“What’s Your Plan” with James DeMeo

All Network Episodes, The Empowered Whistle Blower

Decades of law enforcement experience have taught James DeMeo to always be ready for the unexpected–hostility/mass shootings and more. We talk about what it means to be ready in this interview. You can learn more about James here:

About (James DeMeo LinkedIn)

Having the courage to step outside your comfort zone is never an easy task. I spent 21 years law in enforcement, a noble but dangerous profession. I retired in 2011 and earned my post graduate degree from Adelphi University. Since finishing Act 1, I have continued my life long passion for learning, teaching & professional career development. The best career advice I can offer is to face your fears head-on, take a deep breath and simply go for it. Make your dreams a reality. You can’t change the world by having fear. You can’t change the world by talking about it. You just have to go out and do it. Today. Right now. Thank you.

Sage-Like Advice-Change Agent 2020 & Beyond:

In business and in life, when you are not pushing the envelope, not pushing yourself beyond your limits you are not creating impact. When you start to feel resistance that means you are creating meaningful change.

Lead from the front. Lead without fear. Education & Knowledge are the antidote to fear. Fear is simply not an option. Fear is not part of the equation. God Bless America.

James A. DeMeo, M.S. brings nearly three decades security, law enforcement & consulting experience to both the public/private sectors.

Setting Boundaries: Self Care or Selfish Care

All Network Episodes, Martha Jucknowski, Source Harmonics Podcast

On this week’s edition of Empowered Empaths, Kristin and I discussed the importance of setting boundaries in our relationships with others. Many people think that setting boundaries means that you’re metaphorically standing on the parapet with gun loaded, waiting to open fire on any and all invaders as they approach your post. In that world, everyone and everything is a threat and must be dealt with as such, it is fear based and deeply counterproductive when it comes to having healthy relationships with ourselves and others.Setting healthy boundaries is one of the main tenets of self care, self love and self respect. Since I believe that you can’t give away what you don’t have, I believe that it is vital to cultivate a deep appreciation for who you are, not necessarily because of your accomplishments but because you know you are a sacred aspect of Divinity who is currently inside a human form because something needs doing here and you are the only one who can do that particular thing. We come here with all of the resources we need to do that job and it’s up to us to manage, grow and nurture those resources and distribute those resources as needed to fulfill our life’s purpose.As Empaths, we tend to feel the needs of others and give freely our emotional, mental and spiritual support and I will continue to do so until I feel taken advantage of because the person does not want to learn and grow herself. We are here to learn and grow, not commit grand spiritual larceny by attempting to usurp the wisdom that someone else has gained from doing the work themselves. One of the hardest lessons I have learned is that I can’t and shouldn’t try to alleviate the suffering of everyone I meet, remembering that our greatest wisdom and growth very often comes through pain and struggle. Part of my practice is to walk with someone who is suffering and teaching them to find their own resources and their own path to healing.Putting up healthy boundaries every day is vital for your well being and You can do that by imagining yourself being enclosed in a bubble of light that nothing and no one of evil or harmful intent can penetrate. You are the one who decides who and what gets in while your own energy is able to freely move out. While it may seem selfish to place boundaries around yourself, try to look at this from a different perspective: when we do too much for others, we deprive them of opportunities to grow and learn while at the same time, we disrespect our Divine self, purpose and gifts by allowing them to be stolen. Better to be able to give freely with guidance and discretion.

Many blessings…Martha

What is Feminine Power and How Do We Find It?

All Network Episodes, Martha Jucknowski, Source Harmonics, Source Harmonics Articles, Source Harmonics Podcast

Lisa Erickson joins Kristin and Martha to talk about feminine power!

Who are you? Here are the answers likely to be repeated ad Infinitum: I am a wife, mother, daughter, caretaker, teacher, cashier, volunteer. I cook, clean, shop, manage the health and well-being of my husband, children, extended family all while ignoring my own well being, run consistently on fumes and will not sleep unless I know my people are AOK. All very valid observations of the role you play on a daily basis, but I’ll ask again…. WHO ARE YOU?

The Empowered Empath

As Kristin and I embark on this joyful and magical journey with our show “Empowered Empaths”, it may be helpful to describe many of the attributes that an empath embodies but first, let’s look at the difference between a very sensitive person (Vsp) and an empath. Some people can walk into a room and sense the “mood” of the place.

Tracey Maxfield–Escaping the Rabbit Hole (Bullying)

All Network Episodes, The Empowered Whistle Blower

In Tracey Maxfield’s words: “Tracey Maxfield is a retired nurse with over 36 years’ experience in gerontology, mental health, and dementia care. In 2017-19, she was a regular guest on well-known author and radio host Peter Rosenberger’s show Hope For the Caregiver on Sirius radio. Tracey has written articles on dementia care, medical research and mental illness/bullying in teenagers. She is the Purple Angel Dementia Ambassador for the Okanagan. B.C. and NAASCA Ambassador for B.C., Canada.

Tracey experienced her first episode of clinical depression in her twenties and lived with chronic depression ever since. However, nothing prepared her for the acute depressive episode she experienced in 2015. After enduring years of intense workplace stress, harassment and bullying, she plummeted into an abyss of darkness, hopelessness and despair the likes of which she had never experienced before.

Encouraged by a psychologist, Tracey started a Blog, Escaping the Rabbit Hole: my life with depression, to better help her friends understand her depression. Over time, Tracey began to heal and found that out of the darkness and despair, there is hope, there is life after depression.

Escaping the Rabbit Hole: my journey through depression is Tracey’s first book and has received international rave reviews. Since the release of her book, Tracey has become a staunch advocate for Mental Illness and Mental Health Awareness and Bullying and completed the course, Bringing Mental Health to Schools. She has met with children, teenagers and young adults to talk about bullying and mental illness and was one of the ‘Break Out’ presenters at the TEACH 2019 Conference in Jacksonville, Florida.

Her website www.traceymaxfield.com was recently awarded the silver medal for Best Author Website 2019 at the eLit Awards and her book was a top 10 finalist in the Non-Fiction category at the Author Academy Awards. Tracey has appeared on ABC, NBC and FOX TV morning shows, live radio and over 60 podcasts in the USA, Canada, New Zealand and UK. She recently returned from the UK where she gave a presentation about bullying in the workplace at a Hospital in Somerset.

Tracey has her own You Tube channel: Engage Educate Empower and posts weekly videos and blog posts about mental illness and bullying. In December 2019 she released her first on-line course about mental illness, suicide and bullying in children and teenagers. Her philosophy is to Engage children and teenagers, to Educate them about mental illness and bullying and to Empower them to develop confidence and skills to continue to move ahead in their own life journey.
