do you grow, or do you flee?

Yes, we all have grief from the losses. No question, we feel the grief. The question is, what do you do after the grief? How do you take on the struggles, make them challenges, and learn to triumph?

In today’s podcast, I give you 4 strategies to help you shift from victim to victor, and move from struggle to triumph.
