Lynn Robinson: Mastering The Inner Game Of Intuition Aging With Purpose And Passion podcast

26:59

What happens when trauma gets buried for fifteen years? Kim Langling's powerful journey from military sexual assault survivor to advocate and author shows us both the cost of silence and the liberation that comes with breaking it. Kim never planned to join the military when she was growing up in small-town America, but with limited options and no interest in college, she enlisted and quickly found herself thriving in military intelligence. Her life changed forever when she was sexually assaulted during her service. The aftermath brought not just personal trauma, but institutional betrayal as she faced what she describes as punishment for reporting her assault. The next fifteen years saw Kim burying her experience, determined to be "strong" by never showing what she perceived as weakness. It wasn't until a perfect storm of personal losses—divorce, death, and a friend's suicide—brought her literally to her knees in what she now recognizes as a severe panic attack. This breakdown became her breakthrough, beginning a spiritual awakening that ultimately led to healing. With the reluctant help of Vietnam veterans who recognized her symptoms and "dragged her kicking and screaming" to the VA, Kim began confronting her past. Though the VA had no programs for female veterans who'd experienced sexual assault at that time, this first step eventually led to writing books, hosting her "Let Fear Bounce" podcast, and becoming an advocate for others. The most powerful moment in Kim's story comes when she describes an 81-year-old woman who approached her after a talk, revealing she had carried similar trauma silently for 70 years. This heartbreaking revelation underscores why Kim now shares her story: "When you share, you find peace and help others do the same." Are you carrying unspoken burdens? Kim's advice resonates with beautiful simplicity: "Look in the mirror and remind yourself that you're standing there. That means you have a 100% success rate of getting through the tough stuff."

After losing David, Caren channeled her grief into action—selling their home, letting go of possessions, and moving across the country to pursue dreams she’d long deferred, honoring his legacy by living boldly. Finding Purpose After Loss Caren’s philosophy of seeking “blessings in disguise” offers hope to anyone navigating life after loss. “When I choose to see the blessings, more keep coming,” she reflects.

Veterans, Purpose, and the Power of Service: Inspiring Women Over 50 31:25

hace 30 días31:25

Shelia Schneider's journey from military spouse to nonprofit leader reveals how our life experiences perfectly prepare us for unexpected purpose. Raised in a family where all nine siblings had military connections and later marrying an Air Force serviceman, Shelia intimately understood the challenges military families face—frequent relocations, year-long separations, and the struggle to maintain career continuity while supporting a service member. Her professional path was anything but linear. From making biscuits at Hardee's to wearing hard hats in food processing plants to becoming a university professor, each seemingly disconnected experience built the perfect foundation for her current role as Executive Director of the Kaufman Fund. What began as volunteer work alphabetizing registration lists evolved into leadership of a vital veterans' support organization that helps 2,000 former service members annually. The Kaufman Fund addresses critical gaps in veteran support through eight innovative programs. Their dental initiative tackles a shocking reality—only 4.5% of veterans qualify for dental care through the VA. Their mental health program uniquely extends to family members who share in the trauma but are excluded from VA services. From distributing winter coats to homeless veterans to providing emergency legal assistance, their comprehensive approach creates immediate relief while building dignity. Shelia's advice for finding purpose resonates regardless of age or circumstance: "Look in your backyard. What is it in your community that you see needs help?" She emphasizes that purpose often begins with small contributions—even volunteering just a few hours monthly can create ripple effects of positive change. Her journey from Girl Scout leader to nonprofit executive demonstrates how starting with one small act of service can evolve into meaningful impact that transforms both the lives you touch and your own sense of purpose.

Rebuilding After Loss: Dr. Kimberly Harm's Journey From Survival to Purpose 25:47

hace 5 weeks25:47

25:47

What does it take to rebuild your life after unimaginable tragedy? Dr. Kimberly Harms knows this journey intimately. Born as a thalidomide baby with seven fingers, she defied an advisor who told her dental school was impossible, going on to become the first female president of the Minnesota Dental Association. But her greatest challenges came later – losing her mother to suicide, then facing her son Eric's suicide at just 19 years old. The moment that transformed her grief journey came unexpectedly in a parking lot, when someone confronted her about how her suffering was affecting her remaining children. This wake-up call sparked her determination to "kick and scream and fight" her way out of the grief pit – not just for herself, but for everyone who loved her. Dr. Harms shares practical wisdom from managing her dental practice through tragedy, including creating "crying rooms" and systems to help team members support each other through crisis. But perhaps most profound were the lessons she learned while establishing 65 libraries across Rwanda in her son's memory. There, genocide survivors who had lost everything taught her about true forgiveness – not forgetting, but choosing to build something new from devastation. This conversation offers rare insight into how someone moves forward when life divides into "before" and "after." Dr. Harms doesn't sugarcoat the difficulty of this journey, emphasizing that finding joy again requires active fighting against negative self-talk and shame. Yet her message radiates hope: no matter what tragedy has occurred, love and joy remain possible if we're willing to fight for them. Ready to transform your own challenges into purpose?
