In this episode, Jessica Buchanan opens up about the most horrific and terrifying experience that forever changed her life. Join us as she takes us through the heart-wrenching details of her 93 days in captivity, revealing a story of unimaginable resilience and unwavering courage in the face of despair. Resilience doesn't even begin to describe the fortitude she displayed during her captivity. Jessica's journey goes beyond survival - she exemplifies the true meaning of sharing one's story. Instead of healing in hiding, Jessica has learned that openly and vulnerably sharing her experience led her to a path of freedom. This is her story.

Jessica Buchanan is a teacher, best selling author, humanitarian, speaker, and a kidnapping survivor. On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93 days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team VI on January 25, 2012. Jessica’s ordeal is detailed in her New York Times bestselling book, Impossible Odds: The Kidnapping of Jessica Buchanan and Her Dramatic Rescue by SEAL Team Six. Jessica has been named one of the ‘150 Women Who Will Shake the World’ by Newsweek, and her story has been one of the most highly viewed 60 Minutes episodes to air, to date. Jessica has shared her story of overcoming impossible odds on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Today Show, Stephen Colbert, The Unbeatable Mind with Navy SEAL Mark Divine, and All the Wiser with Kimi Culp, just to name a few. Jessica’s story was the subject of Wondery’s Season 2 Against The Odds, and her TEDx Pearl Street talk, ‘Change is Your Proof of Life’ has been the foundation for which she travels the world, inspiring audiences to access their resilience by identifying their own autonomy and choice in the middle of their own life changing event, even when they feel they are out of options.

In this episode, Jessica also talks about:

• The instant life regrets she felt as she fully realized the gravity of what was happening to her;
• Her emotional journey throughout her 93 days in captivity;
• The moment she realized the depth of her own tenacity & felt empowered with the opportunity in front of her;
• The difference between options and choices & how we all have a choice;
• How she intentionally & mindfully took the opportunity to relive moments and process feelings & emotions that had long been left unprocessed;
• The connection she found with her deceased Mom out in the desert & how she became her beacon of light in the darkness;
• How her kidnapping exposed deep self-abandonment.

As I stood there watching the characters in my dream, like watching scenes unfold on a cinematic reel, I felt a presence to my right. A shadow appeared out of the corner of my eye, and there he was. As though he had descended gracefully from the heavens to join me in the theater of my subconscious, there my father stood with a radiating smile of warmth, bringing sunshine to my heart. As my heart skipped a beat, full of elation, I stretched out my arm to lock it in with his and nestled my head against his shoulder, seeking comfort and closeness in this presence. As expected, he welcomed me into his warm embrace, our souls reunited once again, for the first time in a long time.

Suddenly, the reel flickered, creating a dance of light and shadows, unveiling a different scene where we were now the main characters of the movie. Seated side by side, immersed in a deep conversation, I quickly noted the difference in his presence. Typically a visit from my father is so fleeting, like a moment lingering on the periphery of my memory. No, his presence was not fleeting, it was long-lasting, intending to leave a lasting imprint etched in the fabric of my memory.

Waking from my dream felt like emerging from a surreal world. As reality gently reasserted it's presence, I was reminded of the significance of the day. It was 11/11. Of course my father came to me in the most significant way. I wouldn't have expected it any other way. You see, his spiritual presence has always been associated with the time 11:11. The lasting imprint he left etched in the fabric of my memory was intended to be symbolically powerful and spiritually aligned. And that it was.

In this solo episode, I talk about the significance of this dream. I speak from my heart, sharing with you all the transition I am currently in, personally and professionally. I recap significant moments from the last year, that when reflected on in hindsight, the manifestation of these events becomes crystal clear. The Universe is working WITH me, with my dreams and desires, and my father came to me in the most special and symbolic way to remind me to keep going. Everything is happening just as it is meant to. I am in alignment.

And with that, I announce that change is coming to the podcast. I am not sure what this change will look like just yet, that is still something I am working on uncovering. I birthed this podcast on January 1st, 2023, in honor of my father. As we approach the 1 year anniversary - paired with the beautiful and iconic appearance of my father in my dreams - it is only fitting that I hold tribute in his honor and continue to share with you all my journey as it continues to unfold in the most beautiful and fateful way.

I thank you all for being here, for your continued dedication and commitment to my show. I trust that you will continue to hold space for me as my story continues to unfold. Stay tuned for more to come! In the meantime, I have four more amazing conversations to share with you, conversations with courageous women vulnerably sharing their story. Their truth.

In this episode, Colleen Kachmann shares about her recovery journey from alcohol after 12 years of suffering from alcohol use disorder. She dives into the moment she made the decision to quit, the steps she took to support herself in her road to recovery, and how she learned that identifying as an alcoholic and promising to stay sober forever is a mistake. As Colleen explains, it's not about the alcohol, it's about your relationship with yourself. Tune in as Colleen gets real about how our thoughts are the real habit we need to break, and how she uses emotional sobriety to help women through their own recovery journey.

Colleen Kachmann is the host of the Recover With Colleen podcast (soon to be It's Not About the Alcohol: Holistic Recovery & Emotional Sobriety). She's a Master Coach helping women to reclaim their personal power through emotional sobriety. Most of her clients come to her looking to escape the alcohol trap. They quickly discover this is a thinking problem, not a drinking problem. And that identifying as an "alcoholic" who can't control herself only makes it worse. Colleen developed the 12-week Accelerated Recovery Process© using evidence-based strategies in neurophysiology and psychology to help women heal from shame and transform their sense of identity so they can learn how to trust themselves...with or without a drink in their hand.

In this episode, Colleen also talks about:

• As powerful as it felt to speak her truth, it felt equally powerless to say she's an alcoholic and commit the rest of her life to being in recovery;
• Her motivation to live a functional life while constantly hungover was tied to shame, and how shame continued to be the motivator long after sobriety, ultimately keeping her stuck;
• She relied on perfection to feel happy and thought that being sober was the perfect way to be;
• Awareness is the ability to tell the difference between what's going on in the mind and what's going on in the world;
• Feelings are the only facts you need to deal with - your thoughts, limiting beliefs and self-negative thinking are what cause the feelings;
• 99% of what we're thinking about is a product of our imagination;
• How we feel is a product of what's going on in our head, not the outside world;
• The belief that you can't control yourself is far more damaging than alcohol ever is;
• We can't control the thoughts in our head but we can control how we respond to them;
• You can't think yourself out of a thinking problem.

In this episode, Pamela Brett shares about her journey as a school teacher, in particular, teaching at a school with marginalized children. Everyday was a challenge, facing constant pushback and backlash from her students. Pam speaks about the immense anger that was projected at her from her students, and how at her weakest moment, she chose to persevere rather than give up. Using her intuition as a guiding post, Pam showed up each day, met her students where they were at, and lead each one of them to success. Tune in to hear this remarkable story, and how Pam continues to lean into her passion by paying it forward in coaching other teachers.

Pamela Brett is a Mathematics Specialist and the founder of a non-profit. She was a K-8 math teacher and math coach, as well as a curriculum writer. She has her Doctorate in mathematics education with a focus on how teachers attend to students' beliefs and emotions around learning math. She believes that every person is a math person and it is her life's mission to help people (kids and adults) see their potential as a mathematician. Pam is an avid reader of all things math education, and is currently working on launching her podcast - Blue Glasses Math - into the world for all to "see" math teaching and learning through different lenses.

In this episode, Pam also talks about:

• The moment she realized her students were never held accountable to think for themselves, and how this was the turning point for her that kept her going in the midst of the daily challenges;
• Her mentor's guidance was to "just get through the year and get them to graduation", but Pam knew these kids needed more from her than just traditional text book teachings;
• How she not only persevered through the anger being projected at her from her students, but how she also persevered through her own emotional turmoil to be there for them at the time that they needed her the most;
• She followed her intuition and taught in alignment with how she wanted to feel, which ultimately allowed her students to flourish;
• Pam saw her students as humans, took the time to get to know them and relate with them, which formed deep connections and trust in her relationships with each of them;
• By fulfilling her needs first, she was able to fully serve the kids and give them what they needed.
