In this powerful episode of Unspoken Emotions, Rachel Elimelech sits down with Lisa Negus to explore her incredible journey of overcoming childhood bullying, self-doubt, and the trauma of a life-altering accident. Lisa shares the deeply personal story of how she battled limiting beliefs and felt invisible for much of her life. She opens up about the struggles that led her to discover her resilience and her transformative journey toward becoming a coach, helping others find their voice and purpose. Lisa talks candidly about the grief and loss she experienced when she lost both of her parents within a short period. She walks us through her emotional process of rebuilding her life after those devastating events, and how this experience fueled her desire to help others navigate their own pain. Her story is one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the power of embracing change - both in ourselves and in the world around us. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building Self-Esteem: Overcoming childhood bullying and self-doubt is a transformative process that requires self-compassion and resilience. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Lisa opens up about her personal experience with imposter syndrome and how it shaped her adult life. The Role of Hypnotherapy: After feeling stuck with traditional therapy, Lisa sought healing through hypnotherapy, which helped her find clarity and closure. Healing from Grief: Grief is an ongoing process, but self-compassion and the courage to look forward can help us heal. Empowering Others: Lisa shares how helping others navigate their struggles became the key to finding her own purpose and fulfillment. Embracing Change: Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s often the gateway to personal growth and transformation. BEST MOMENTS "I would tell that younger self that other people's opinions don't matter. Other people's opinions aren't correct." "It was a really difficult time... I just did not know what had happened... I remember sitting in the back of that police car, just shaking." "I see probably my late 20s, 30s, and even early 40s as almost like a wasteland in life where things could have been so much different had I been different." "You know, things like that can shape us and shape our lives moving forward." "Grief is a very difficult thing to overcome... It's like a big old football in your stomach... gradually the size of that ball shrinks."

Empowered by Darkness Andrea Medina Hi, I’m Andrea Medina. Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to. My goal is that Never Alone Infertility Morgan and Madison Never Alone is a podcast for women navigating infertility, loss, and everything in between. We’re two friends whose paths intertwined during our own walks through infertility, and we understand how isolating and overwhelming the process can be. From the uncertainty of IVF to the heartache of miscarriage and the patience required in moments of waiting, we’re here for you.Join us each week as we have real and raw conversations about the challenges and emotions of walking through infertility and loss – both from our own experiences and speaking with other women. We’re glad you’re here, and hope you feel seen, supported and most of all know that you’re never alone. THINK BIGGER, THINK BETTER Paul Gibbons THINK BIGGER, THINK BETTER presents the 21st century’s leading entrepreneurs, scientists, philosophers, public intellectuals, and business and political leaders as they discuss the most important issues of today. Join your host Paul Gibbons and his guests as they explore themes such as: progress and technology, reason and emotions, ethics and business leadership, science and health, media and society, politics and education, pseudoscience and marketing hype, neuroscience and decision making.
