    A Birthday Wish: Use the Day. Choose Love. (And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever)
    Apr 24 2026
    At the time of this recording, Tuesday, April 21, 2026: Today is my 55th birthday… and instead of fearing age or looking back with regret, I’m choosing to use the day.In this solo episode, I reflect on a lifelong pattern I didn’t even realize I was building—choosing love over fear and judgment, one moment at a time. It didn't happen overnight. In fact, it happened because of and through a lot of pain, darkness, and shame.From childhood experiences… to years of living from the ego and trying to prove my worth… to recovery, healing, and rediscovering the truth of who I am—this episode is an invitation.An invitation to reflect on how you view your birthday.Do you avoid it… or do you use it to grow?In this episode, you'll hear powerful insights on:- The difference between love (heart) and fear (mind)- How shame-based beliefs are formed—and how to break free- Why separating your true self from your past choices is life-changing- Seeing others beyond their wounds and behaviors- And why this matters now more than ever in a world where many youth feel safer turning to AI than to other humans, including reports of vulnerable youth being influenced toward self-harm—highlighting the urgent need for us to become safer, more compassionate spaces for one another. My birthday wish is simple:More acts of love. For yourself. For others. For the world.So today, I ask you—just for today—Can you choose love?If this episode resonates, please share it with someone you love and help spread this message.With infinite love always, Nadia NEWSLETTER: Subject: My 55th Birthday Wish Today is my 55th birthday.And instead of letting it pass by quietly… or looking at it through fear, regret, or “where did the time go?”…I’m choosing to use the day.To reflect.To grow.To rise from shame…and choose love.When I look back over my life, I can see a pattern I didn’t even realize I was creating…Choosing love over fear. Over judgment. Over shame.Not perfectly. But consistently enough to change the trajectory of my life.In today’s solo episode of Rising From Shame [INSERT EP LINK HERE] as well as Home is Within You, A Memoir of Recovery and Redemption [INSERT LINK TO PURCHASE HERE]. I open up about that journey—From childhood experiences that planted seeds of shame…To years of proving and performing…To recovery, healing, and coming back home to the truth:That we are not our mistakes.We are not the voice in our head that tells us we’re not enough.We are something far deeper—whole, divine, and complete.And now, more than ever, this matters.We’re living in a time where many young people feel safer opening up to AI than to another human being…And there are even concerning reports of AI being used in harmful ways, influencing vulnerable youth toward self-harm instead of guiding them to real support.That’s not just about technology.It’s an invitation for us.To become safer spaces.To listen more.To judge less.To meet each other with love instead of fear.So this is my birthday wish:More love.Love for yourself—maybe that looks like forgiveness, rest, or a kinder inner voice.Love for others—through patience, presence, and understanding. Just for today… can you choose love? Yes, indeed you can! If this message speaks to you, I’d be so grateful if you shared the episode with someone in your life.Let’s rise together.With love,NADIA ;) FREE BAN SHAME TIP SHEET⁠ EMPOWER YOUR RECOVERY⁠ ⁠YOGA (FREE for Parents in Recovery)⁠ ⁠GIVE BACK⁠ ⁠FOLLOW⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Apr 15 2026
    Please CHECK OUT Part 1 of Bryan Blackmon's interview if you haven't done so already. In this episode, Nadia engages in a deeply intimate conversation with the HERO AMONG US, Bryan Blackmon. This is not your typical Q & A chat. Bryan allows himself to courageously explore the deep inner truths that drove his life into addiction, crime, and nearly losing his life in Texas to a transformed and purposeful life in California. What unfolds is not just a story of recovery—but one of unexpected grace, resilience, and connection. Bryan opens up about the exact moments he began listening to his soul's voice, connecting to the heart space, and when "something beyond" inspired a solid belief within that he deserved to live a healthy and thriving life. He expands on the gifts of presence, clarity, and authentic human connection received as a result of sobriety and spiritual awakening. What began as a second chance quietly grew into something much bigger—today, Bryan is a TikTok voice of hope, inspiring thousands with his heart, courage, and vulnerability. Heroes don’t always wear capes. Often, they’re the ones who choose to own up, keep going, rebuild, and uplift others —one day at a time. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or simply need a story that restores your faith in people, this conversation will stay with you. Because sometimes, the most extraordinary lives are lived by “ordinary” people who refuse to give up.
