Recorded June 2024I recorded an episode with Natasia Schumacher over a year ago… and never released it. She’s a transformation coach and personal trainer, but even she couldn’t stop wondering how it turned out. In this episode she talks about how much she grown in her life, from personal stories about her family, her sobriety, her role as a mom, it was an incredible conversation.GUEST INFORMATIONNatasia Schumacher: Founder and Owner of Shift and Play: ⁠https://www.shiftandplay.com/⁠CONTACT INFO / SOCIALSInstagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/coachnatasia⁠ Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/natasiaschumacher/⁠ Email: ⁠[email protected]

What If You’ve Been Seeing Yourself All Wrong?I recorded this episode with Natasia Schumacher over a year ago… and never released it. She’s a transformation coach and personal trainer, but even she couldn’t stop wondering how it turned out. When you don’t know, your mind fills in the blanks. And usually, those blanks aren’t kind. She thought it was going to be awful. I asked her to watch it — then come meet me. What happened next? None of us expected it.#personalgrowth #selfawareness #realconversations #podcast GUEST INFORMATIONNatasia Schumacher: Founder and Owner of Shift and Play: https://www.shiftandplay.com/CONTACT INFO / SOCIALSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachnatasia Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natasiaschumacher/ Email: [email protected]

What if one photo could change your life?Eight years ago, while climbing Mount Everest, my guest Sean Scobbie captured a powerful image of a grandfather and his granddaughter in Nepal.

In this episode, he shares the full-circle moment that brought him back to Everest, picture in hand, to find the man in the photo and say thank you.#photography #everest #griefandgrowth GUEST SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanscobbieTIMESTAMPS:0:00: Episode Trailer01:11: Story #1 - "10 Seconds Later" 10:33: Story #2 - "The Climb" 28:58: Story #3 - "Grandpa's Hands" 38:34: Story #4 - "We Almost Gave Up"STORY BREAKDOWNStory #1 - "10 Seconds Later" I saw one of his photos in a newspaper and couldn’t stop thinking about it.

It just happened spontaneously Story #3 - "Grandpa's Hands" He took a photo of a grandfather and his granddaughter on his first trip to Nepal. He didn’t know it then, but that image would stay with him for years and eventually lead him back across the world.Story #4 - "We Almost Gave Up"The second climb was harder. The mission was different. And at one point, they almost turned back. But what happened at the end made it all worth it.BOOKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE:07:58: "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" Stephen King - https://amzn.to/44FvMZo08:37: "The Artist's Way" Julia Cameron https://amzn.to/4lPewrS____________________________________________________________Everyone’s Got A Story — Wanna Hear More?Subscribe to the podcast and follow us for future episodes.🔴 Subscribe on YouTube & Leave Feedback/Comments: https://www.youtube.com/@theDMWpodcast?sub_confirmation=1📸 Follow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thedmwpodcast/📘 Follow our Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561920366327🎧 Follow / Subscribe on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/50xjyHPYELBwDhP0u37cOgApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dead-man-walking-podcast/id1686322888📩 Join the Mailing List for our newsletter "Underground Noise"https://thedmwpodcast.com/subscribe
