What are the benefits of social media?  A lot of people will say not a whole lot.  That social media is indulgent, vapid and doesn’t provide much value to society.  That they have better things to do than scroll feeds and like images.

I get asked a lot what the secret to motivation is and its importance.  The truth is, motivation is different for everyone, but there’s one common thread I’ve noticed most every successful individual ties to it.  Inspiration. Today on the show I’m joined by author and podcaster Scott Kujak. The subject of motivation comes up several times throughout our discussion and with good reason.  It’s the inspiration he’s gained by observing those he’s loved in the very trenches of adversity that fuels his own motivation today. By the end of our conversation, you’ll be challenged to look at your own experiences differently, as well as those around you.  By doing so, you’ll be able to harness this inspiration as fuel for your own personal growth.     Episode Highlights: Scott's experience growing up in an emotionally abusive household. (01:43) How Scott used team sports to cope with his childhood environment (02:43) How his college experience at TCU helped Scott social skills by recognizing both diversity and adversity

On today’s show, I had the pleasure of speaking with Shirin Peykar.  Shirin is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in Young Adults (18-40), Women's Issues, Mindful Parenting, Couples Therapy and Divorce. She is also the Founder of the "Let's Talk Divorce" Support Group. Shirin was a go-getter from a very young age and put herself through college with aspirations for a career in psychology.  Shortly after graduating, she fell in love, but the love she felt in return didn’t feel quite right.

Our conversation navigates between our shared experiences with emotional abuse, what part each partner plays in a failed relationship, rebuilding our own self-confidence, and how to make the most of finding a way... or making a new one after a relationship doesn’t work out.
