Voices of Courage - Episode 081: The Courage to Become More Courageous, Resilient, and Compassionate with Susie Carder and Dr. Ken Druck

 

Today we discuss achieving exponential growth, creating financial abundance, and summoning newfound courage in every season of life.

 

Do you remember when you were young, filled with energy, resilience, and the power to conquer the world? But then life happened and multiple things took place that knocked you off course. You were then overcome with feelings of pessimism, procrastination, and self-doubt.

Somewhere along the way, you lost your direction and drive, but there is a way to break free. When achieving mental, emotional, and spiritual independence, the obstacles are always inside. So, in order to break free, we must start with our minds and acknowledge the thoughts and habits that are keeping us stuck.

My first guest, Susie Carder, is a globally recognized profitability coach and inventor of the Predictable Success Method™ that has helped thousands of entrepreneurs and small business owners achieve exponential growth and triple their profits. 

She joins me today to share how anything is possible with a game plan and discusses what it takes to shift our consciousness and change our mindset in order to live our dreams and create financial abundance.

My second guest, Dr. Ken Druck, is an international authority on healthy aging and author of the new book “Raising an Aging Parent” who has spent four decades helping people grow into the more courageous, compassionate, and resilient version of themselves.

He joins me today to discusses caring for and coping with the challenges of aging parents, healing after a profound loss of a loved one, and leaving a legacy of love for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

 

We Discuss:

  • Raising our consciousness and wisdom in order to overcome the obstacles in our lives
  • Creating a personal mission and determining the impact we want to make in the world
  • Quieting our minds to become fully aware of the limiting beliefs that are holding us back
  • Why anything can be made possible with the right ‘game plan’ and strategies in place
  • How we can surround ourselves with the right environment and people to create success
  • The most significant parallels between raising children and raising aging parents
  • Why a “Self-Care Checklist” is essential for those of us that are caring for an aging parent
  • How people can begin to heal after the profound traumatic loss of a loved one in their lives

“If we try to over control anybody, whether it’s our kids or teenagers or aging parents, we get an oppositional defiant response. We get that resistance, rather than extending an invitation to help, making it safe for our parents to open up with us and to tell us what weighs most heavily on their hearts – what they really need help and support with. It’s not only about changes and challenges and losses, it’s about what they want the rest of their lives to be, how we can play a part in that.” — Dr. Ken Druck
