Thank you for visiting the Raw & Real with TLC Podcast. Most of us walk around this planet pretending we are "okay" or "fine" when we are not. Most of us can be in a room full of people we know and still feel so lonely. The beautiful humans on this podcast are raw and real with their emotional truth and like me, would like to offer you some TLC (The Luzama Connection). Together we can return to balancing our "being" with our "doing" through the wisdom of our hearts. You are never alone. Do you see yourself here?

MIKE'S INFORMATION
Website (https://www.mmalamed.com/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/michael.malamed.35) Email: michaelmalamed@gmail.com. (mailto:michaelmalamed@gmail.com)
Mike went from working on Wall Street for over 25 years to becoming a Recovery Coach & Spiritual Ambassador.
His certifications: Yoga of 12-Step Recovery, Levin Life Coach, Hatha, Kundalini, Chair Yoga & Yogic Breathwork. He works at First Brokers Securities, Corporate Bond Broker
We discussed overcoming addiction, finding emotional sobriety through self-awareness, mindfulness and grief recovery. Mike shares his journey of recovery from addiction, which spans 16 years, and contrasts his past life—characterized by excess and lack of responsibility in the 80s and 90s—with his current, grounded approach to living "one day at a time."
KEY takeaway is that one cannot change the future without changing the present moment
The Role of Ego and Fear: Living in fear often leads to numbing behaviors (like substance use or workaholism). We explore the necessity of balancing the ego and the soul rather than trying to destroy the ego entirely.
Mindfulness and Practice Both Mike and I emphasize that meditation and prayer are not about "quieting the mind" but rather bringing subconscious patterns into consciousness so they can be released . This process is a practice, not a state of perfection .

Cardiovascular DIS-ease is the number one cause of death in women in the United States according the "Go Red" organization (part of the American Heart Association).
Grief is an unaddressed public health issue especially for women.
The Grief Recovery Method program helps women with unresolved, conflicting feelings around loss (including loss of childhood & emotional neglect) the opportunity to delivered those uncomfortable and shame based communications that may have been shamed or forbidden to share with others in their lives.
Who better to talk about the Grief Recovery Method than one of the original trainers (and my personal Grief Specialist) from the Grief Recovery Institute?
Lois Hall uses her training as a Public Health Advocate (she is the reason why the Rye Syndrome warning is on your Aspirin) and Grief Recovery (super) Specialist and Trainer to help with hurting hearts one human at a time.
