Today’s episode features bestselling author, Katie Shugars. In our conversation, we discuss her recently published book, Living My Better Life: Finding Freedom in Healing. Over the last two years, she found herself sitting in front of a therapist talking about her life. While she documented key takeaways of nearly every therapy session, she had no idea she was writing a book all along. Throughout her pain, shame, and fear, she found herself healing from grief, trauma, and toxic thought patterns and behaviors. For someone who thought there was no hope in escaping the darkest pit of my life, she found freedom in healing. She also shares her idea that no one is actually “living their best life” because we can all heal, grow, and learn from our experiences. Her vulnerability and authenticity are an inspiration and will help you to live your better life.

In today’s episode, we talk with Kirk Lawrence, the bestselling author of Zero’s Heroes, the 1981 true story of when personal trainer Kirk Lawrence was hired by San Francisco 49ers tight end, Charle Young. Their backgrounds were like night and day, but for six months their training became legendary in the Niners organization. Charle’s results included leading a Niners team that went from “Laughable Losers to Super Bowl XVI Champions.” Fresno, CA, then gave him The Key to the City.
Kirk’s own transformation fueled his fitness career success. His story takes you from when he ran away as a teenager in the dead of night to where he meets Joanie Greggains and makes an impact on morning television. Kirk continued as a consultant to San Quentin prison, coaching fitness students around the world with IDEA, leading the 10,000 person Dole Cup tournament in Japan, being hired by UCSF Medical School to lead a 2 year study on women, exercise and preventing osteoporosis, and training America’s public school students with Raisin Youth Fitness, endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and the then 1991 President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Everyone wants to feel like a hero. But grit, persistence and determination alone make the difference. No matter what the situation, Kirk went on a coaching quest to be his best.
His enduring message is to stick to the fight when you’re the hardest hit, it’s when things seem the worst-
Rest, but Don’t Quit!
------------------
Kirk grew up, like many children today, in a family that started out like a dream and ended in a divorce. His parent’s divorce took place in January of 1965. He was stuck in a toxic environment, and as he got older, the question he needed to answer was how anyone could rise above the constant, toxic, negative divorce stress.
He learned from tremendous instructors in Kenpo, Yoga, Wing Chun, weight training with Vince Gironda and Frank Zane, as well from the dance, ballet, and movement instructors at the American Conservatory Theater. He was a graduate of the famous bodybuilding camp, Zane Haven, in Palm Springs, California. These coaches helped Kirk make an impact on physical education and fitness training for men, women, and children.

In today’s episode, we talk with Julie Boden Schmidt, the bestselling author of a new children’s book titled Woody’s Leap of Faith. Julie spent much of her career in health care, but always dreamed about writing a book. A great mystery fan, she assumed if she ever pursued that dream, it would be, of course, a mystery. Then, one day while working in remote Montana, she saw three photographs of wood ducklings preparing to leave the nest – by jumping! Her curiosity was roused and imagination stimulated about what it was like to take that jump. That thought was the inspiration for Woody, Buzz, and Zoey – three wood ducklings with distinct personalities and individual and funny ways of responding to the challenge of leaving the nest. Having fallen in love with these three ducklings, the author’s career has shifted with more of their tales to be told.
