THIS IS PERSONAL: Rewinding a Life with Dan Simon

By: Dan Simon
  • Summary

  • "This is Personal" looks at the intimate details of a person's life through appreciative inquiry. We delve deep to find out how they got to this singular point in their lives. What are the events, the stories that influenced how their life has worked out? Have they used their past as a weapon or as a gift? By allowing a guest to share their story authentically, we gain both compassion and inspiration from their struggles and successes. And hopefully insight on what we might become as well.

  • Leslie Kenny--- "The power of role models"
    Jun 22 2021

    Leslie Kenny was given a terminal diagnosis when she was 39. In this episode, we hear how she rejected her Doctor's opinion and figured out how to heal herself with diet and lifestyle changes. Leslie talks at length about the role model her grandparents on both sides -- the Taiwanese side and the American side-- and how she responded to a series of life challenges. From moving to Zurich to become a Swiss banker, then to Harvard Business School, then to Hong Kong to work for Walt Disney Studios. She later started one of the first online dating platforms in China and India. All presented their own very unique challenges, as she explains.
    And then we learn how she became a biohacker extraordinaire to heal herself after she was given less than 5 years to live. Then launched her own company, Oxford Healthspan, to bring a transformational product called Primeadine into the marketplace. The product has anti-aging properties affecting 6 of the 9 pillars of aging. So if you want to learn how to turn back your biological clock, tune into today's show. Leslie demonstrated a wonderful example of taking full responsibility for her health and her life, despite rather significant adversity. As her grandparents were a great example for her, in turn she is passing on her attitude and passion to another generation in a very powerful way through her health coaching and Oxford Healthspan.

  • Jennifer Sokolov: Finding her own path, energy medicine & shamanism
    Apr 6 2020

    Jennifer learned very early in life if she didn't get on the path(her path), that her life would not have meaning. She also talks about how she came to the planet with aesthetic, psychic & perceptual sensitivities that led to an exploration of the healing arts and how she performs her work. As she helps people to align their head, heart & gut; the body will heal itself. In her visit to the Modern Elder Academy, in Baja, Mx. last year Jennifer realized that she had built a very nice house, but forgot to turn the lights on. She talks about the impact that Janis Nakano Spivack had on her becoming more spontaneous, organic. And how the experience of being human is always relational, never solitary.

    Mar 9 2020


    Back in Episode 8, Leora Hoffman made her first guest appearance. And we learned how Leora transformed her career from being a government lawyer into a matchmaker. In today's episode, we discuss Leora's new book, "Catch Me a Catch" which describes in fascinating and personal detail her own life, family and relationship challenges. And how her own life informed her abilities to create "love matches". As she states in her book, "The romantic in me continues to put people together, to take a risk, and to learn from each interaction whether positive or negative. Every day, I count my blessings, cross my fingers, put one foot in front of the other and ask the universe to deliver." There are many wise lessons to learn from today's podcast whether you are in a loving relationship currently or seek to manifest a new love connection in your life. Enjoy today's show.
