“Just change one dynamic in your life and watch how your life multiply so quickly.” —Dave Sanderson

Dave Sanderson was just another passenger on US Airways Flight 1549 until everything changed in an instant. As the engines sputtered out after striking a flock of birds, the pilots attempted an unthinkable water landing in the icy Hudson River.

In those terrifying final moments, Dave found himself plunged into a fight for survival. Trapped inside the sinking fuselage, frigid water rapidly rising, escape seemed impossible. Above the chaos, rescuers screamed for him to get out— but how? With hypothermia setting in, Dave's endurance would be tested to the extreme.

Listen in as Dave shares how he survived the Hudson plane crash in 2009. He also details his life leading up to the crash, the profound life lessons he learned about being less judgmental of others and focusing less on always needing to be right, how teamwork controls the chaos, rediscovering his life's purpose, how letting go of ego is key to making a positive difference in the world.

"You're worthy and deserving of all spheres of wealth. It doesn't matter where you are right now, your life can change." -Daniel Gomez

Money is a powerful tool. It can be used for good or for bad, and it can make us feel either loved or lonely. But we often forget that our relationship with it reflects how we relate to ourselves.

Many people have an unhealthy relationship with money because they don't know what wealth means. They think that wealth is measured in material possessions like cars and houses, but being wealthy goes beyond that. 

In this episode, Award-Winning Keynote Speaker, Business Coach, and The Makings of a Millionaire Mind author, Daniel Gomez helps us understand wealth as to what it truly means. Listen in as Dr. Fred and Daniel talk about the 5 spheres of wealth, how we can improve our relationship with money, how our relationship with others influence our wealth, how we can transform our scar of regret to a scar of grace, how we can get rid of excuses, and why we should learn to surrender to God's will for us.

“There are no guarantees. I never want to be that person who's going to wait until retirement to do the things that I want to do.” —Julie Ann Mercouris

In the vulnerable years of childhood, traumas can sneak in like unwelcome guests, leaving indelible imprints on a child's psyche. Tragically, these experiences can cause children to feel responsible for their parents' struggles, and they may alter their behavior in a desperate attempt to feel loved. They unwittingly step into the shoes of a caregiver, shouldering far more responsibility than they should at such an age.

Healing these childhood traumas is a transformative process. It allows the victims to break free from the chains of their past, transitioning from merely surviving to living with purpose. Ultimately, with proper intervention and emotional healing, children can reclaim their lost innocence. 

In this episode, we hear from Transformational Coach, Julie Ann Mercouris how healing childhood trauma looked like for her. Dr. Fred and Julie also discuss how childhood dramas cause children to engage in emotional outsourcing, why we should look beyond what the eyes can see, why preparedness is an important step in the healing process, how to find your purpose in uncomfortable situations, and how to awaken the part of you that you think has died.
