You can hear the whole show right here! It was AWESOME!
D.J. Chang, joined us to talk about her new book, First Mistake: Facing Death, Finding Life, a love story about defying the odds (even certain death) and a spiritual memoir about the search for identity, partnership, and the meaning of life. This is an inspiring story of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, as we trek along with D.J. from a place of dark despair into the light of hope and miracles. All the while, there is a thread of hope that runs through this narration of her journey, as we are privy to her inner-most thoughts while she begins to open her eyes to who she truly is and we come to see that she will do great things with her life beyond the conclusion of the book. This is, not only a wonderful story about this strong woman, but it inspires us to open up to our own true selves. You can find out more about her book and purchase it on Amazon.
D.J. Chang also spoke about how her journey has led her to follow her dreams and start her own company Equity Incites, with a mission to: Provide consulting services for developing or resource challenged social purpose organizations in communication, business & economic development, product development, marketing, learning and development, and psychology; Enhance the independence of the mobility impaired; Produce eco-friendly bioplastic alternatives for petroleum-based plastic products; and Develop new “green economy” jobs in Appalachia and the Sierra Nevadas.

Dr. Karen Olson and Dr. Mara in August 2016.
And Dr. Mara on the children still separated from their parents at the border. An Update on the psychological effects for the long-term. If you want to do something to help, there are many organizations that are working to try to help these families reunite. You can participate or donate. Here is one such organization: Immigrant Families Together.

Related to this discussion, Dr. Mara gave us another sneak peek into her new book, The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality & Joy at Any Age, by talking about Chapter 8: Staying Positive In Spite of the Bad News. Some of the tips: don’t numb yourself from the pain of negative news; find meaning in the adversity by being the change you’d like to see in the world (to paraphrase Gandhi) by: being kind, volunteering, donating, voting; take breaks from technology; and don’t waste energy with pointless social media debates.
Her book is now available (and ON SALE) on Kindle…and launching to soft-cover beginning September 10! http://bit.ly/ThePassionateLife
