I have a special treat for you today! It's an incredible conversation with the Mother of Holistic Medicine, Dr Gladys McGarey, the 102-year-old woman that changed the world of medicine at a time when women weren’t even allowed to vote.. 

Gladys is internationally known for her ground-breaking work in holistic medicine. She's been honored for being a pioneer, she’s been to Afghanistan teaching women safer birth practices that led to a 47% decrease in infant mortality rates in that area. Gladys has been inducted into the Arizona’s Women Hall of Fame, and the impact of her work has reached hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. 

She accomplished this and so much more and did it through a time when women weren’t even doctors. Talk about resilience and true wisdom! Gladys is testament to the power of a life well-lived and filled with love. 

I hope you’re ready to be blown away. We jump straight into Gladys’ shock, humiliation and unexpected victory after being publicly divorced by her partner of 46 years, and why on Earth she literally put herself in his shoes.

Gladys is the original 102-year-old boss-babe before babes were bossing and voicing their opinions. She’s sharp, fierce, and living her best fulfilled life full of love that has led to 6 life lessons that every woman going through something needs to hear today.

If you’ve been through a painful divorce or breakup, if you know what it’s like to not have a voice, and you find yourself struggling some days to even see the simple moments of life then this episode is the medicine you need. 

GLAD QUOTES FROM GLADYS:

“There was too much good stuff for me to keep telling myself that it was all bad. I had to start being glad that I had all this time. It wasn’t a misused time, it was a well used time that I could reclaim what we had done.”

“I had to find the reality that was my voice when it was saying what I wanted it to say, and I didn’t need anybody else to validate it.”

“The reality of love is that love is a great healer for everything.”

“You can find the light in the darkness if you’re looking for it, but if you’re never looking for it you'll never see it.”

“If you focus on the fear and the pain, you’re stuck and you can’t move forward.”

“We as human beings are looking for our true humanity.”

“You have to have self-love in order to be able to love other people.”

“When things are really nasty, if you can reclaim some aspect of your whole life at that time that allows you to feel, ‘I have to keep on breathing,’ you can affirm, and as you affirm yourself, you affirm life and you affirm your love and your life changes.”

“Laughter without love is mean, it's cruel and it hurts.”

“Listening without love is empty sound.”
