073 | Becoming Fearless Part One

WITH SARAH BALL

“What offers people hope and help is when they know you’ve actually walked through it.”

— Sarah E Ball

About Sarah:

She went from a self proclaimed ‘suck it up princess’ to fearing for her life. It was a mental breakdown after her fifth child that changed everything. As a driven and talented mommy blogger she was always on the move, pushing herself to be better every single day. 

One afternoon she got on the treadmill for her regular workout but she soon realized something was terribly wrong when her heart rate would not go back to normal. Fearing she was having a heart attack, she called 911 and the braced for the worst. What she thought was a heart attack turned out to be the first of many panic attacks that would alter Sarah’s life.

Sarah E. Ball, is an author, speaker, mom of five and mental illness survivor. She inspires others to live fearlessly by sharing her humour, vulnerability and wisdom on overcoming anxiety and depression. Sarah offers fearless hope to many through her blog - saraheball.com , online courses, speaking and book - Fearless in 21 Days, A Survivor’s Guide To Overcoming Anxiety.

You don’t want to miss this two-part conversation with Sarah E. Ball. This conversation is completely changed my view point on mental health. As a survivor of anxiety and depression myself I realized that there is still so much I have to learn. Sarah candidly shares her story, and how she has over come anxiety, depression as well as harm OCD. 

In the first part of the conversation we touch on the reason people struggle to overcome mental health and instead of getting help they make their lives small to accommodate their illness. 

We talk about the church, and how it handles mental health, and what we need to be doing.

071 | A Journey To Olympic Gold

WITH MEAGAN DUHAMEL

“When I was on the Olympic podium all I was thinking about was the journey. ”

— Meagan Duhamel

About Meagan:

At the age of three my guest today Meagan Duhamel already had big dreams for her life. She probably didn’t realize that she would be winning multiple Olympic medals at that age but by the time she was 14 she was serious enough about her career that she convinced her parents to let her move from her hometown of Lively Ontario to Barrie. It wasn’t the easiest transition but she was determined to continue her training as a skater. She started out as a singles skater but then switched to pairs, having two different partners. In 2010, Meagan thought her career might be coming to an end when she was unable to qualify for the Olympics. But shortly after she was introduced to Eric Radford who at the time seemed like an unlikely match.

The two went on to become Canadian legends. In 2018 two-time world champions Meagan Duhamel and her partner Eric Radford captured their seventh consecutive Canadian title, becoming one of the most decorated Canadian pair teams in history. A month later, then went on to win a Gold medal in the team event in Py (NK) and a Bronze medal in the pairs event. They are known to push the limits of their sport by challenging themselves to be better. Their signature element include death spiral, and quad throws. 

Duhamel and Radford continue to push the limits of the sport and are always challenging themselves to be better. With signature elements including stunning death spirals and quad throws, the strong and consistent pair continue to raise the bar season after season.

Meagan lives in Boucherville QC with her husband Bruno Marcotte who coincidentally is also her coach. Meagan studied holistic/naturpathic health and became a certified holistic nurtitionist in 2012. She became a vegan in 2008 and loves to share her love for nutrition and health. She also has two rescue dogs Theo and Mootae.

068 | Scarcity Is A Lie

WITH ANDREA CRISP

It's no secret that your mindset can radically shift the course of your life. For many years I had bought into the lie that I would never be enough for others, that I would always be in lack and that I better get used to standing at the end of the line. 

It took me being wracked with physical and emotional pain to understand that I needed to break the lie that I would always live in uncertainty and fear. There was more for me but I had to first believe that it was possible.

Scarcity is a lie and if you're living in a place where you feel as though you need to prove yourself, where you're always vying for a seat at the table then you may be living with a mentality of lack.

In this weeks episode of The Couragecast, I'm sharing how I am personally dismantling the lie of scarcity in my life and I invite you to join me on the journey.

Join me for a 5 Day Abundance Challenge starting November 19, 2018.

067 | Trust The Process

WITH HANNAH MARKS

In this episode:

Life is not always as we think it will be. It’s definitely not perfect even if others perceive it to be. I’m excited to share my conversation with Hannah Marks with you because it will inspire you to live your life to the fullest no matter what comes your way.

Her second born was only a few weeks old when she passed out after feeding. Her skin was ashy and grey and Hannah knew that something was just not right with her baby girl London Elizabeth. The news she got from the doctor was scary and unbelievable. If London didn’t have heart surgery immediately she would not last through the night. Within moments everything changed for Hannah and her husband Robbie.

Hannah Marks is an independent sales director with a skin care and cosmetics direct sales company, leading women for 15 years. She has been married to Robbie for 16 years and they have two beautiful children, Will 9 and London Elizabeth 4. Originally from Great Britain, Hannah recently became an American Citizen but still enjoys all things British! Hannah’s main goal in life is to watch others, especially women become all that God created to be!
