Well, friends. In this episode, I get really into the guts of something that paints me out to be a complete jerk. Sometimes I wonder how God even stands me, let alone how I can stand myself. Let's just say I'm thankful for His grace and mercy, as well as my husband's. If you are someone suffering an addiction of ANY kind, whether gambling, porn, alcohol, drugs, food, video games, smoking, shopping, etc., and you've lied to someone you love, this is the episode for you.

Have you ever faced the sting of unmet goals or the rollercoaster ride of quitting a stubborn habit? Walk with me through the highs and lows of my personal quest this past year, from the weight loss ambitions that didn't quite pan out to the smoke-filled battlefields I've finally conquered. This episode isn't just a confession booth—it's a raw and honest exploration of the challenges we all face when trying to change our lives. We'll unravel the complexities of setting too many goals, the potential pitfalls of overambition, and the power of pivoting to a more incremental, sustainable approach to personal transformation.

As the smoke clears on my year-long endeavor to quit smoking, I lay bare the gritty details of this journey, including the false starts with vaping and the inspirational 'Stoptober' challenge that ultimately led to my victory over nicotine. It's a story of persistence, of finding what works through trial and error, and of the unanticipated allies and strategies that emerge along the way. I'm reaching out a hand to anyone grappling with their own hurdles, offering a message of solidarity and a reminder that your support network is just a tweet or DM away. Tune in for an episode brimming with vulnerability, triumph, and a roadmap for tackling your own goals in the year ahead.

In episode we're taking a closer look at a topic that's as timely as it is personal. 
Inspired by the recent news of Snoop Dogg turning away from marijuana, a substance synonymous with his public persona, lets into the deeper conversation about the impacts and implications of weed on our lives.

As I stand just three days shy of a full year without weed, I open up about my own journey – from my teenage years and into my twenties, grappling with weed addiction.

This episode isn't just about sharing stories; it's an intimate reflection on the struggles, the revelations, and the life-altering benefits of quitting.

Beyond the physical and mental transformations, this journey has been significantly spiritual. I'll discuss how God's conviction in my spirit played a pivotal role in this journey, leading me toward a path of clarity and renewed purpose.

Whether you're contemplating a similar change, seeking insight into the benefits of a weed-free life, or simply curious about how a high-profile figure like Snoop Dogg could make such a significant lifestyle change, this episode promises a blend of personal testimony, informed discussion, and spiritual insight.

Join me as we explore this complex and crucial topic, and discover why quitting might just be the opening to a more fulfilling, spiritually aligned life.

IGNITE THE WORLD

Hypnotherapy is a promising solution to nicotine addiction and the Stop Smoking Workshop may enable one to permanently be a non-smoker.

“I sat in Liza’s class not necessarily ready to quit smoking for good, but when I left, I had no desire to smoke. I had smoked for over 30 years and don’t know how, but it worked! I have been a nonsmoker since 2001.”

– Jim, a former smoker

Have you struggled to quit smoking despite numerous attempts and various methods? If so, you’re not alone. Nicotine addiction can be incredibly challenging to overcome, but there’s a promising solution you may not have considered: hypnotherapy.

This episode is all about self-care, and not only the obvious forms of self-care like skincare, following a healthy nutritious diet or working out regularly. Of course, taking care of your body, eating healthy, moving and meditating are huge ingredients of self-care, but there is a much more profound sense of self-care that includes things like integrity, choosing yourself, protecting your mental health, respecting your own boundaries and honoring your Highest Self.

Welcome to season 2, episode 37 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.

This week my guest is Irakli Kakauridze, Tobacco Programs Supervisor for Tobacco-Free for a Healthy NJ.

During this episode Irakli shares about his family coming to the U.S. from the country of Georgia. We discuss why he decided to go into public health and advocacy. He is currently enrolled in a Doctorate of Health Sciences program with a concentration in health management and administration.

In his current role he manages youth prevention programs and leads a network of coordinated activities to decrease youth access to tobacco products, reduce exposure to second-hand smoke and to help those who smoke or vape stop. 

Tobacco-Free for a Healthy NJ has many important resources and programs that are free to residents of NJ. If you are outside of the state and need support reach out and ask for recommendations. For a complete list of all the programs that are offered go to Home | Tobacco Free NJ.

Here are just a few resources for those who need support:
Text vapefreenj to 88709 for an easy to use and anonymous support system
NJ Quitline is free, confidential, and multilingual: 1-866-NJ-STOPS

Irakli shares a quote he had heard Kobe Bryant say on an interview about not negotiating with yourself when it comes to staying disciplined to reach your goals. This is a very important message and part of the interview!

Listen in to hear the footprint that Irakli is creating now that he wants to leave behind.

Next week my guest is Sally Glick, Principal and Chief Growth Strategist, SobelCo. Sally is a master connector and has been networking since working for her dad in Chicago many years ago.  She works with many not-for-profits in her role with SobelCo and is called on to speak at many events. She is all about adding value where she goes shares that the more that you give, the more you get by pure chance. It isn't about coming from ego. It is about coming from a place of kindness.

Being kind to others has a ripple effect and makes you an everyday changemaker.

When you think of hypnosis what do you envisage… a man dressed in a tucks up on stage with a pendulum swinging side to side and his patient in a trance? With a sinister intent! Well, this is how Hollywood may portray a hypnotherapist however it is far from the truth as I learned from interviewing hypnotherapist Kobe Gowland. In this episode Kobe shares the truth around hypnosis and addresses the following questions you may be thinking:

• What is it and what is it useful for?
• How it works!
• Who can benefit from this therapy!
• Client success stories and much much more!
