009: Step Into Your Promise with Dr. Daniel Pompa

“Just change one dynamic in your life and watch how your life multiply so quickly.” —Dave Sanderson

Dave Sanderson was just another passenger on US Airways Flight 1549 until everything changed in an instant. As the engines sputtered out after striking a flock of birds, the pilots attempted an unthinkable water landing in the icy Hudson River.

In those terrifying final moments, Dave found himself plunged into a fight for survival. Trapped inside the sinking fuselage, frigid water rapidly rising, escape seemed impossible. Above the chaos, rescuers screamed for him to get out— but how? With hypothermia setting in, Dave's endurance would be tested to the extreme.

Listen in as Dave shares how he survived the Hudson plane crash in 2009. He also details his life leading up to the crash, the profound life lessons he learned about being less judgmental of others and focusing less on always needing to be right, how teamwork controls the chaos, rediscovering his life's purpose, how letting go of ego is key to making a positive difference in the world.

"You're worthy and deserving of all spheres of wealth. It doesn't matter where you are right now, your life can change." -Daniel Gomez

Money is a powerful tool. It can be used for good or for bad, and it can make us feel either loved or lonely. But we often forget that our relationship with it reflects how we relate to ourselves.

Many people have an unhealthy relationship with money because they don't know what wealth means. They think that wealth is measured in material possessions like cars and houses, but being wealthy goes beyond that. 

In this episode, Award-Winning Keynote Speaker, Business Coach, and The Makings of a Millionaire Mind author, Daniel Gomez helps us understand wealth as to what it truly means. Listen in as Dr. Fred and Daniel talk about the 5 spheres of wealth, how we can improve our relationship with money, how our relationship with others influence our wealth, how we can transform our scar of regret to a scar of grace, how we can get rid of excuses, and why we should learn to surrender to God's will for us.

“There are no guarantees. I never want to be that person who's going to wait until retirement to do the things that I want to do.” —Julie Ann Mercouris

In the vulnerable years of childhood, traumas can sneak in like unwelcome guests, leaving indelible imprints on a child's psyche. Tragically, these experiences can cause children to feel responsible for their parents' struggles, and they may alter their behavior in a desperate attempt to feel loved. They unwittingly step into the shoes of a caregiver, shouldering far more responsibility than they should at such an age.

Healing these childhood traumas is a transformative process. It allows the victims to break free from the chains of their past, transitioning from merely surviving to living with purpose. Ultimately, with proper intervention and emotional healing, children can reclaim their lost innocence. 

In this episode, we hear from Transformational Coach, Julie Ann Mercouris how healing childhood trauma looked like for her. Dr. Fred and Julie also discuss how childhood dramas cause children to engage in emotional outsourcing, why we should look beyond what the eyes can see, why preparedness is an important step in the healing process, how to find your purpose in uncomfortable situations, and how to awaken the part of you that you think has died.

"Life is unfolding for us. We just need to listen to the signposts on the journey.” —Dr. Sukhi Muke

Sometimes, we reach a point where we get beyond exhausted. That lowest of lows that others talk about leads us to a dark corner where the only exit we see is a dead end. We crave a sense of direction and purpose, but we see no way out. 

But, whether you are looking for that spark to help you start your own healing journey or guidance to help you in realigning with your life’s mission, this episode is for you! 

This week, Dr. Sukhi Muker joins us in a heartwarming conversation about finding purpose in our pain. Listen in as Dr. Fred and Dr. Sukhi talk about how being parented vs being peerented impacts the development of an individual, the importance of removing yourself from an environment that is not serving you anymore, and how to build yourself up to be of service to others. They also discuss the power of unconditional love in transforming another person, how to be a fuller human, and what it means to be the gardener of your own purpose.

“Whatever comes to you, that's coming for a reason. So that means you have what you need inside… Healing is always possible.” —Molly Rose Holmes

We all want to be the best we can be. We want to embrace our unique talents and use them to make the world a better place. But sometimes, when we're trying to do this in the face of trauma, grief, and loss, it can feel like we're standing still— or even going backward.

Therefore, we have to break these generational patterns. When we do, we will find healing so we can move forward with confidence, rather than being stuck in old ways of thinking and behaviors that aren't serving us anymore.

In this episode, Fred and Molly continue the conversation about breaking these generational curses while unlocking our consciousness along the way. They also talk about how gifts can be inherited, why heed our intuition, how love heals grief and loss, how discernment affects our level of awareness, and how our children benefit when we break these curses now.

 “There's no bigger panic than not knowing if you can take the next breath.” 

Sometimes, medications can make us think we're getting healthier. But is it possible to overmedicate ourselves into sickness? 

Overmedication or taking medication that is not necessary can lead to adverse side effects and even worsen the condition being treated. Overmedication can also suppress the body's natural defense mechanisms, which can cause our immunity to be weakened and put us at risk of infection, heart attack, stroke, and addiction.

This week, Dr. Doug Disiena joins us to share the other aspects of chiropractic healthcare that we may have overlooked in the past. Fred and Doug also discuss how trauma and emotional factors can influence our health choices, the root of every disease, the foundation of every organ in our body. how practitioners can set their patients up for a great healing experience, how our beliefs can affect our health journey, and finally, how we can be advocates for our health and that of our family.

"We can heal this stuff and our children don't have to suffer from the same things. Our inner children can be healed, and we can be free." —Molly Rose Holmes

Generational trauma is the transmission of unresolved intergenerational experiences of adversity from one generation to the next. It is an inherited form of trauma, and its symptoms can manifest both mentally and physically, such as anxiety, depression, impaired emotional regulation and difficulty in forming deep, healthy relationships. It's essential to acknowledge that even if we didn't directly experience these traumas, we may still be affected by them, and it's important to find ways to heal this trauma. 

Every family and generation is affected by trauma to some degree. But by taking steps to heal trauma and build resilience, we can break the cycle, helping to create healthier and more positive environments for the generations yet to come.

In this episode, we are joined by Molly Rose Holmes for the second time to talk about how we can identify and break generational patterns. Dr. Fred and Molly also discuss how we become conditioned by limiting beliefs, why we need to look deep into our family roles, how to turn triggers into opportunities for healing, how we can access our purpose, and how we can help others find healing too.

“We're all on death row without the saving grace of God and His Son, Jesus Christ.-Peter Cropsey

Abuse breaks a kid in ways that are hard to undo. It distorts his view of himself and the world, and it can make him feel like he's worth less than everyone else. They may grow up thinking that they'll never be able to do anything right or feel good enough on their own. 

Peter Cropsey was led by people he trusted into doors that no child should ever have to see. Rather than enjoying a fun play at the park, he was introduced to a nudist camp. Rather than eating a piece of candy, he was given drugs. Rather than drinking milk before bed, he had his first taste of alcohol. Rather than going to school, he was making deals with addicts and criminals. And the saddest part was when he finally realized how broken he was. But his life is not unrepairable. 

In this episode, Peter leads us back into his childhood and the dark truths he and others like him had to go through at a very young age. He shares how he has overcome a lack of self-worth, abuse, violence, broken relationships, and loss. Fred and Peter also talked about finding grace and love in God, cultivating faith, the benefits of treating people with kindness and dignity, and rebuilding a broken self-image after the pain and trauma.

“You were created in the image of God, the God that created the entire universe. And so by default, you are incredible.” -M. Curtis McCoy

If you're like many people who have experienced abuse, you may have lost faith in yourself and in the world around you. Abuse can leave victims feeling broken, lost, and alone. It can be hard to imagine a life beyond the abuse, but it is possible to heal and rebuild your life. It will take time, patience, and courage, but it is possible to regain your faith, self-love, and self-esteem.

M. Curtis McCoy still remembers his father’s words while handing him a gun: “Do the world a favor”. Those words hurt more than the physical abuse he suffered throughout his childhood. He couldn’t understand why his own father would want him dead. But instead of giving up, he decided to be different— to be a good person. Today, Curtis is “doing the world a favor” by serving others as an entrepreneur, influencer, keynote speaker, best-selling author, & TV show host. 

Listen in as Dr. Fred and Curtis share how we can turn our painful past into a testimony of victory. They also discuss how we can find strength when we feel like we’re only hanging by a thread, why we should not give up easily when other people tell us that there is no hope left for us, how we can recognize God’s hand when we are in the dark, and the greatest evidence that we have inherent worth and value.
