Five percent. That was her chance of survival. A hard thought for most, if not for all of us, to swallow. What would you do if you were told you had a five percent chance at life? Would you be satisfied with the person you have become, the lessons you’ve passed on to others, and the amount of time you’ve spent with those you love?

She developed a mindset that she wishes to pass on to others; to never give up, no matter how difficult the circumstances may be.This mindset helped her overcome a difficult illness that prevented her from witnessing the birth of her son.An illness that taught her a tough, but an important lesson: to not reason, but rather accept things for what they are.

Nancy John

We often go about our lives trying to follow the “C” word: our compass. However, it may not always be clear which direction we are meant to pursue.   In this episode, Nancy John, founder of Seed Leadership, discusses the values that help her operate and undergo the process of digging down deep to find her purpose, and in that hopes that others can find help following their compass as well.Faith plays a large part in giving her guidance through life, in that the idea of service and figuring out how she can uniquely position herself to serve others is one aspect she likes to base her actions on. Through focusing on the present rather than the possibilities of the future, she encourages us to see how their unique gifts fit into their big picture, and in that way we can figure out where we’re going in a way that still allows room for experience and enables us to follow our own compass.***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving us a short review? It takes less than 60 seconds, and could make a huge difference in spreading the word of these inspiring/courageous conversations. For information on how to join any of the upcoming, “Courageous Conversations”, please leave us a message via the “contact us” page on (https://www.overcomingodds.today/) Interested in sponsoring any of our upcoming events?

"Who Am I? What Am I?" | Roman Roberts

Brooke O'Neill

Voiceless. She said, “I grew up in an environment where I wasn’t necessarily allowed to be myself or wasn’t able to grow into who I truly was.” Many, if not most of us have times like these in our lives. She said, “I finally found the courage to tell my story a few years ago. I was at a family funeral. My adopted dad came up to me and was trying to confront me why our relationship wasn’t great… It was just not an appropriate time. But, growing up I would have sat there, been silent and just kind of taken the words in… Don’t speak my mind… But, this time there was something different.” This was a moment that made Brooke O’Neill take ownership of her story. A moment that allowed her to go from victim to victor of her past. A moment that helped shape her purpose, to Step Into Bravery, a process of acceptance, growth, and embracing bravery. Step into your own bravery and take ownership of your story. If you can stop comparing yourself to others and believe in who you are, and say “I am who I am.

The “Three Wins” | Diana Moshier

Aaron Parchem

He had three different names before he was three months old. He said, “The first name I ever had was Jeremy Jones… In the foster homes … I was Toby … Now my given name, Aaron Parchem…” For Aaron Parchem, silver medalist at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, adapting to new environments was not an option, but rather a necessity. It is a skill that not only helped Aaron Parchem during his early childhood years, but also during his time as a figure skater. He said, “In skating… when I tell people that I was a figure skater for the first time, you get kind of a blank look like, ‘Is this guy messing with me?’ … I’ve come to expect it and that is what it is … I don’t look like a figure skater … I didn't even when I did it … I am a straight, black male in skating… When you’re unique, you’re going to elicit unique responses…” Embracing his identity and surrounding himself with giving people were the only ways to break through some of the remarks Aaron had received along the way as a figure skater, a profession that has taught him life lessons that cannot be replaced. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, “Am I happy with who I have become?” EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:On Challenges: “People rise to the occasion when they’re challenged”On Empowerment: Live in the service of othersOn Support Groups: Find people who’ll support you no matter whatOn Self: Develop a good understanding of who you are on the inside (feelings, values, and tools that you can use to accomplish your goals)

He said, “In skating… when I tell people that I was a figure skater for the first time, you get kind of a blank look like, ‘Is this guy messing with me?’ … I’ve come to expect it and that is what it is … I don’t look like a figure skater … I didn't even when I did it … I am a straight, black male in skating… When you’re unique, you’re going to elicit unique responses…” Embracing his identity and surrounding himself with giving people were the only ways to break through some of the remarks Aaron had received along the way as a figure skater, a profession that has taught him life lessons that cannot be replaced. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, “Am I happy with who I have become?” EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: On Challenges: “People rise to the occasion when they’re challenged” On Empowerment: Live in the service of others On Support Groups: Find people who’ll support you no matter what On Self: Develop a good understanding of who you are on the inside (feelings, values, and tools that you can use to accomplish your goals)

Embrace Who You Are | Aaron Parchem

Holly Lysne

She felt unworthy. Shame, combined with lack of belonging, began to take over her life. A decision had to be made. It was either to find a way to overcome the obstacles in front of her or suffer for the rest of her life. As most of us can relate, it is moments like these that define who we are. Moments, filled with tragedy and pain that make us stop what we’re doing and reflect. For Holly Lysne, an adoptee from the Baby Scoop Era and avid journaler, the healing process was no different. She said, “I decided to fight back. I was not going to let that sense of shame win.” I asked, “How did you do it?” She said, “Mindfulness.” A practice through which you face your deepest and darkest emotions.A practice that will take you on a journey as you seek answers to questions such as, “What are my feelings? What are my emotions? And where do they stem from?”A practice that has helped Holly develop a different perspective on suffering and pain. A perspective, which made her realize that pain and suffering are temporary. Remember: nothing lasts forever.When life gets hard, know that a brighter day will follow!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:On Adoption: Listen to your heartOn Relationships: It’s always a work in progressOn Meditation: Take a walk in nature, find quiet time, focus on a single simple taskOn Pain: It’s temporaryOn Our Judgements of Others: They often reflect our own shortcomingsOn Developing Trust: Take it one day at a time

Abuse. An act he simply couldn’t escape during his early years. He said, “I grew up in a fear-filled, violent background.

Forgiveness | John Harrell

Rebekah Mallory

Born and abandoned. She said, “When I was found by the Ahmednagar police, I was severely malnourished, miasmic, and suffering from dysentery.” An event that’s difficult for most, if not all, of us to imagine. An event that first showed Rebekah Mallory what rejection and lack of belonging felt like. But, this wasn’t the only time Rebekah experienced rejection and lack of belonging. She said, “I was seven years old… I don’t remember what brought it on or what caused it, but one of my friends was making fun of me for being black… One of the first times I was aware that I was being humiliated for being different.” An instance that questioned her identity once again. But, it is an instance like this that made her stronger. An instance that made her realize how we should focus on our similarities rather that our differences. An instance that made Rebekah embrace who she was. Remember: Everyone has a story. Embrace it. Live yours. “As an adoptee, there is nothing more you need than other adoptees... who bring new perspectives to the table” EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:On Living Life: Look forward, not into the pastOn Rejection: Be aware that it may happenOn Community: Find people who care about youOn Connecting with Others: Don’t be afraid of abandonment and rejection***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving us a short review? It takes less than 60 seconds, and could make a huge difference in spreading the word of these inspiring/courageous conversations. For information on how to join any of the upcoming, “Courageous Conversations”, please leave us a message via the “contact us” page on (https://www.overcomingodds.today/) Interested in sponsoring any of our upcoming events?

Letting Go of Things That No Longer Serve You | Elorm Ahiamadjie

Adrian Collins

She couldn’t tell anyone. For five months, she sat alone, in her college dorm room, getting sick, not wanting others to know. She said, “When I was a junior in college, I found out that I was pregnant. I was at a strict religious school and at the time … it was definitely frowned upon… I always dreamed of being a mom one day, I just knew it wasn’t the time. I had no way of providing the kind of life I thought my baby deserved. I really wrestled with this decision of what to do, how to handle the situation and while I was thinking through that, I had to hide my pregnancy…” A decision had to be made. She said, “In the end, when I realized that I couldn’t give her everything she deserved, I went ahead and made an adoption plan for her … Leaving the hospital without my newborn was probably the single most hardest thing, I have ever done in my life … The loneliness that envelopes you, the doubts, the fears, the worries of not doing the right thing or not ruining someone’s life … But, I knew at the time that I loved her so much, that I wanted more for her than I could give …” For Adrian, doing the best she could with what she knew at the time was the only option.
