94. Embracing Life's Challenges: Lori Pappas' Journey to Inner Peace and Humanitarian Impact

In this episode, Lori Pappas, a humanitarian and entrepreneur, shares her inspiring journey of overcoming personal struggles and transforming them into catalysts for growth and positive change. Lori's life story includes surviving a tumultuous childhood and being forced in to a mental institution in the 1960s by her over-religous parents. Pioneering as one of the first women in computer sales, and founding an international charity in Ethiopia, her insights on inner peace, self-discovery, and resilience are deeply explored. Her book 'The Magic of Yes,' offers pathways for finding inner peace through self-reflection and the 'DREAM' framework. Lori also touches on concepts such as self-compassion, forgiveness, and overcoming negative self-talk. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own journeys and leave feedback to help further the discussion on achieving inner peace and happiness.00:00 Introduction to Lori Pappas00:56 Early Life Struggles and Resilience04:27 Breaking Barriers in the Tech Industry07:53 Humanitarian Work in Africa12:23 The Magic of Yes: Lori's Book17:18 The Dream Framework Explained20:36 Cultivating Courage and Setting Boundaries24:50 Reincarnation and Past Lives25:37 The Power of Reflection26:18 Visions of Past Lives28:42 The Difference in This Life29:50 Inner Peace and Self-Reflection30:43 Sticky Thoughts and Self-Love34:11 Overcoming Negative Self-Talk36:27 Fostering Self-Compassion42:14 Final Thoughts and ResourcesTo learn more or contact Lori Pappas:www.LoriPappas.comPlease reach out to Lori Pappas about joining the Wisewomen sisterhoodEmail: [email protected] contact host Deborah Ashway:www.InnerSourceTherapy.com
