It was Rick's turn to interview Fatí and hear her awe-inspiring story of transformation.

She is a Life Design and Transformation Coach, a Podcast Host, a Fashion Designer, an Entrepreneur, and a single Mom of two. Her inspiring story is one of resilience, determination, and triumph over unimaginable adversity. Having lived on three continents, from Iran to Italy and now in New York City for the past 22 years, Fatí's life experiences have been extraordinary. From a young age, she has faced and conquered immense tragedies and challenges, which have shaped her into the impactful Coach she is today. Driven by a deep desire to help others break free from suffering and lead a life of fulfillment and purpose, Fatí transitioned from a career in Fashion Design to becoming a Life Coach. Her mission is to guide Coaches, Change Makers, and Impact-Driven Entrepreneurs to reach their boldest goals by unlocking their limitless potential, taking intentional and aligned action, and thriving in their relationships. Fatí connects uniquely with clients on a personal level, drawing from her own experiences to complement her extensive training, deep knowledge and understanding of human behavior. She believes in empowering people to transform their lives through a holistic approach that tackles all layers of being, and her clients walk away not only transformed but also as empowered authors and self-led leaders of their own lives, ready to make their own impact in the world.

In this episode, Fatí turned the mic around and interviewed her co-host Rick Ruppenthal, who has a powerful story.

Rick's journey began with a challenging upbringing, during which he spent years hiding, pretending, and being bullied. His journey of self-discovery began with a life-changing experience that set him on the path of self-development. That same path later gave him the tools to navigate and overcome a very difficult job loss, a cancer diagnosis, and his mother's departure, all in the same year. Rick's journey led him to become a principle-based coach with over 40 years of experience exploring the fundamental question of "Who am I?" As a self-proclaimed multi-potentialite, he brings a unique perspective to his coaching practice, understanding the challenges of having multiple interests and passions. Today, with his deep understanding of ontology and calming manner, he helps his clients break free from their limiting beliefs and concepts. But Rick's biggest passion is spending time with his family. For over 45 years, he has been married to his wonderful wife, and together they have raised four daughters and now have nine grandchildren to spoil. NOTE: The date of the workshop mentioned in the show was actually 1982.

Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park.

We all experience life's duality, and sometimes hitting rock bottom is necessary before we can turn things around.   

We must embrace the journey of both highs and lows, for in our darkest moments, we find the strength to rise, build resilience and discover true fulfillment and purpose.  

Today's show explores the experience of duality and how it can help in times of despair.  It dives into what it feels like to be stuck between two paths with no clear way forward.  You'll hear our personal stories of having had similar experiences and learn practical strategies for moving forward.

Breaking free from rock bottom takes courage, self-awareness and resilience. 

But Tearing these walls down is also one of the most transformational experiences one could have. One that will lead us to a future of new possibilities and living a truly empowered life.  

This week Fati and Rick will be joined by John Latta, who will share his powerful transformation journey, breaking free of rock bottom to thriving.

This one literally took our breathing to a whole new level!

Embracing the power of breath and meditation can bring healing to the wounds of trauma, allowing us to find peace within and reclaim our inner strength.  

This week we will be joined by Leland Holgate Sr., a combat veteran, and former paraplegic who is now studying to earn his double doctorate in neuroscience & psychology.

Inspired by these stunning results he went on to create The Welcome Home Method, a unique combination of intense breathing exercises and guided meditation.

Habits, whether good or bad, have the power to shape our lives. 

They dictate our routines, our thought patterns, and our behaviours. 

But what if we could break free from the chains of old habits and unleash our true potential?   

The process of breaking habits can be challenging, but it is also an opportunity for growth and self-discovery that has the power to unlock a new life…  

Join Fatí Light and Rick Ruppenthal as they explore this topic, and take a deep dive into how we can take a closer look and understand the root causes of our old habits and how we can change them.

A saying goes: “When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.”   

Well, today, when life gave us Bad Audio, we made the Best of the Situation and Pivoted in a New Direction.  

It was supposed to be a different show, with an awesome guest and a whole other conversation, so we were, to say the least, bummed. 😣  

But thankfully, we’ll be able to reschedule and still bring her on!😅🙏🏼  And so we moved on once our audio finally Fixed Itself 😳 and With an almost thirty-minute delay, Fatí turned to Rick stating, "I am going to challenge you!" (That’s so her! LOL)   

The Live Button was still there, and we just hit it and finally went Live!   

No Guest, no topic, unscripted, and in the moment (really walking our talk!) to see what conversation would be created.  

Admittedly we were not as calm and focused as we’d usually be, but we still jumped into the unknown, and the show went live.  

As the conversation unfolded, it became apparent that Confidence would be the "theme."  

Fatí and Rick spent the next remaining time exploring what and how confidence has shown up in their lives, using this Real-Time Experience to point to the Power of Pivoting.

We don’t usually have a choice when tragedy hits, and rock bottom can often feel like a place that we’ll never come back from. 

And at the same time, it is often the very place that leads us to create the greatest transformation in our lives…

We all experience Feeling “Triggered" to different degrees. 

While triggers can understandably have a negative connotation for us, they can also be very useful in uncovering aspects of ourselves on a deeper level.     

But what are they, and what is their role?  

Join us as we explore this topic, take a deep dive and reflect on how we can take charge and control our reactions and use triggers to learn from the information they deliver and create change from within.

Self-Worth and Self-Belief are related but distinct concepts that refer to how we view Ourselves and our Abilities and are essential for building Self-Confidence and overcoming Self-Doubt.

But it wasn’t always like that.  

Some people find rock bottom... 

Kevin discovered that rock bottom had a basement and was determined to turn things around.  

He believes in a "heart-driven but NO BS" approach to Holistic Self-Improvement that in his life has led him to now host a podcast that impacts hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world.  

The main thing that changed was HIM. He focused on learning what he didn't know (unlearning a lot, too), and his life started to shift.
