694 | Rising from Shadows: A Survivor's Tale of Overcoming Abuse - Interview - Dana S. Diaz
Dana S. Diaz studied journalism and psychology at DePaul University. While there’s no better teacher than life experience and Dana has had life-long experiences with narcissistic abuse, her education did give her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims. Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement. When she isn’t speaking out on narcissistic abuse, Dana can be found listening to music by Eric Hutchinson, Elle King, Green Day, Amy Winehouse, Julia Michaels and Taylor Swift. She equally loves her gray Converse sho…

687 | Surviving Human Trafficking: Story of Resilience & Empowerment - Interview - Amanda Blackwood
I'm a survivor of human trafficking. I didn't tell anyone for such a long time. It was my scary little secret. It would stay that way, I thought. In 2019 the man who had trafficked me made me famous on a pornography sight by sharing rape videos and photos, and linked them all to my social media pages. I reached out to an anti-trafficking organization here in Colorado who paired me with legal services to assist in having the videos taken down, but I made the mistake one day of thinking I was alone in the office. My boss had been only 100 yards away and could overhear my conversation with my lawyer and never made a sound - until the call ended. When the call ended and I heard him moving around, I knew he had been listening. He knew I was a survivor of trafficking. Less than a month later I was fired. It was the week before Thanksgiving, four months before the pandemic. It was one of the best things that could have happened to me. I'm now a full time author and public speaker. In…

665 | Pen to Page: Navigating the Author’s Journey - Interview - Jackie Haley
Nevada author Jackie Haley is celebrating an important accomplishment, with the release of her second book, “Truce Island.” “Truce Island” is the sequel to Haley’s first novel, “Crystal Beach,” which was published in November 2012. That novel, many recall, was endorsed by the Des Moines Register’s Michael Morain, who wrote: “With an eye for detail and a nose for romance, Haley imagines what might happen if the girl next door stumbled into a James Bond movie. Smuggled diamonds, mafia thugs, a tall dark stranger, Crystal Beach has the makings of a Hollywood hit.” Support our podcast show by: https://www.positivetalkradio.net/support/ https://kmmedia.pro/our-store Patreon - patreon.com/positivetalkradio Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/positivetalkradio Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/positivetalkradio/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@positivetalkradio?lang=en Twitter - https://twitter.com/positivetradio

661 | Mindful Mastery: The Journey to Inner Peace - Interview - Allison Liss
If you think you think then you are somewhat mistaken. Your thoughts mostly come from other sources, such as things you have read or were told. Your thoughts and opinions are assigned to you and then we passed along to others. These are the thoughts that are not from your OWN source and therefore, are not yours. This is unfortunate since your organic thoughts are clear. They are more of a knowing. They are your roadmap, your internal compass that provides you the peace you are longing for. In today’s climate it is all but impossible to have an original idea or an original thought that has not been tainted by outside influences. Meditation gives you the experience of hearing your soul speak. Don’t waste any more time and energy living the lives of other peoples imaginations. Instead, practice being free to choose to live the life that is specifically and uniquely meant for you. This freedom to live life on your own terms is not only necessary for you, but it is your responsibil…
