Get Coach D's latest book, The Magic of Dreaming BIG, Acting small, and Achieving success https://a.co/d/hUSqZ9w   Embark on a transformative odyssey with me, Gemma Serenity Gorokhoff, as I host the extraordinary Dominika Staniewicz—also known as Coach D—who unpacks the secrets to crafting goals that not only inspire but are also within our grasp. Prepare to recalibrate your understanding of success as we navigate through the nuances of personal achievement, tailored to your distinct narrative. Coach D, with her compelling tale of adversity to triumph, offers a fresh perspective on the stepping stones to greatness. She challenges us to shoot for the stratosphere, setting milestones that are ambitious yet realistic. Together, we confront the societal pressure of success, debunking the myth of overnight victories and instead, championing the incremental progress that shapes our journey.   The episode further illuminates the joy in celebrating the minute wins, the kind that fans roar over in the stands, showcasing why each step forward deserves its moment in the spotlight.  Coach D brings to the table the game-changing strategy of two-millimeter shifts, the subtle but consistent actions that lead to profound change. Plus, she introduces her 30-day brain rewiring toolkit, a short book filled with stories, exercises, and resources that promise to align your daily hustle with your loftiest ambitions. Whether you're clinging to your New Year's resolutions or seeking to redefine your life's direction, this episode is a reservoir of wisdom for anyone ready to redefine their approach to goal setting and embrace success on their own terms.   Dominika in her own words I am one of the few Elite Neuro Encoding specialists in the world with a holistic life coaching qualification and am licensed as a brain coach by Dr. Amen, a renowned neuropsychiatrist. My coaching approach is unique because I blend scientific knowledge about the brain with the emotional support of a life coach. I use techniques like neuroencoding and EMDR to help my clients reprogram their brains and create new neuropathways, enabling them to achieve their desired lives. I originally received an MS in sociology and education and worked as a successful career coach in Europe. However, despite my professional success, I felt unfulfilled and out of place. When I lost my 16-month-old son and struggled with depression and low self-esteem. I became trapped in a negative mindset and believed that the world was against me due to my inability to cope with the trauma. It was at this point, that I realized, that it was not possible for everything and everyone around me to be wrong or bad. This realization marked the beginning of my transformation journey. I began learning about how the brain and emotions function, and eventually trained and qualified as an Elite Neuro Encoding specialist at the Neuroencoding Institute with Joseph McClendon III. I also graduated from Amen University with a rare certification as a Brain coach and Trainer. I became one of the few certified brain coaches in the world with a scientific and holistic coaching approach. Since then, I have worked with many well-known coaches and learned hands-on. I now live in integrity with my dreams and values and help my clients thrive on their own terms. With a wide range of tools and in-depth knowledge, I help clients overcome trauma, stress, and pain without having to revisit their past. My strategies can help them overcome depression and anxiety and give them the tools to understand and change their habits and default to their best behavior. I can assist you in eliminating fears of failure, success, and fear of rejection. I will help you eliminate procrastination and self-doubt or help you assassinate chronic stress. With the new tools and abilities that you will gain during our sessions, you will experience life in a way that will open more doors to possibilities and joy on your terms. If I was able to do it, you can too.   Reference to Dominika Staniewicz's 2 previous appearance on Gemma's other podcast, Real Talk Real Women Breaking The Silence Around Abuse https://www.realtalk-realwomen.com/e/s2e28-1-when-you-are-in-the-middle-of-hell-keep-walking-even-hell-has-a-border-with-coachd-dominika-staniewicz/   https://www.realtalk-realwomen.com/e/s2e28-2-the-science-of-happiness-and-our-relationship-with-money-in-our-brains-with-coach-d-dominika-staniewicz/     Connect with Coach D, Dominika Staniewicz On her website: https://yourbraincoachd.com/ By email: yourbraincoachd@gmail.com On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YourBrainCoachD/ On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourbraincoachd

Faith, Divine Service, and Miracles with Marcie Macari When Marcie Macari walked into an ordinary church, with palms sweaty and a heart full of hope, little did she know that she was stepping into what would become a defining moment of her life. Listen to this remarkable narrative of how she and her then-husband trusted the universe, embarking on a mission trip to South Africa with only their faith as currency, performing heartfelt dramas and counting on the generosity of strangers for survival. Marcie's story is about the exact amount of money to the cent that appeared as if by magic, it's about the reaffirmation of faith, the kindness that thrives in human hearts, and the affirming nod from the universe when you're on the path you're meant to walk. The experience of Marcie's five years in ministry is a delightful blend of serendipity, spiritual connections, and minimalism that would rival Thoreau's time at Walden Pond. Let's dive together along these unexpected twists and turns, from the ice cream shop that held more than just sweet treats to the countless congregations whose open arms provided much more than shelter. It's a poignant reminder of how life is rich with connections that transcend our physical needs, binding us together in an unseen yet profoundly felt network of generosity and shared humanity. Join us for an episode that touches the heart and awakens the soul to the boundless possibilities when service and faith go hand in hand. Marcie's introduction Marcie Macari is a published author, Culinary Instructor to adults with developmental disabilities, and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner. Her resilience resume includes: surviving every kind of abuse, nearly every natural disaster, a health condition that left her bedridden overnight and stole more than 10 years of her life, and being abandoned by a Christian ministry in Africa when she came out as a Lesbian.  With the ministry refusing to fly her home or renew her work visa, Marcie started making, selling, or trading handmade greeting cards for food to feed her and her 14 month old daughter. When she was 24 and woke up suddenly very ill, she went to every type of doctor and specialist she could find. No one seemed to be able to help, so she studied to be Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner, (ROHP) graduated the 3-year program in a year with First Class Honors and worked to heal herself using food and nutrition as medicine. She has been helping people heal themselves ever since, and coaching people to harness their resilience to overcome the challenges they face to bounce, not break! Marcie is the author of “She Births: A Modern Woman’s Guidebook for an Ancient Rite of Passage” and has been published in several magazines including: “VIVA”, “Compleat Mother”, and “Island Child”. Her stories and writings have appeared in: “Bearing Witness” by Dr. Lisa Doran and Lisa Caron, as well as in several blogs. She is an inspirational speaker with over 10,000 stage performances to her name and hundreds of workshops, presentations, and speeches under her pre-digital era belt.  Marcie speaks on topics of importance to women, entrepreneurs, the LGBTQ community, welcoming religious groups and marginalized youth-all with a focus on RESILIENCE.    When she isn’t speaking, working on her next book, or teaching, you can probably find her cuddled up with her Cornish Rex Cosmo and a cup of herbal tea.   Connect with Marcie Macari on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marciemacari on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Marcie925 by Email: marciemacari@gmail.com by phone & text: +1 716 777 0973     Do you care about getting featured and published on UPLIFT!

Redefining Aging with Carolyn Boras, certified RTT® practitioner and international teacher The golden years are often painted with the brush of retirement and winding down, but not for Carolyn Boras. At 69, this full-time teacher and hypnotherapist is redefining what it means to age with verve. She's not stepping back; she's stepping up, embracing the 70s as her second brilliant career, and looking ahead to her 80s as her 'Yoda years'—a time to share accumulated wisdom. With Carolyn's story as a beacon, we explore how a life-changing health scare can ignite a fervent mission to help others, exemplifying that it's never too late to forge a new path and make an indelible mark on the world. As she stands at the end of her 6th decade, the conversation takes a personal turn, reflecting on the pivotal experiences that have sculpted her journey, like the serendipity of a Bhutanese blessing and the tranquility found in Balinese yoga. These experiences remind us that our attitude and the company we keep can significantly influence our aging process, as demonstrated through stories of resilience, like the story of a senior who stared down cancer with a potent positive mindset. We unpack the secrets of longevity found in 'blue zones' and celebrate the continuous personal growth that each decade can bring. Through this episode, we extend an invitation to listeners to redefine their own decades and cultivate a life brimming with zest, discovery, and unending curiosity. Carolyn Boras' short bio I packed my bags, left everything that was familiar and moved halfway around the world. Why? I was desperate for some relief. I had already been in education for more than 20 years. I experienced anxiety, panic, and dread when faced with work-life imbalance, unrealistic expectations and the feelings of guilt and failure because I wanted something better for my life. The thought of having to stay where I was for another 15 years before I could retire, was incomprehensible to me.   I’ve been an international educator now for almost 20 years. But taking such drastic measures is not doable for everyone. Changing the scene doesn’t necessarily change the details. There’s a much simpler and faster way for affecting healthy change. My goal is to help educators who are experiencing “burn-out” restore their self-esteem and confidence and to reclaim their personal power using proven tools and techniques that I know provide life-changing results.   The tools of Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) have a powerful, transformative effect. RTT® can help shift limiting beliefs that hold you back from reclaiming your self-esteem, confidence, sense of purpose and personal power, so that you can live the life that you envision.   Connect with Carolyn Boras by email to carolyn@carolynborashypnotherapy.com on her website: https://carolynborashypnotherapy.com     Do you care about getting featured and published on UPLIFT!
