  • E66 - Jack "PapaJack" Gindi - Shining Light Parent Founder, I Believe In Me Foundation Creator, Believe Become Be You
    Jack Gindi – “PapaJack”Founder, I Believe In Me Foundation | Creator, Believe. Become. Be You. | Real Estate Entrepreneur & PhilanthropistJack Gindi, known affectionately as “PapaJack,” is a lifelong entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist who has turned decades of personal triumphs and setbacks into a mission of empowerment for families worldwide.After building and managing more than half a billion dollars in real-estate transactions—and overcoming bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis—Jack discovered that true wealth isn’t measured in square footage or balance sheets, but in connection, belief, and purpose. That revelation became the foundation of his life’s work.He is the creator of the “I Believe In Me” (IBIM) online course and the “Believe, Become, Be You” (BBBY) movement—transformational programs that teach emotional intelligence, belief, and daily aligned action to parents, teens, and young adults. Jack’s framework, known as the Four Pillars of Life—Body, Being, Balance, and Business— helps families map their dreams and live intentionally through what he calls “Life Mapping.”Through the I Believe In Me Foundation, Jack ensures that every child, regardless of financial means, can access tools to build confidence and resilience. His “no child turned away” model allows those who can afford to give to sponsor those who cannot—creating a cycle of belief and giving that echoes his lifelong philosophy: “We rise by lifting others.”Rooted deeply in family and legacy, Jack’s journey is also shaped by the profound loss of his son Shaun, whose vision of helping kids believe in themselves continues to guide every step of Jack’s work. Whether he’s speaking on podcasts, hosting events, or mentoring young leaders, Jack’s presence is authentic, heart-driven, and filled with the wisdom of lived experience.Today, PapaJack is on a mission to bring emotional intelligence and belief-based living into homes, schools, and communities—one story, one family, one conversation at a time.Jack's links: Book time to meet with mehttps://ibelieveinmefoundation.com/https://believebecomebeyou.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jack.gindi.90https://www.facebook.com/believebecomebeyoupapajack/https://www.instagram.com/believebecomebeyouhttps://www.tiktok.com/@papajackgindihttps://www.youtube.com/@believebecomebeyou========================================Please consider supporting the podcast here:

  • About Reshma: I’m a mom, a widow, and someone who knows the heart-wrenching pain of unexpected loss. In 2022, my husband died by suicide. In an instant, I became a solo parent responsible for 3 grieving children. This would be my hardest role yet.Our loss was unfathomable and I understand firsthand the deep questions, the uncertainty, and the overwhelming struggle to keep going. But through my journey, I’ve discovered that healing is possible, even when it feels impossible, and I’m here to help you find your way through it.In the midst of uncertainty, I turned to what I already knew: mindfulness. My children and I began practicing mindfulness many years ago, before my husband passed away, but I didn’t fully understand its depth until I needed it the most. It’s helped me stay grounded through the chaos of grief, find light in times of darkness, and build resilience as I faced parenting and life’s demands. Mindfulness has allowed me to honor my emotions, support my children through their own struggles, and rediscover moments of joy during the hardest times.In addition to my personal experience with grief, healing, and mindful parenting, I hold a Master’s degree in Public Health and am a yoga teacher— trauma-informed and kid-certified. These qualifications, combined with my lived experiences, guide my work and allow me to offer practical tools to help you feel more present, resilient, and connected on your journey. Welcome Home!

  • E64 - Hannah Rae - Life/Grief Coach, 'Rewild You' podcast host, writer
    Hannah's Bio: Hi, I’m Hannah—a coach, writer, and lover of wild places.My work is for people who want to reconnect with their whole and wild selves. I weave modern science, resilience psychology, and ancient wisdom to help you navigate life’s challenges and create your own path to aliveness.Once upon a time, I was a type-A doer—always hustling, always striving. My background is in engineering, endurance sports, and big adventures. I was all forward momentum and high-functioning control.But the year I turned 30, a wave of deep personal loss cracked my world open. The grief shattered my old definitions of success, and I was forced to rebuild my life from the inside out. I began unlearning the parts of me that were built for survival instead of wholeness. And I slowly returned to the wisdom of my body, the power of story, and the steady rhythm of my innate nature.Fast forward to nowI guide others through that same wilderness of uncertainty, suffering and the unknown—through coaching, writing, conversation, and time outdoors.I don’t promise quick fixes. I offer depth, presence, compassion and practical tools for navigating the very real challenges of being human.Hannah's website: https://www.hannahrae.nz/Rewild You podcast: https://www.hannahrae.nz/podcast========================================Please consider supporting the podcast here: https://buymeacoffee.com/heroesingriefNEW!!!
