Kidnapped by his father at 3, then orphaned, and yet, STILL MAKING A DIFFERENCE | Ed Hajim | Hilary Burns | S4EP5
I could not put down either of Ed Hajim's books, "On the Road Less Traveled," and "the Island of the Four P's." Ed's story can not be put into words and yet, Ed did. His father kidnapped him, told him his mother was dead, and then left him with neighbors. He was in the foster care system, orphanages, and left alone for a month at the age of 11.
Here's the amazing part. Ed did not get bitter. He used his experiences to develop resilience and adaptability which served him for the rest of his life. That together with his "absent" father's unconditional love and positive reinforcement kept him headed towards success.
Ed had a dream to be successful, create a loving family and help people be better than they think they can be. His career will impress and astound you. His generosity will inspire you.
I believe we can all learn from Ed's story and wisdom. He is now helping 17 to 25 year olds learn how to make decisions and design their lives with his new course. Thank you, Ed, for the amazing person you are and please thank Barbara for chasing after you and being your P1 for life.

S4E05 Power Hour TV Show - Reflecting on YOUR Inner Strength!
The courage to be vulnerable empowers you to face life’s challenges with an open heart!” Sanet Van Breda.
Vulnerability is a profound aspect of the human experience, encompassing both the exposure to potential harm and the capacity for deep emotional connection. It is the state of being open to emotional wounds, where one's fears, insecurities, and desires are laid bare. Embracing vulnerability means allowing oneself to feel deeply, to face the raw and sometimes painful emotions that come with authenticity and openness.
In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren Berlin, a Parent Success Catalyst who empowers caregivers to lead with intention, connection, and calm. We explore the principles of mindful parenting—what it really means to show up with presence, regulate our own emotions, and create meaningful relationships with our children. Lauren shares practical strategies, personal stories, and deep insights that will resonate with any parent striving to nurture their child while staying grounded themselves. Whether you're in the thick of toddlerhood or navigating the teen years, this conversation is full of wisdom and encouragement.
